looks awsome and nice posts and weight loss! just for my own clarification is that 13lbs of actual weight shed or X number of lbs/oz with rotational forces added in. also could you expound on reversion? most port work ive seen matches the gaskets right up so the reasoning for the 1/8 lip intrests me. thanks
2000 ej25 rebuild in progress
Bought a 2000 Outback with a bad motor to use to teach my 16 year-old how to rebuild an engine.
Got the motor apart today, mostly (haven't split the block yet)...found pieces of inserts in the pan. Yep...that was definitely a rod knock

Cylinders appear to be ok. Can still see the hone marks.
Intake valve tips all have a weird little dimple in the center..never seen this before...

Exhaust valve tips looked normal...
Bought a UEL header on EBAY ($138)...fits very well...would have been nice if they had added just another 1/2" clearance around the front of the oil filter....so simple...no performance hit....DUHHHH!
Bought a Stage 1 clutch kit too...
Gotta say, been building engines since 1964...Subie engines are the weirdest combination of brilliant and stupid I think I've seen.
