Ive just transplanted my closed deck out of the wrx into a forester for transport reasons,
started up fine 1st time but now I can hear a little knock so am thinking of putting it up for sale. The engines not been thrashed or anything along them lines its my pride and joy (I forgot to tighten the turbo oil feed pipe lost pressure (yes am a clown **** happens) so me thinks I did the damage as motor was ok when tried a year and half ago. motor has not been drove as I didn't want to put any more strain on the engine causing more damage,
Replace the crank and shells it will make a brilliant motor
Engine can be herd running the knockings not bad at all goes away at 2 thou revs.

The price I know theses things go for £300 with bad bores this Eva wants shells or crank. skimmed heads (wrx) all valves was re-cut and ground in All new valve seals. so am going to put £500 open to offers

 

once its pulled apart it will need new head gaskets again anyway. Best of luck with sale...

 

Prices of these are getting silly.

True but heads wont need skimming
