I wouldn't say it's an issue with an Impreza engine. A big heavy cast block might have some "give" in it, but not these light alloy ones.
It doesn't seem to matter with these if they are new or not, you invariably have to carry out some corrective machining which is why we always trial assemble first.

Also, the factoy doesn't catch all the little buggers of debris out of the block.
just a preference

So you'd take the new engine out of your car, throw it away then fit a used one ?

So is this block machined by you? What block is it based on, how/where do you get the design for it?
Thanks
Sam
