Hi All, Just had my 99 Impreza Turbo back from Subaru - had it in for analysis as it's been running lumpy when sat in traffic and smoking slightly from exhaust and burning oil. The tech suggests that needs engine stripping to establish exact problem - but suggests possible Bore Wash on cylinder 2 and would need a full re-build for 2.5 - 3 k ouch and more than the cars worth!

Does anyone have any suggestions - can i get the compression tested on No2 and just have this replaced - is there a recommended engine specialist for this job and what's a realistic price? How much for a decent second hand engone fitted roughly.

Help me please i'm having a nightmare day and it's a friday!

 

canyone help me out with this - put me out of my misery! or point me in the right direction please.

 

Give David @ API Engines a ring - he will run you through the options you have

 

get a compression tester from halfords etc and check it

 

You need a cylinder leak test done to identify if its rings or valves, alot more accurate than a compression tester.

 

I would have hoped Subaru would have done the compression test as part of the analysis and supplied you with the results saving you this bother.
