The crank seals look identical to the OEM ones... the cam seals I'm using are in fact OEM seals, since I'm just reusing the ones that were in there (they had <1000 miles on 'em).
If the piston rings are screwed up, well they'll just have to work something out with me on the repair. I'm not pulling the pistons out to check 'em. I would hope that when you source some JE rings for JE pistons, it's hard to get them installed wrong.
Plus, there's only one guy over there (Robert) doing the Subaru motors, and he seems like he's on top of his game IMO... I don't think they pass along Subaru work like that to their rookies that might make basic errors like getting the ring order wrong.
Either way, we'll find out soon enough how this motor runs. I'm far more worried about my own assembly mistakes than AIMS.
