Max Capacity Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 If it's lasted this long, sounds like the rebuild was done right. Can you find what was replaced during the rebuild ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

accasbel Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Seems it was an all oem rebuild sans turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Va_lgt Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 That seems prett legit to me, the only thing I would be particularly curious of is why it was rebuilt. But like above, if it's lasted this long seems like a solid rebuild. As far as what to look out for on the car I would drive it and see how the trans and rear end sound/feel, just seems to be the most expensive area besides the turbo. Plus ,knock on wood, lgts seem to be pretty reliable. At least mine and a few friends I know don't seem to have issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
