After a long long wait finaly got her back 2 weeks ago! YAY... NOT

Drove it for 2 hours and lost oil pressure and started death rattling. Got it home as soon as i could and called MMS the next morning, They picked it up from home and pulled it down the same day confirming its the main bearing on conrod (2) i think melted away nothing of it was left! They got on to subaru and had them come over same day to veiw the block and the damage for warranty claims. Thank you for your srevice very happy!

SUBARU supplyed new short block, all the gaskets, oil pump, oil cooler! Its all back together in the engine should have it back when im back next weekend.

Thanks Tino,

Bad news clocked just over 300ks and its rattling again! Same problem over again.

Last motor clocked 90 and started death rattling.

Just a heads up to those that are purchasing 207 blocks be aware doggy blocks are around....
