It's not a warped cam. The center cam journal, where something was dropped on it, has a slight lip that's folded over and won't allow the cam to go all the way into the head on that journal

Paul, have you never heard of a shop giving a guy a break if he is willing to wait until they have a near identical job? My point is if a place line hones one engine the cost is higher, for people willing to wait until they already have to set it up for another project it is not unheard of to have the cost be less seeing the time involved.

02wrxej208, how far is the closest quality machine shop? or even a good Subaru shop? Getting a set of eyes on it and the ability to take a truly close look will help a lot more then any of us can.

I had a few local people look at it, said it should be fine as long as I made it PERFECTY smooth. Started sanding the burs down, ended in like a 1200 grit or something, cam seats just fine now. The CLOSEST Subaru machine shops are like 8 hrs north or south. Pensacola Florida is a dead zone for shops.

One of my cam cap bolts was rounded off(not from me) and my local dealership basically told me to go away... They're ********. I found a bolt that would fit but my friends said it could put an un-even load on the cam, so I ordered some from out front motor sports.

Now onto progress! Realized I needed to replace my rear timing covers when I took them off the shelf today, trying to find a set. After that I'll have my cap bolt and I can finish setting timing.

All my misc parts are on, alt/ps pump, ect.

The plug on the bottom of my block to run the plug for an oem oil cooler set up stripped so I bought an external set up. Cxracing core with aviation grade lines, I think they're -6an.

The oil feed line on my drivers side head where the oil feed for the second turbo was, I have been turning Pensacola over looking for a bolt that will plug it. I have found a few 12x1.25's but the threads are too corse/large and it won't go in without hurting the threads. And the banjo bolt that was in there is too long if I don't use the oil line. So I need to find something that will fit

Also too do: bleed the new brakes, attach my 06 bumper that is just sitting on the car(does anyone have a how-to , on how to attach it too an 02 rear end?) make a wiring harness for my e-cut out, pressure wash my engine bay, get some one step colder copper plugs and I think that's it...

Worst case you can attach an AN line with the 12mm banjo, then cap the end of the AN line. Kinda hokey, but it'll work and the hardware is stuff that's easy to find (crush washers and AN line + AN --> 12mm banjo adapter)

Alright guys motor is coming along awesome. My friends appendix burst so he's in the hospital but when he gets out I can pick my TGV's up from him. Everything else is pretty much on minus setting timing, was gonna do that today but got distracted fixing other odds and ends. Now for my question:

That bolt on the bottom of my block that coolant runs into started to strip. Since this is like a 95 block ad didnt come with an oil cooler I bought the full oem set up but because of that bolt/plug I bought an external oil cooler kit off a guy on here with a beast car cause he upgraded. It's a cx racing core/adapter but he swapped their crap lines with aviation grade lines, I can't run the adapter without the stock oil cooler on the block so what I have right now is:

Oem oil cooler with the coolant lines capped off, then a cap on the water pump feed, then the cxracing plate. Will the oem oil cooler be fine if the water passages don't have anything flowing thru them? And will just a plain rubber cap+ a hose clamp stop water from pouring out of the water pump nozzle or will the coolant and stuff eat that cap away? I'll try to post some pics when it's not dark out

I would . . . you did a lot to let one stripped bolt stop ya . Everyone has their opinion but I like having the water and oil help keep everything at a the same temp.

Ej208's didn't come from factory with an oil cooler and alot of people delete them anyways. I figure not running the coolant will help my oil warm up a bit quicker and the external keep it at a good temp while driving. Also I cannot find the correct size Allen wrench to fit it anywhere locally. No where locally sells anything above a 12mm and I haven't ordered one. I've looked at every auto/hardware store here haha. I found a t70 at advanced auto and that's what started to strip it.

I am removing my 2002 wrx shortly.
Do you need photos of the vacuum lines and coolant?
I have a bunch of photos if you tell me what area of the engine you need.
The engine is still attached to the trans in the car but mostly ready to be pulled any warm day now.

I might be able to help.

so after a lot of looking at the online manuals I am still a bit lost with the last bit of the pvc/intake manifold lines. I know I delete a few of them with the ap fuel rails but I am still a bit lost

Edit:also the purse valve/solenoid lines

vac line = FPR manifold pressure reference line

straight fitting --> bottom of purge diaphragm (round device, one line to the inlet, one to the solenoid, one to the straight fitting on the left in your picture)

limp dick fitting --> to the purge solenoid

coolant lines? I don't remember which is in and out, the stock lines will only go one orientation comfortably.

The other one off the "crankcase chimney" goes to the inlet. It has a very tight bend that will kink most hoses that aren't pre-formed. You almost need this one to be OEM preformed.

Here's how I have it run : straight ITM fitting to purge valve, arrow facing turbo inlet, line from valve to nipple on turbo inlet, the other side going to the blue 3 split, one going to the solenoid, the other side of the splitter going to my fuel evap line. The solenoid is plugged in, the bottom line going to the purge valve and the top line going to the limp dick line on the ITM. Sound right???

Now I am confused about where the coolant return line on the throttle body goes and the vacuum line on the bottom of the ITM by the throttle body. Also the hard line on the crossover pipe that goes over the clutch has a side nipple running off it. Not sure where it goes. I'll post pics

Edit: and for my pcv: I have 2 pcv hoses from each valve cover running to a splitter that goes into the turbo inlet and then the pcv chimney, one piece running to the pcv valve and the other with a line straight to a nipple on the turbo inlet, sound right??

It runs to that water line that in just below it and towards the driver side a bit (the small nipple facing vertically).

I just figured it out, I'm assuming the previous owner did the coolant bypass mod that's why I was missing the hoses and didnt remember where they went. Ima leave it how it is, the line I have left runs from the black vertical facing line to the one in the center of the pic

This should help:


Found via google image search of "wrx throttle body"

Those black hard lines on top are the "tee" for the head breathers.
the 01+ STi and 06+ WRX also have a 2nd port on the heads that got to a tee that goes to the crankcase. This is the "balancing port" to balance pressure between the 2 heads and the crankcase.

slave doesn't have the nipple at the highest point. Unbolt the slave and have someone hold the slave up so the nipple is the highest point when the nipple's open. Then do the open, down, close up dance for a while, that should get the air out.
