Started tearing into the boat anchor EJ22 (Large pictures)

Post by 92wagon »

I tore this out of my non turbo 94 Legacy in October of 2011. I overheated it at least 4/5 times myself.. I have no idea how many times it has been overheated before me. It had 173K at the time of pull.


I've finally got around to messing with it.


Here are the results of tearing into it. .. .

[WARNING]
It's a bit skankified.

Really?! That's good! Should I take the block and heads to a machine shop to be tested??

If you're planning to rebuild it, yeah I would have them look it over. The heads will probably need a valve job and to be resurfaced. The deck on the block will likely need to be resurfaced as well.
