'93 WRX - closed or open type block ?
#1
I have a '93 WRX with a melted piston. Once the engine was removed from the car and the heads taken off it was found to have a melted piston. I also noticed it seemed to be the closed type block that is used. I thought only the STi's had a closed type block ? The replacement bottom end I have is of the open type design. Is there any problems with using this ?
Can anyone shed some light on this ?
Cheers !

closed deck blocks have hatch markings (bit like graph paper) on the rear of the engine block near the crank sensor

dont know what caused the melted piston as the car was bought this way. Suspected that the lad was running it on normal $hitty unleaded but who knows !
Thanks everyone for the info !
