Love the chrome. I did my intake and bits and pieces including fuel rails and hard vacuum lines with steel-it grey paint. The stuff is amazing and addictive. Yours looks nice and clean. I don’t

Then I got into that tangle of wires that live under the intake manifold. ?What a mess. ?They were dirty and grimy and sticky, etc. ?So I cleaned them and re-wrapped them and finally got them

Having gained some confidence with the powder coating, I cleaned and sandblasted the fuel injector rails and guards. ?I coated the rails yellow and one guard chrome and one in bright yellow.

So I received a powder coating kit (Eastwood) as a gift. My wife let me have our old toaster oven to use. Powder coating is incredibly easy. You clean or sandblast the parts to be coated, hook up the

Subaru has used three oil separator plates over the years. First was plastic and I’ve seen pics of them brittle or even melted. Then they used aluminum (which was on mine) but I’ve not seen or

My intake manifold was a mess. Filthy dirty. So I used carb cleaner (lots of it) and cleaned it thoroughly. Then I sand blasted it. Then painted it. Then I removed and cleaned the throttle body.

I replaced the oil pump (OEM) and squirted some assembly lube and rotated it a bit, replaced the oil pump/crank seal, replaced the water pump, thermostat (OEM), all idler pulleys (Aisin), timing belt

The guy I used for my heads felt more or less the same way, but I went new for peace of mind. He said the cam is good, better than the dohc that do need replacing more often and he said the same about

I would inspect the condition of the bearing journals before spending the money on a full short block. I have pulled a number of 150,000 mile-plus engines down and have almost never found problems

I’d also remove the oil pump clean it replace the seals and prime it with assembly lube

I took it down this far.

The short block is available through subarupartsdeal.com I think for right at

Got it on the stand and the party was about to begin!
