the problem with mine was piston number 3 had melted so i had my rods, crank, heads and bottom end all checked and machined if needed then did a complete bare block rebuild using the best components like acl race bearings advanced automotives piston rings as mentioned genuine subaru complete gasket set etc etc

it wasnt forged as my budget couldnt stretch to it (hence me also doing the build myself) but all parts were uprated or the best quality didnt do anything on the cheap or cut any corners not all from import car parts some were from advanced automotives and local car spares shops. also with the money i saved on not paying someone to do it i bought some nice little extras eg, uprated exhaust manifold, de cat up pipe, fuel pressure regulator, 13 row oil cooler, ally bigger radiator etc as well as learning a hell of a lot in the process! heres how it looks now

Did you have a manual to build it back up?
