Found some interesting stuff (opened my block)
The good news:
piston squirters are all still in.
pretty good shape for 200+k
The bad news:
#4 piston in bad shape
#4 cylinder in bad shape
and the worst is the thrust bearing is completely destroyed

I havn't decided yet, either cobb or crawford piston ones.
I just talked to http://www.ccrengines.com/ and they said that the reason the bearing was chewed up so bad was the fsm has a wrong torque spec for the crank pulley bolt. The fsm says 76lb/ft and they say 125lb/ft.
Anybody else ever heard of this?

Yeah, that problem has been discussed on this board before. A few people had the crank pulley come loose a little bit and chew up the key. But no one's actually taken apart the engine and noticed internal bearing damage because of this.
It makes sense, tho. Without the dampener properly fitted to the crank, there will be excessive force on the crankshaft bearings.

Damn, maybe that's the cause of my failure. I did notice a wierd noise a couple nights after i finished the headgaskets but thought nothing of it because it only lasted a minute or so.

Get the Cobb bearings. Sorry to see it in such bad shape. Hopefully it isn't so far gone that you can't hone it out without overboring...

Maybe try a marine place. They have to do all kinds of engines.

I finally found a place that can do it but, I also found out that there are no oversized pistons available from subaru.
this post talks about it http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=20735
There is a chance that I can hone the cylinders and take out the scuffing. If that works I can use a stock size piston.
I'm going to take some measurements tonight and hone the bore to see if its worth moving forword.

IIRC a set of custom forged piston are actually going to run you about the same price as new OEM ones. Food for thought.

I replyed to the other post
135$USD is what i paid for the custom pistons, including pins, locks, rings.
be sure to mesure your worst cylinder before ordering your custom oversized pistons! And verify with your machineshop what oversize they prefer work with. (.20mm, .25mm.. )
