I bring this to the board of knowledge here. I do not have knowledge of Subaru personally, please help me. I have a 1996 Legacy Outback with a 2.5 and it has 236,000 mi on it. I just purchased it with the knowledge of it having problems. At least 1 and 3 valves are bent, 2 and 4 have 160 psi compression. It does run! Just not well. If I'm going to pull this motor for the repairs...I'm going to rebuild it. The question I have is...Do you have to Bore the Cylinders at 230,000 or are you just honing and buying rings. Every machine shop here acts like they have never done it. -
So i have an extra EA82 that has about 90k on it, it was running well until the head gasket went. When i took it apart i noticed one of the cylinders had a pitted rust spot about a quarter of an inch square near the end of the piston stroke. I dont remember it smoking, but it probably was to some extent. Would it be worth boring and getting enlarged pistons if i could do the boring myself? I'm currently going to school as a machinist and may have the correct machines to do it at home. But ive read that the EA82 is not worth boring for cost reasons. Has anyone had a bore job done on their EA82? how did it work out for you? Any and all discussion on this topic is welcome and appreciated.
