DOHCEJ22E1 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 That thing went dramatically, as expected of a blown 25D. Man, if these engines never overheated, they would be equivalent to the EJ22 in reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travgag Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 yuppers, the head is done, it wouldnt have been such a mess if i did drive it haha i wonder how subaru screwed up on all of the 2.5's throughout so many years, i guess they were'nt aware of the problem ? kinda ridiculous, think of the hundred of thousands of cars 2.5's that went.

JJay03 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Yup pretty sad you would think there would be some kind of recall or something where they would at least pay for parts. Chevy did that with the 3.1's where the intake gaskets always went and got coolant in the oil. yuppers, the head is done, it wouldnt have been such a mess if i did drive it haha i wonder how subaru screwed up on all of the 2.5's throughout so many years, i guess they were'nt aware of the problem ? kinda ridiculous, think of the hundred of thousands of cars 2.5's that went.

travgag Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 yuppers, sometimes it practically puts the company out of business, like a few years that bombardier made the one motor for their sleds, they all blew up within a 1000 k or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
