happy hector

What have I done to cause such grief and turmoil? I'm scared to turn the news on 'chichester murderer in Subaru slaughterhouse '. For a counselling service try 07934711909 😇

I have used this spec up to 500bhp/575 ft.lbs no problem.

yes it will but you will need to drill out the head bolt holes very slightly to 14mm (ideally 14.2mm)

Thanks for that. Alyn at AS Performance did the inserts vapour blat and ultrasonic cleaning. Supplied and tapped for 14mm studs. Hammond at Deeside did the rebore and hone. Crank from Subaru UK. Rods from Andy Williams Holywell. Bearings from co-ordsport. Built by me Graham Hickman with 35 years engine building experience.

ok had a word with Santa and he says he'll throw in a pair of 0.070" mls gaskets and take £2000 anyone out there want the bargain of the year??

That's an interesting name. £2500 or as close as possible. Don't forget that's not exchange. And it's built ready to drop heads on.

If anyone is interested I have a completely built 2.5 short engine. It has an inserted top deck with 14mm studs and integral dowels. There is a new later nitrided crank installed and Williams steel rods with Mahle 100mm forged pistons. Competition bearings and ARP bolts. I don't mind taking it apart in front of a prospective buyer but I can assure you it is built correctly to exacting tolerances. Sadly I am leaving my Subaru and moving into a new area of boxer engines! It cost me almost £3000 to get it this far but Christmas is coming so no reasonable offer refused.
