HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

:wav:

the arp 625+ headstuds are quite expensive$$. Perhaps i needed these installed in the ej205 and if wouldn't of died on the dyno today.

Why did it seize?

Not sure why, just died after couple power runs while idling. Oil has small metal partials and engine seized now.

Probably mechanical failure inside engine. bearings.

Looking forward, i've always wanted ej207.

Mao ?

No it wasn't Mao.

I'm doing same build now on my 99 Sti. Fucked last engine and re using my heads.

Bought EJ207 semi closed deck from rising Sun Subaru $2300 delivered.

RCM 11mm Oil pump, cosworth timing belt kit, RCM baffled oil sump and RCM catch can,RCM head gaskets $3500 delivered. (Roger Clark motorsports UK)

New oil cooler from subaru $400 I think

Sent out heads to be serviced and whatever else they do $600

Buying cams and springs now but only cause I found a cam slightly cracked during build last week.

And about $1000 from local Subaru for gaskets and seals and brackets I needed and what not.

Hope this helps for your next build! Just make sure change as much as you can for oil system or thoroughly clean parts. 100% change oil pump and cooler.
