Soooo pretty sure my WRX has shat a ringland or similar, compression test at the weekend to be sure.

If this is the case, I'm fairly sure it is, then I want to swap a Ver 8 STi Short block in. I can pick up a refurbished short block with ACL race bearings etc etc for £900.

What sort of a shopping list am I going to need for this? Obviously head gaskets, exhaust gaskets, new clutch, I've got a brand new waterpump sat in the garage already.

I very recently did the cambelt on my current engine so I would use the pulleys from that and just buy a new belt.

Cheers

 

I don't think there is anything else you need from what you have listed, don't forgot threebond sealant for cam caps/ rocker cover
