im in the market for a new shortblock for my 99rs. Anyone got a spare SOHC shortblock that they are willing to part with? I want it with less than 100,000 miles on it, and NO piston slap (reason i need a new one). If anyones got one, let me know!
I might, when do you need one? I would probally have the whole engine assem. up for sale if my STI swap happens soon It has about 97k on it, let me know if your interested and there is "minor" piston slap
well i want to get it by the end of july. What is "some" piston slap? how much were you thinkin for it? (you can PM me price if you dont wanna talk about it here)
Actually, you don't want my engine, I would hate to see you having problems with it later on Here's one in medford, WI http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1999-Subaru-Impreza-2-5-SOHC-Engine-Motor_W0QQitemZ8068664565QQcategoryZ33615QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I have a EJ257 shortblock. It's all opened up and at the stage where you can upgrade things, new bearings, etc. BECAUSE, if no one will buy this EJ257, then I may have to rebuild it with good stuff and run it. It's got a few missing block halve bolts, which can be obtained from the dealer, it's got all pistons, rods, crank, rings. Comes w/o oil pump, water pump, and pullies, which you can transfer from your block. It has a few little nicks here and there. Had Russ (WRX1) look at it as well as Brian from Minnetonka Subaru. Asking $800 or best offer. Like said, if no one buys, then I may have to rebuild it with good stuff. Nothing to worry when I'm all done building it.
My ej207 should be here within the month, hopefully sooner. I have 98k on my motor and have had no problems, oil changed every 3k religiously. Had a new water pump, timing belt tensioner and guides, and the head gasket warranty at around 56k. I won't have a harness since Garage Tuning will be splicing mine into my new one. I would part with it for 1k and that would include a Borla wrapped header, Injen CAI, Magnecore wores (with the proper plugs so they don't pop off like everyone says they do) -Matt
