Well, the block, crank, rods and pistons are dropped off at AIMS. When one of the machinists gets a chance to look at it, they'll give me a call and let me know what's repairable.

The good news is they've been doing a lot of Subaru work lately, so this shouldn't be a job out of left-field for them. Though the service writer had a hard time understanding me when I was telling him the block was already bored to 100mm.

"The cylinders are already at 100mm, so I don't think they can be bored further."
"They're 1mm over?"
"No they're at 100mm."
"No, people usually say they're 1mm over, or 040."
"Uh, no, the diameter of the pistons is 100mm, i.e. 10cm."

I wish I remember the stock bore (99.5mm apparently) so I could have told him they're .020 over.
