What about some of these mate?

mmmm 350Z mmmm very very very nice, quite rare aswel, only problem is they aint a turbo i dont think anyway(easily solved though)

Scooby if you put the 2.5 Litre Lump in The Scoob, Would you run the turbo aswell ? and would you sell it straight after doing the work, or would you keep it for a bit longer??

u no the 2.5 conversion is right. i wud luk at koolin then scoob as stuy sed. not right just poppin at 6000 revs like that. wuddnt o thought coolin have bin problem. Maybee a fault on new engine straight from factory? subaru will b gud 2 ya i thinx as they pride themselves on buildin bullit proof motors that shift quicker than a chav wid a stolen baseball cap.

in the way op replacin the scoob is a tricky 1. but u wanna no what i think.
well tught ur gonna find out.

A Piston should look like this....

I Took a few pictures of the engine whilst i was there......











Short of time right now but opinions are welcome peeps.

Ahhh the good old cambelt maze what a headache

Gutted for you mate, not good especially as its a new ish lump, could it be a problem with the injector on that piston ?? its happpened before on the same one hasnt it? Might be wort a scratch of the head over.
Hope you get it sorted

Forgot to mention, it looks like subaru are replacing the unit with a nice new one under warranty but i have to pay for the gastet kit (£300)

Could be damage limitation....

I have further info on the 2.5 litre short engine that i will post later on...

Good news on the replacement, is't worth getting the heads flowed as there off , Have you got a alloy flywheel on it?? I fitted a set of manifolds 2 1 last year , that made a bit of extra power .

I was going to say that Lancia Delta. Best road car ever, total respect.

I dont know what to do Grizz, looking at maybe just fitting the new engine and selling it as i have lost faith and trust.

Its a bit like your wife cheating on you, you never quite get 100% trust back, there is always that shadow of doubt in the back of your mind....

Maybe its time to move on and get a new one but the question is what ??

I "gto"
think "gto"
you "gto"
should "gto"
go "gto"
for "gto"

TBH, I know its not a good thing, but I expected much worse and most of the piston to be missing. As the melting has occured on the side of the piston, and not in the center, I recon its run a little lean and done the damage. If a plug / injector had gone down, for sure, the whole piston would have been a gonna, but I recon its still had fuel flowing in there, just not enough to keep the entire chamber cool enough.

Nice little Walbro jobbie if your keeping her when she goes back together

Know what you mean !! I only had the audi 4 months before one of the turbos went pop . so £5k later it was back on the road . But as you say ' what next' ????
