Picked up our STI-hybrid swap donor today!

[Tamra]

We had incredible turnaround time from Larry's Power in Groton, CT - picked up ALL of the engine components yesterday (after only one week!!)! Heads were machined to match the 257 block, and decked. The block was bored to 99.75mm and honed using a torque plate, and decked. Also had the new oem EJ205 crankshaft, ACT flywheel and South Bend pressure plate balanced. Apparently the flywheel and pressure plate "really" needed it.

Block:



MPS H-Tuff rods and JE pistons arrived. The JE's were all less than a gram difference in weight. One of the MPS rods we will need to balance, but nothing major.


Subaru Master Gasket kit... organization sold separately.


Today we lapped the valves first. Before and after (right):


Lapped valve seat @ left, worn & pitted @ right.
