Oh no, what have I done... Part 2

[Chris GTO TT]

Your only terrible decision was sticking with Subaru. The rest of your decisions have been pretty darn good.

...well...and removing the Fords chrome bumper, but I might be on my own island there.

I mean perhaps, but I also have a lot of familiarity with Subaru. Switching to another brand would have required starting from scratch. Also there's not a whole lot of sedan/wagon fun cars out there. I wanted something my kids could also ride in and i could daily if i wanted.

Might as well stick it out then and get it the way you want it. At least Subaru's aren't the most expensive to work on.

[Chris GTO TT]

Yeah i could have bought an Audi or Fiat or BMW

[DCIV]

Okay. So you just needs heads again or this a whole engine redo?

I really don't know what it needs at this point. If the cam seizing threw aluminum shavings into the rest of the engine then....

Jason is a couple of working biceps away from building a War Rig,

I keep looking at the bumper and winch in the garage and the rails for the Subaru. I'll probably install the catch can on the vette and the rails at least on mine Friday.

Out of town right now just south of Canada

[Chris GTO TT]

Go across the border to the promised land and get some Tim Horten's

[Duck Vader]

I'm only like 20 miles away. Lol

[Jeff V.]

There's a Tim Hortons 5 minutes from my mom's house in the Detroit suburbs.

Okay. So if doesn’t cost you anything to tear it apart and start looking what you need though.


Coop

[Jeff V.]

Coop is correct. It could be minor, or you could find the whole engine is a write-off. But at least you'd know for sure.

[DCIV]

It’s also important to remind yourself that you do like this stuff. You don’t think so right now, but if you didn’t know how to do this you would hate to pay someone and have much less cool stuff.



Coop

[Chris GTO TT]

Yeah I get that, but I'm honestly torn between just wanting it running and wanting to do it myself. I also currently feel like I just want it gone.

[Chris GTO TT]

Good news is the refund for the FL heads is finally showing pending. As much as I'm done with this thing I'm pretty sure I'm im just going to pick it up on the 2nd.

[Chris GTO TT]

So much want ... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... tid=dXMIcH

[DCIV]

Seems like a decent price.


Coop

[Chris GTO TT]

It's a bit steep some eBay importers have them for like $1200 shipped

[Chris GTO TT]

Picking up the car on the 2nd to pull the engine myself. We leave for So-Cal tomorrow, and the shop is closed all next week.

[ChargerX3]

Id give you a hand if i was a bit closer.

[Chris GTO TT]

It's now back in the garage waiting for me to pull the engine again.
