bstone Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Oil level seems fine. I'll know more in the morning. Hard to inspect at midnight on the side of the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 oh no. its the time of year things break when the temps start to cool off. Also the time of year stray cats take shelter within the hood where it is warm. first check is the alternator belt as mentioned. Hopefully that is what happened. hopefully cat is ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Probably going to replace it with an ej22 from lkq. They got it for 500ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 yep, that's a fine solution. was that Ej25 previously overheated or headgaskets replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 since the block is still good and demand is high you can probably recoupe some of the costs of the new motor for the EJ25 block. heck you can probably get close to the cost of the motor for it.

1-3-2-4 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 reminds me of this green legacy sedan I saw last year when we got all this snow.. it was spinning like crazy to get up the hill only the fronts spun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will make two EJ25 blocks that I will have. Are you interested? Should I post in the sales section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
