Lost a crank bearing on the Subaru monday on the way to work. Seizing the moment, I ordered a built block from dallas with forged pistons, rods, crank, and race bearings. This one's supposed to handle about 550hp. Driving up there tomorrow morning to get the short block and bring it back to my dealer. Should be good to go by early next week.

In jeep news: the hellas are all good to go and super bright. Love em.

In Old truck news, been driving it in place of the subaru to work. Figured I'd take a few random videos. Here ya go:

What tranny are you using with your Forester? Stock still? Looks like an awesome sleeper!

[superacerc]

4eat stock auto tranny. Im sure thatll be the next item to be replaced with a built version. The subaru auto is pretty stout (knock on wood) and the turbo ive got brings power in at such a late point it never shocks the drivetrain. Ill ne hanging around 410 to the wheels on this turbo.

So are you running that weight of oil the whole time or just for break in?

[criket]

since it's high in Zinc, it should just be for break in.

[superacerc]

The performance shop actually said to break it in for 500 miles with non synthetic 5w30 then switch to that amsoil or rotella t6 which has more zinc as well. For whatever reason the high zinc is preferred by most high performance subaru tuners. No idea why though.

this is what I always thought, that's why I was confused when you were running 10/40 syn out the gate

Nope not running it to start with. I was just showing the normal recommended oil after break in.
