Hi phizzle,
Has excellent service history, I am mates with the previous owner. The 2.5 short block was first installed with factory internals. Did not last long, broken ring land
So the current setup is actually the second build.
Parts from the build list:
CP forged pistons
Eagle forged connecting rods
ARP Head Studs
Looks like the original crank was reused. This was a US STI 2.5 short block so not sure what the specs are.
