I've got an oil leak on my 2006 WRX Hawkeye (2.5) and it looks as though it may be an engine out job. Is there any jobs that are worth doing whilst it is out to help make it worthwhile? Performance or maintenance.

 

depends on budget..........

new clutch/flywheel
cambelt kit
oil pump inspection
front and rear crank oil seals
rocker gaskets
spark plugs

OR
bigger turbo
engine rebuild
rotated set-up
etc etc

 

Head gaskets, pistons, rods, oil pickup pipe, full rebuild.

Simples.

 

I'm deffo looking at doing the turbo as that makes sense, I think the clutch does too. I'm deffo not planning on upgrading the internals of the engine unless the oil leak requires it to be opened up though

 

Do internals before turbo...

 

It had a rebuild only a couple of years back. I'm only gong for a VF48 or something, so no plans to do internals regardless.

 

Ah, ok.

 

Clean injectors, just as important as plugs....unless they were new/clean at rebuild

 

I'll get the Garage to check them, thanks. Hoping to get it booked in with RM Performance.
