no, bull****, there is no way you could have caused that. The dealership sound shady as hell. They have absolutely no say in what does or doesn't get repaired on big $$$ items anyway.
Anyway since when is the EJ255 a non-interference engine????

LOL - thanks for all the support. Part of the reason I got a Subaru was because I knew I would have a family who cared about the cars. I really do appreciate all the responses, I certainly don't feel alone.
I talked with my personal Subby expert, he recommended I buy a Gates Racing Belt (which I did) he's going to install it when he gets back from vacation, that should really help. He said if it's running fine that he probably wouldn't run a drip down or compression test. As far as service centers go, there's a dealer that's a little further away from me 35-40min that I hear does a better job. I might check them out next week and just introduce myself and the car, get an inspection and oil change or something. |

Its an ej257 and there is valve interference but from what I was told by a mechanic if the belt strips the valve train is designed to close the valves so they don't hit the pistons. Also not sure if the valves will close if the belt brakes or skips a few teeth.

Also, if it truely only jumped one tooth, that's like a fraction of an inch if that, this means that the timing in witch the valves opening and closing was only altered ever so slightly...chances are there was no further damage from this event...that would be my opinion with out looking for myself Last edited by Sneeky Pete; 03-28-2013 at 05:46 PM. |
