They are using plenty of molybdenum disulphide assembly grease on the head bolts and cams which is a good sign. A lot of so called engine builders might just put a squirt of oil in there which is not as good on initial start up as moly, or a moly/oil mix.


trust me marky ... I done sh## loads of home work on choosing my builder ... They come highly recomened from ... The bset subaru tuner's

Also they have done lots of stroker kits too ... So i knows its in good hands ... there are well busy ...

pasty's is next once mines see day light again ... cheers for looking

Rocko


Ours should be next !

Hopefully the 2.2 cdb miss match has been sorted and the next set of spec c heads have turned up after the 1st set had hairline cracks in them.
(common fault in subarus)

CPA Just sent a few more pictures just to let me know what stage there at ..His waiting for turbo now to come back from Zircotec The Ceramic coating place ..

So he can locate turbo before fitting engine in to car ..

Just a lilttle up date .. .. Having tryin to source a decent fabricator .. We/ CPA were held up getting this hardpipe custom made .. which need to be spot on .. so fair play to a chap call'd Andy to putting his hard work in ..

Also so had inlet manifold back from RCM And Rocker covers ..
Just need to Double cheak that the custom made pipe fits the new manifold .. so it can be sent of for the red crinkel finish ...

Now with the manifold back the lads can crack on with fuel rails and lines and fuel filter..
