Well i am holding the funeral a week on friday peeps
For those who dont know, my impreza died at Santa Pod recently just moments afret completing a 13.2 Sec run.
Taken from cruisewirral DVD Race 2
I have lost the compression on 2 cylinders so i removed the nearside cylinder head and got it skimmed as there were signs of the head gasket leaking, I built the head back up today and i still have no compression <img border="0" alt="[are u mad]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions050.gif" />
So, there was only one thing for it...... Got on the fone and ordered a new engine from Subaru, its getting fitted next week <img border="0" alt="[smokin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions036.gif" />
Should be back on the road next weekend or so....

Any idea what the cause of the blow up was, and what happened? Holed piston?
What If There Were No Hypothetical Questions?

Looks like a damaged piston at the moment, however due to the location of the pistons it is very difficult to see them even using mirrors...
Its not a holed piston, that was the last engine's problem.... <img border="0" alt="[are u mad]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions050.gif" />
Once the engine is removed i will have a better idea and keep ya posted peeps......
