Pistons have to come out anyway m8 so for what it costs i would do the con-rod bearings as well, Be a shame to build it and then a rod bearing decides to spoil you day

Hi mate u could just change the bearings but you would have to be very thourugh.for the sake of rebuilding I would personally go the whole hog but that's if I had the money,by the way I've got a 99 Sti v6 aswell great car, have you tried penning Subaru as they are based in hebden bridge. Give them a call on 01422845007 and speak to chy. They are *hit hot.

there **** hot alright,if you want to keep going back down to him after your engine keeps failing through the poor workmanship.get it done properly from a reputable company like enginetuner or API who know what there doing.
