  • Long Journey ahead...

    Well..I thought i droped a valve in the Impreza, but it turned out to be worse. The 2 valve heads broke off the stems and played pinball in the combustion chamber. Total destruction!.... Now I have a reason to rebuild....

    The is what happen when you head is harder then your heads!

          That looks healthy! You don't play when you break stuff, huh?

          Time for a 2.5?

                    It would rock if you could find a used 2.5 in good shape. I think you would really benefit from the extra torque down low that a 2.5 would provide...
