This is my Subaru Engine. The big end went about 2 months ago. It has taken me that long to get a garage and some tools together.

It took about 5 hours prep and 2 hours to get out. Now that I know what I am doing it would take even less. It is on a stand now and I am looking forward to stripping it.

I am going to take the manifolds off next, turbo then heads. I will post up more pics if people want while I break it down.

The plan is to change the block, if I can't get one I like I will just get engine minus heads then last choice a whole new engine. I would rather have a block so I know that its getting done right.

I will try and post up some better pics soon.

This is an sx forum. I can't see many people being that interested in a scooby engine removal. Especially as most of us feckin hate scooby's.:D

This is the Non 200sx related chat section:). There are other Scooby owners on here, they are possibly interested in what I say:) .

ps. I like s14's a lot and may still get one:sxoc: .

pmsl, that could be taken completely the wrong way VS, for the benefit of Chris the :D at the end means he's not serious :nod: :thumbs:

And none of us like Veilside kits anyway, so don't listen to what he says :D:D:D

I'm not that good for advice tbh but you can always ask me,if I don't know I will know someone who does :nod: ;)

Good luck with the big ends Chris. Take an extra good look to the crank while your at it :nod: Heard they can be faulty quick during big end failure.

And take your time doing it properly ;) Dont make it a quicky and be in the same position within a month or something :thumbs:

Strangely I can't really find any pics apart from this one. I think I must have taken them all with my 35mm camera. Its a Silver Classic Wagon and the S14 in the pic Melongs to ME54022.:)

Engine on stand.

I need 1 more more mounting bolt for the stand and will have to wait till I get it before I can start stripping it.

I have a stag weekend in Aberdeen on my next days off so I wont get any more done for about 2 weeks but I will post some more photos up then when I make progress.

After a few busy weekends I managed to get more work done on the engine. I took off the exhaust manifold, up-pipe, turbo, inlet manifold. If the weather is good tomorrow I will get the timing belt off and hopefully the heads, mind you thats only if Halfords sell a 14mm 12 sided socket:confused: .

Here is some photos.

Thats the piston that has the knackered bearing. When it's at the tdc you can push it back in 3-4mm.
