Pulling my motor if anyone wants to be nice and lend a hand. I can pay a little, feed you and beer you up.

Changing the headgaskets, water pump, head studs and timing belt.

I have all the tools and the engine picker and stand. I have the Subaru manual also.

My gf is good to look at too

Oh and if you smoke I got that too.

I can wait. Was going to start on it Sat. I will get the dp off and get all the top work ready to pull it and wait for ya. I got my neighbor singed on to lend a hand also.

Reason I am pulling it is I still get air in my coolant and it comes out the overflow res. It is fine on the freeway and around town but if I boost a lot and do a lot of hill climbs it starts to do it a lot. I think I might have stretched head studs and it is making for a slightly lifted head gasket.


Should be fun

Time to get the motor off the picker. I bought a 1000lb motor stand, should be enough for an aluminum 2.5 right?

I am going to give Nick with the JDM STI swapped black bug eye to maybe come help. IF anyone wants to help wrench or just kick it hit me up on my cell and if you don't know it hit me up via pm. I would really appreciate any help/company.

I am hearing a lot of good stuff about the new MS3. Supposed to be pretty nice for the cost.
