Timing Belt Ripped
Niiice! Not a bad idea! Ya, despite subaru engine being just like any other 4stroke, there some minor differences that will make u wanna toss a wrench... I.e, on inline and Vs, you gotta split bottom end and caps before removing piston. Subaru, u HAVE to remove piston before splitting block. What got me the most that ill save u trouble with. Main and rod bearing oil clearances! NORMALY, FSMs provide oil clearancesc given in a total amount (both sides of crank added together) subaru gives u clearances for one side. This is because we have flat fours where oil is coming in from BOTH side of bearings as opposed to just one side on inline and V type. Subaru engines are really quite easy with ebough practice. Ive never rebuilt subaru before this feb. Since then ive built 5. Lol. Goodluck with proj! And I suggest upgrading yo allen head oil separator bolts!
