The Work Begins....

Well, as some of you may know, my wrx went pop a month or so ago, been advised by garage to get a new engine.

however,

I took it upon myself (along with the help of a trusty m8) to do a little digging into my problem

We have removed most of the auxiliaries and are down to the head. from when we can see via the sump and lookin down through the inlet areas, there doesnt seem to be much damage at all, there was little to no mess in the sump when it came off, very odd again considering the car popped, stopped and wouldnt start again.

So basically we gonna take the heads off and have a look and see, im hopin for something simple and reasonable priced to fix. and by the by, hop annoying is it getting the sump off when u got a aftermarket exhaust manifold, bloody thing took us about 2 hours to get the bloody thing off

ah well,

will certainly keep u all updates and if we hit any bumps, be sure that you will be gettin asked
