Search button is your friend.

Look for i-speed...

Go for the bobblehead design pistons (no measurement for tolerances needed) just as long as you are in the Bush family, so you don't have to worry about adding a quart of oil every 100 miles.

Here's the design:

If you really want to blow up your engine, dynamite's cheaper than a crawford engine.

go to gruppe-S or LIC. They are both guaranteed to do you good.

Save yourself headaches and avoid them all together. Or you can just go to Oakland at 12am hold up a sign that says I dare you to strip my car and kick me in the nuts during the process. Which would be a lot faster and basically have the same overall effect.

No. Crawford motors are the most poorly designed and built engines that the world has seen since the begining of times.

Everyone knows my take on built Subaru engines. I think they are too expensive and unreliable in a long term to justify the cost and other factors involved. My preference is factory spec high performance engines (JDM Spec C). Or, if you just MUST have a "built" engines, I would no go further than pistons and rods. Once you start boring, sleeving and grinding your block, things go sour.
