new engine or rebuild
Hi all,
Just been told I have no compression on a cylinder...No.2...seems like the fav one!
Have contacted lots of people in my search and everyone tells me No.2 cylinder is the one that always goes....is this a subaru engine fault or what???
I have a '99 classic by the way.
Should I go for a rebuild....be much cheaper.....or should I go for an engine.It would probably be a jap import?
Thanks guys,
paul

Depends on how much you want to spend, what you intend to do with car etc...
You could do a lot worse than speak to David at APi who can take you through the options open to you. Nice bloke and offers No BS, obligation free advice.
Say Ns04 says hi!
DAZ1121: A well looked after std classic should sail past 100k without issue. Properly modified ones, and the key word is "properly", should also go past 100k without complaint. There are no "timebombs" in these cars that invariably mean a broken engine at x miles. The one weakness in the 99/00 series is in the MAF sensor, which if left unchecked can cost you an engine, but a failing one is usually easy to spot. It's all about how well you drive and look after them. Like all cars you do get the occassional bad apple that lets go early, but mostly, they're tough engines!
