Recommended Piston slap repairer for my UK MY98
 

Hi All

Got some serious problems with piston slap in my UK MY98 (running +300BHP). Car has done 67K and has been smoking on start up for approx 4 months, once warm the smoke disappears. I have once seen the knocklink flash right up into the red on gentle throttle in low gears so oil is mixing with fuel. Got her checked out and cylinder 4 is contaminated with oil thus bringing the octane right down.

So I have had a quick look on the net and emailed the following

API
Full engine rebuild good for 330BHP guaranteed no more piston slap £2K plus VAT

Central Subaru
Piston slap repair £650 plus VAT
Full engine rebuild £1700 plus VAT


So can anyone else recommend any other places that can repair my engine or have dealt with the Central Subaru.

Cheers

Neal

I have dealt with central subaru and cannot recommend them.

Scoobyclinic, tsl, roger clarke, hdcsubaru to name a few.

There is NO alternative - you know that,

Didnt take you long to reply David, cant be that busy ;)

I will pop in on Friday for a chat, just looking at my alternatives as the mrs is holding the purse strings atm :(.

Neal :)

You mean she doesn't ALWAYS?
If not you are a lucky man.

API did my Sti v3 head gaskets.
The car is raced hard, makes 407 bhp at 1.4 bar boost and is perfect.

Just go to API and sleep easy.

If she loves you she will let you....

Graham :D

Another vouch for API.

They did all my rebuild work not long ago. Top blokes, excellent service :)
