My engine out of my STI 6 Type R V-LTD MY2000 has the same pattern, does it mean that it too is a closed deck block??

Just managed to take some pics of the block of my 93 WRX. I've found some hatched markings, the ones i have pics for are on the front of the block and the back left. I think there was another at the back right but i couldn't get a pic of it.... The block also seems have a gritty sort of finish (compared to the heads) in line with it being sand cast. Have a look and tell me what you think.

Ignore all the **** on the first pic..... still haven't cleaned all the crap off it when the power steering pump was changed.

Pavlo, the smart guy would run away to the next room the minute she starts the labour process. You thought the lady could swear during lovwe making? You haven't seen/heard anything yet till a woman gives birth. Another pro-tip by my late brother in law and congratulations.

Pavlo

sokay Katana, not the first, the previous one was born at home too, no drugs or no gas.

Where's the pattern located?

Tony.

Pavlo

I think it matters where it is. Phase 2 heads have the pattern, but not the block, but I'll check, i have one stripped in the garage.

However, stranger things have happened. I did hear a myth that some later cars came with closed deck blocks.

To test for sure you can remove the water pipe under the inlet manifold and have a poke around with yer finger, see what you find.
