Hia guys...going to open the engine next week and what's wrong with it as it burns oil.We've changed the turbo cause i thought that might be the issue but it didn't help.So i need some advice what else needs to be changed when changing piston rings?I'm also going to change all of the gaskets and clutch...but I'm affraid that there might be some piston damage aswell ...but don't wanna go for forged ones cause i'm quite low on budget cause I'm getting redundant at the end of the month...any place where can i buy stock postons...conrods...etc?...cheers for belp chaps.

 

i thought forged pistons were cheaper than standard ones, unless you buy used standard ones

 

Really?Well i didn't know about that...and what's the best value for the pistons and rods...and most reliable....and what else has to be changed?Thanks.

 

Std 2.0 OE pistons from Subaru are under £30.00 each, rings £165.00 a set.

 

in a way of things to change because its burning oil, check or replace your valve stem seals, its not a common fault but while i was rebuilding mine seems worth while doing while you can get to them just ensure obviously you make a note of what valve goes in what hole and to lap them properly stem seals are exceptionally cheap too

 

I bought Wiseco/manley from here:

And can u send me a link or anything cause I can't find it..for that kind of money

 

Thats what a Subaru quoted 2 weeks ago, for a 99 turbo 2000,for a customer of mine, so i suggest you phone your local dealer.

 

Before you rebuild it make sure you identify where the problem is, otherwise its guess work and you will be pretty hacked off if it doesn't fix it.

And make sure you hone your bores before you put it back together. We've got a large selection of second hand pistons for £20 each. We do the piston ring set for £135. We can also do you an Exedy clutch for £150 and we stock all the other gaskets you will need if need be.
