We use Redline Assembly Lubricant on all of our builds. If you can't find it local to you, give us a call. We get some over your way. Thanks for watching!
There are specific part numbers for different engines. What year and model is your engine that is being rebuild? If you need oversized bearings, your machinist will let you know how much material they had to remove from the crank in both the main and rod positions.
I am doing my own build but want to research the parts first... I have heard that the stock Subaru rods are good quality but the pistons are cast and they should absolutely be replaced, what about rings and bearings? I don't want to bore over the block or get some crazy piston over sizes.... what do you all recommend as a build to put out 300+ safely and with long life that will not break the bank?
Our stage 2 block is a good option for what you are describing. It will be able to hold 300 CHP - 400 CHP with no issues as long as your tune and modifications are done professionally. Check out our website for more information. www.nwrallysports.com
What size of rod bearing did you use? And did you use a brand new forge crankshaft? What's the measurements of the journals on the forge crankshaft? Thanks

when you installed the oil pump. what did you use. ? did you just clean it. and put the oil pump directly against the block?
We installed all components with Fuji Bond OEM sealant.
Northwest Rally Sports thanks
What did you put on the bearings?

Thanks
Standard size King, Racing Series bearings were used with a new OEM 2011+ heat treated STi crankshaft.
not needing to check bearing clearences?
Everything was checked prior to assembly to facilitate the production of this video.
no sealant for the case halves??
Would've been cooler if you did an instructional video and not this fast fwd type video.
We are actually in the process of working on a new how-to video series. Stay tuned!
video is too fast to see anything
Thanks for the recommendation.
What did you put on the bearings?
