New motor installed June 28, 2003 JDM Subaru Impreza STI RA long
block. I was told this is the strongest motor that Subaru makes.
Has forged pistons and rods, sodium filled valves, larger cams and an awesome
head porting job.
AVCS hooked up finally in June 2004 a whole year later, think it's working
no MIL. Car painted looking great.

My Garage
Had to make a garage some how with all the rain we have been getting. This set up works just ok, using a sheet of plywood for the floor. |

Engine out

Piston
This was the worst damaged piston. The cylinder walls are still perfect. |

Valves Bent
This is what happens when your timing belt breaks at 7,000 RPM's. Also pistons are damaged from valves. Even one of the camshafts cracked. Timing belt cover all busted from the cam gear breaking. |
