Just stripped down my 2006 forester xt ej255 to do head gaskets as they had blown. The heads are away getting skimmed. So I’ve got to wait 2 weeks. So I got thinking what else can I do while my engine is out and apart??
i know these engines suffer with ringland failure. So I thought while I’m hear I might aswell change them. My question is what else is worth doing while I’m here? Do the factory con rods give problems? Big end bearings?
I don’t want to strip the whole engine and go mad. I’m just being cautious. It’s only got 52k miles and I won’t be pulling stupid horse power. Just a nice exhaust and a remap!
cheers guys and girls.
