can anyone tell me if replacing the crank bearings a major job

could the cause be a weak oil pump


cheers rob

 

Engine out job i'm affraid.

 

That's a major job, as a Subaru engine being of flat configuration, means that the first thing in and the last thing out is the crank.

SO, whilst there is no need to strip the cylinder heads down, EVERY other part of the engine will be in pieces.

Not a job for a learner or anyone of faint heart, no matter how enthusiastic.

Leave it to the professionals or face weeks of aggro is my advice.
