It looks as if the hydraulic lifters have pumped up you will have to compress them in a vice or press to sqeeze the oil out

 

Thank you Graham i will try that tomorrow...

 

do i need to take these out ? http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/...991/inside.jpg

 

how do i take the lifters out ???

 

Sorry mate im not being rude or unhelpful but i think you should take your car to someone who knows how to deal with Subaru engines, you will have a better car to drive without the fear of something going wrong every time you put your foot down, the way you are going will end up costing you a lot more.

 

yer cheers mate but i anit paying to get my heads rebuilt ect cost to much and i can buy a how engine of ebay for that price, and also i dont have the money and im a mechanic anyway thats why im doing it all my self but i havent done head rebuilds ect but ive got a mate from round corner from me coming today to have a look as he knows what his doing..

 

Don't take my comments in the wrong way, i am not trying to be a d!ck just thought would have been a better options but i understand, money is the issue to most of us, good luck hope you get it sorted mate.

 

+1 for that. I did my own heads on sti type r and after building i could never trust it again (Even tho i know i did it right) If you get someone else to do it you can relax and have some sort of warranty. The thought of removing engine etc 10 miles later put me off lol. Use lots of sealent on them rocker gaskets
