Can anyone recommend where I can get a re-furbished short motor for my MY00 STb Forester. It is the block etc. as an Impreza (EY20). It is currently emitting a (getting) louder rattle from when cruising, this largely disappears when accelerating or decelerating. It disappears when the injector to cylinder 4 is disconnected. I guess it is small end bearing or piston gudgeon pin wear. The engine has covered 100,000 miles, and is in a reasonably high state of tune for a Forester (230bhp). Incidentally when investigating the problem I found that the plug for number 4 cylinder was badly eroded.
Any help and suggestions greatly received.
