Engine Blown - Help
Hi there guys/Gals
3 weeks ago my car had the sounds that every car owner dreads, rattling - Knocking
Now looking for an engine rebuilder - or engine to fit in my WRX 2002 Bugeye.
Engine number is: EJ205NW4BB
Whats the best option in this situation, theres a lot of rebuilders out there - but who to trust thats the question.
I intend to repair and keep as i love the car - so anyhelp would be great.
xxxx - Thanks

Everything depends on damage,and from this will be price,i will recommend contact him.
I was at same position like you(mine radiator has been damaged badly) and pay for recovery track(£100 from Heathrow),because Neil get me best price here...
Second hand engine is big risk....

i'll put my money on stew at tfs racing in camberley surrey doing it.
hes a member on here i think but also on surrey scoobies!?

that is the website, he is quick and also has the ability to colllect your car i think on a truck?
may as well go uprated if your pulling the engine, so for 3k i reckon a built bottom end could be feasable!

There isn’t any in SE London as such subaru specific, I used to be in forest hill. Depending work required a basic rebuild, new crank, bearings, gaskets, etc will set you back £2000-£2500.00.
In terms of engine build work, im booked for around 5-6 weeks, your next closes I would think is FB or TFS.
If you need any help in the mean time determining the problem, feel free to call.
Cheers
