Thought i'd start a thread of my build....

Unfortunately late July early August i was one of the victims of the notorious 2008-2010 ringland failures.....so i cracked #4 ringland and spun #3.....

I spun #3 bad enough for it to slightly weld itself to the crank, which destroyed my crank.....

i'll post some more pics of the parts as they come in.....but here are some of the pics after removing the motor in the garage......

Pics taken couple of weeks before the rod knock.....

Before......




this is after......(sorry for the crappy camera phone pics)






some vinyl i threw on as she sits motorless....(WARNING:maybe not be to everyones taste) lol

Here are some pics of the damage......

#3 rod bearing....


#4 Piston.....the ringland had a hairline crack when it was taken out, so luckily it didnt break apart to scar up the cylinder walls.....but with a bit of pressure from a screw driver the ringland fell apart......


the destroyed crank.....

here is where the bearing spun.....



and here are some of the parts that have came in last week.....
Nitrite treated crank


Bearings and Oil Baffle


Full Subaru Gasket



Previously installed parts......
Titek Stainless UEL headers wrapped w/ DEI header wrap


Invidia Catless Downpipe tapped for Innovate wideband


AEM CAI Intake


and the empty engine bay, i did do a little cleaning and little bit of a wire tuck to get it ready before the engine goes back in......


interior.....


and some new rubber 255/35/18 w/ 0miles......


so by next week the pistons and rods will be coming in so im able to take to the machinist......and w/ fingers crossed the motor should be back in 2 week......thanks for reading guys.....
