lstevens76 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Ok, so I went to try and diagnose the problem today and either way it went, the car won't even start now (cranks and occasionally tries, but won't start). So I'm at the point of just ordering the parts and putting an EJ251 lower end in it w/ the EJ22 Phase 2 Heads. I've done a ton of research and I have a line on 2 different blocks (one has a spun bearing though, so may need crank work). That part is handled. Now onto the next part, which is shopping. Here is what I am looking at: ACL Bearing set .001 over http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ICTF6VY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3RG6IQ0XGU0CF STI Turbo 2.5L Head Gaskets (OEM): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BGGBQ6Y/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1MM6MK6TUHTXN Full Gasket Set (Evergreen as I've had good luck with them except head gaskets): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MVATLTI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A131HE22U4WT5U yes it's for an 04, but 98% of those gaskets also match the Phase 2 EJ222 including valve stem seals, valve covers, spark plug grommett gaskets, etc... and that was matching them via parts.subaru.com to other vehicles. Other option for gaskets would be ITM or skipping the STI gaskets and using an Ishino gasket set (but I don't believe there gaskets will be updated). and finally: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D3QUU8U/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A30UY5IZ1VQRNY Yep, threebond 1215. Am I forgetting anything? Other than maybe replacing the heater hoses/radiator hoses and I'm thinking about that just budget as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
