MY99 Impreza turbo Cylinder Heads - LHC006 and RHC006
Hi everyone, i'm having a nightmare of a week.
First of all, one of the Camshaft bolts snapped on my N/S cylinder head, just behind the cam cover and started pouring oil out. Upon closer inspection it's snapped about 7 or 8mm into the aluminum head, there is no way i can get to it so i had to lift the engine out on Wednesday after work.
I took the cylinder head off as i didn't fancy drilling it out by hand, i then
turned it over to look at the valve faces to find 3 cracks/fractures from both spark plug hole's over to the exhaust valve seats.
I've taken the other one of this evening to find that one cracked too.
Has anyone got a couple of heads lying around, maybe on an engine with the bottom end gone or can point me in the right direction to locate some.
The casting codes are LHC006 and RHC006
Many thanks,
Kris.
