Crank is from my rover V8. Kinda my fault...when using a remote filter housing, make sure the oil is flowing the correct way through it..Most oil filters only flow in one direction, as I discovered to my cost.
You cant see what Im saying about the oil flow through the journals from the pics. Although if you look at the bearings in the block, Nos 1 3 5 have the groove in the bearing shell to supply oil flow to the crank, to supply the big end journals. The Crank GGR sell, has more oilways, and obviously bearings to match, to provide oilflow from main journals 1 2 3 4, to big end journals 1 2 3 4 ( although not specifically on any order.. )
They do not drill the crank at the rear, apparently for strength issues, and it is no longer necessary, due to the oil supply, from the other 4 main journals.
I will be using the STI4 pistons, I got sec. hand. See other pics...
F**K its costing a hell of a lot!!!!!!
Should get my bearings tomorrow, then just need a few new O rings and I can start sticking it together again, after I split another block to get me a crankshaft, this time from an engine with melted pistons... I have too much scrap lying about. Am I hard on a car, or is it just my imagination???

Yep, the legacy IHI does seem to suffer cracks. Im using the Mitsubushi TD05 on my car though.
I should have pics of WRX crank and rods over the weekend, as I have to split another block, to get myself a crank, as the one in the pics is F*cked, which is the original legacy unit with 130,000 miles. Block, and bores are still mint too, as are the original pistons. The WRX engine im splitting, melted a psiton though, and bores are damaged. Doubt there will be much difference with the rods, but you never know...

do you self a favour and get stronger billet conrods with arp bolts when you are putting the engine back together
the conrods out of a sti are the same as legacy and on the colour might be different eg red
you can buy them from the states really cheap
I have sourced crower billet rods (4340 steel for 600 us dollars)
It will save you heaps in the long run
