Bottom Ends

[ryan_gwa]

I have recently been given a 1993 WRX with a knackered bottom end.

Not had a chance to get the sump off and have a look, but has anyone managed to get away with replacing the shells?

If not, then would I be wise to replace the engine with a phase two? Obviously loom, intercooler, ecu etc aswell.

Cheers! Ryan

i managed to get away with just the shells as the was no marks on the crank been running for over a year now and still great oil pressure. If the shells are just down to the brass and the crank isn't marked or oval ed should all be hunky dory
