[@aussiebloke609]

I think I bought one of Barry's recon jobs when I was a kid. It was a Honda CB250T, supposedly rebuilt. It lasted 2 days. When we pulled it apart, there was so much silicone where the barrel joins the bottom end, it had squeezed out and completely blocked the oil galleries to the head - to the point the valve rockers had worn _completely_ through in a day. Never again - I'll do my own work now or buy something with a warrantee, but I'll never trust anyone else's work again when it comes to buying a vehicle.

When Moog was yelling "head gasket" in the background, I couldn't help but think about his Ford Focus RS.

Theres a stage 1 block you can get from the states. If you guys want too. Only difference is forge pistons and upgraded bearings and I think the crank is nitrated I believe. Everything else is OEM.

I know many people hate on subaru's and it may not be my main car but i have had 3 subaru's. I have 2 L series wagons with 1 over 200k km's and other with over 300k.

[@Ilovecookies007]

Locktite costs fukall haha
If theres locktite on the thread then you torquing it up to spec means it will be the wrong spec. The locktite liquid will be pressurized and thus giving the wrong torque reading. Benny has been in the business for years, wouldn't go against anything he says/advises 👌

Markus314159 they have multiple layers and crush together when torque is applied to the head. This ensures a good seal against waves in the metal and hold more pressure compared to old paper gaskets.

The goop in the cylinders is from short trips where it does not get hot enough to burn the oil off. This is a result of the cylinders being on their side all the time. I've heard that certain oils exacerbate the issue (probably cheap ones). Just one of the caveats of a boxster engine.

The amount of difficulty MCM had with removing the cam bolts is normal for Subaru EJ motors. It's very common for a couple these to get stripped during disassembly and has nothing to do improper torque. This can even happen with motors that have never been disassemble since they left the factory. Any Subaru mechanic who has worked on EJ motors will be able to corroborate this fact.
