Rebuild help !
Hi,
Having had my MY97 Type R for a couple of months it would seem that the due to the close ratio 'box the engine didnt like 7.5K rpm @ 150mph and has developed a bottom end rattle :( Luckily as I have a friend who works in a motor factors and has already rebuilt both my MR2 turbo and RX7 engines its not the horrendous calimity facing most people having to pay massive labour bills for this kind of thing. BUT when he checks his listings for gasket sets (im doing a full rebuild while its out) it only lists normal early Impreza gasket sets, nothing different for the STI lump even though Ive seen on ebay people listing sets for specific V3 and 4 STI engines. Now does anyone know if there is a difference or wether they are just a standard early impreza set ? Personally I wouldn't see there being a difference for just gaskets as as far as Im aware theres nothing on the STI that makes its extra power through anything gasket related but Im no expert and thats why Im here ! :) Any help would be much appreciated, plus any advice I should know about rebuilds from anyone else who's done one. Cheers guys ! |

Thanks for your advice mate, much appreciated.
Can anyone confirm that this is true and the gasket sets will be the same for STI's ? |
