Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras - View Single Post - Okay, now what? (sperry's motor tear-down thread)

I wasn't posting pictures of the turbo other than to illustrate the junk the motor ingested. I guess I could have just as easily posted the video of your car throwing the dirt at me.

$2500 should be for a brand new block, with new forged pistons, but no bearings.

If light honing is enough to clear up the scoring in the cylinders then that would be cheaper, my concern is whether or not that would be enough. I guess the only way to find out is to bring it to a machine shop. Same goes with the crank.

All that machine work adds up, plus the cost of assembly. Eventually it's cheaper just to get an assembled brand new shortblock.
