Looking for help assembling my new block
Hello,
I am almost done collecting the necessary parts to rebuild my engine for my 2012 WRX 5 door. In a nutshell I drove it into Pence with a knock between 2-3k RPMS with 27k miles on the odometer. Once the tore down was complete there was a hole in the block the size of the grapefruit (?). I was denied a warranty by SOA but alas that was last year and I can see light at the end of the tunnel. This is what I have so far: EJ257 Short block -Wiseco 99.75mm pistons -ACL race bearings (standard) -Machining performed by C & T Machine in Orem UT. Block assembled by Underground Performance in Orem Utah. -ARP head studs -2007 STI (V25B) cylinder heads. -Grimmspeed light weight crank pulley. -OEM gasket kit. -Killer B oil pan -Killer B oil baffle -Killer B oil pickup -Orbit Oil Pump ( soon to be swapped out for an OEM) - Gates timing and accessory belt kit. - STI Group N engine mounts - Exedy Organic stage 1 clutch kit. -Grimmspeed battery tie down -Grimmspeed master cylinder brace - Invidia divorced catted down pipe coated in swaintech -Invidia Q300 cat-back exhaust -Cobb V2 Accessport These are mods I have already done: -Group N transmission mount -Whiteline crossmember bushings -Whiteline steering rack bushings -Whiteline Front and rear 24mm sway bars -Kartboy short throw shifter and bushings. -Kartboy front and rear end-links -Kartboy pitch-stop mount -AEM A/F ratio wide-band gauge. I have the stock turbo, intercooler, intake manifold, injectors, rails, etcetera. I am thinking about purchasing: -Tomei UEL Expreme Headers. -Cobb SF intake with box -Perrin turbo-inlet I still need to buy an OEM oil cooler and a Coolant cross-pipe; the stock was destroyed by the rod. My roommate has done extensive work on motors but never a boxer engine. We have all the tools necessary to do the work, including an engine hoist and stand. I have plenty of beer.

Picking up the newly resurfaced heads and fly wheel. Oil cooler is on order; starting to get anxious.
