Why did subaru not keep making the CDB????
As above, why were they only put in the early RA's????
Obviously you only need a cdb if your running big power and boost to stop the bore "walking" and is only overkill to use them on a standard car, but they are still the more superior block over the odb.
Was this due to cost?
or do the odb have advantages over the cdb when running standard power?
just a question i always wanted answering
cheers

i assume it was only down to cost and as far as i am aware they were not only fitted to the ra's but other models aswell

Cynical bunch...
It's all to do with competition car homologation rules, which used to require the production car to have the goodies fitted from the factory.
Now of course you can by a Focus with a 2 litre turbo & 4WD transmission from a dealer... NOT !
All IMHO.

Where abouts are the hatching marks to tell if it's a closed deck or an open deck block.
Apologies for being a dummy just trying to learn more about the Flat Four.
