New motor

Well #3 cylinder has 20 psi. Im looking for a new or rebuilt 2000 2.5 SOHC. I was thinking of leaving phx area for this, like SmallCar or Metric Motors.
I have had years of issues and been through 2 motors in 3 yrs so dont trust local rebuild’s any longer. Yrs ago i found an online west coast bendor who built new motor s maybe for VWs and sand rails but cant remember who it was. All comments welcome! Sean 87 Syncro Subie |

I’ve heard great things about subiworks as well as Outfront motorsports if you’re looking for a shop in CA. Smallcar is an excellent option as well!

Hello, try a motor from AutoZone, maybe a little more, but got 3 or 4 years warranty, labor included!!!

Outfront was the name ! SubieWorks in Phx sold me the last 2 motors. I dont think the local rebuilder is worth a 3rd try.

Which Metric?Motors?? Googling that name has all sorts of results. Why would?that be better?than a new short block from Subaru directly? Andy Vanis USA and Whatsapp +1(505) 304-5306 On Fri, Jul 19, 2024 at 9:54?PM Bob Stevens via <mtbiker62=[email protected]> wrote:

Hi Sean,? I took my donor car's 2002 2.5 engine to Rocky Mountain Westy in Fort Collins, CO.? They got me a new shortblock from Subaru directly and had the rest machined/checked with a local shop.? They can also coordinate rebuilds from Subaru.? That was 6+ years ago and that engine is probably going on 30K miles and no issues.? I've been continually impressed with any of my routine dealings with Rocky Mountain Westy.? It helps that I live in Fort Collins, but I would certainly recommend them.?? |
开云体育S & S in Alpine, Ca is the one that build my Frankenmotor. Steve the owner specializes in building sandrails equip with Subaru engines. Had it done in 2018 no problems at all. Pretty cool guy to deal with.

Thank you for the good report.? I too have been very satisfied with my EJ22 from Steve, who supplies all motors to Ceasar at California Westys in El Cajon.? I did in 2015, and zero troubles after 75K miles.? I never met the man.

开云体育Unfortunately I had a very different experience at S & S. I had detailed it previously and don’t want to rehash everything, but i could never recommend anyone do business with Steve. Call around to some other reputable Subaru shops down in Southern California and I know you’ll get the same advice from them.?On Jul 21, 2024, at 11:33?AM, Alex De Guzman <azianspirit@...> wrote:

From threadhread $1800ish is a good price for a rebuilt short block.
?
"Hummed and hawed over this for awhile, and finally decided to go with the reman short block from PNW Subaru (East Side Subaru dealership in Kirkland, WA) for $1800-ish plus $200 core charge. Also ordered Six Star gaskets and new head bolts, along with a bunch of stuff from Rock Auto (there is a lot of debate about reusing head bolts, but for $80, I might as well go new). I'll get my heads machined at Magnum in Burnaby, carefully looking for any cracks. This wasn't the cheapest way to go, but I should have a pretty solid engine by the time I am done. Starting the tear down this weekend, and will update as I go!"

开云体育I like what a previous message said about Rocky Mountain Westy in Fort Collins, CO. ?My experience has been that they are always sticklers for quality and that their parts will not just fix your van but will actually improve your van. ?RMW recommends the 2000-2004 EJ25 for combination of adequate power and ease of maintenance without the complicated electronics of more modern engines that SmallCar deals with.For a reliable builder closer to Phoenix that is always a stickler for quality I would strongly suggest reaching out to Adrian from Vanagon City in Torrance California (310) 308-7864. ?Adrian works closely with OutFront Motors and, just like Rocky Mountain Westy, is always a stickler for the highest quality parts and components in his builds. ?He won’t use rebuilt short blocks and prefers Subaru factory new ones adding on better quality pistons, gaskets, etc. ?He does for the EJ motors what GoWesty does for the Waterboxer - carefully turns them into hot rod versions of their previous selves. He can make stock engines, Frankenmotors and souped up strokers to make your van drive like a Camaro. ? You can check out his work on his facebook page or instagram: ? ?Cheers and enjoy the ride! ? kevin? |

if someone?(not me) was inspired to compile a summary of these results?it could?really help the community...maybe we have something?like a sticky or we can post the results on a site that does like Samba (Brents call on that I'd guess)....Really good info in these posts!
