hi all my spare engine is in need of a crank which i am trying to source, but with out taking it apart how would i know if its a center or rear thrust bearing. the engine came out of my sti iv 1998

thanks for the friendly replys ,i made a start on taking the engine out tonight , within an hour everything was disconected im suprised how easy these engines are to work on. all thats left is the bolts holding it to the gear box and the engine mounts. i do have a few questions though. 1: the hex bolt do i remove and insert a bolt of some kind???? 2:i plan on swapping the inlet onto the new engine out of the car is this the best way to do it? every thing else seems straight forward. im hoping to crack on again sunday and with any luck have the new engine in and running!! wish me luck. o one more thing my scoob has an IHI turbo vf34 is this standard as it looks prety big.

hi all my names john im from plymouth devon and i have just baught my first ever scooby. shes a 1998 version 4 wrx sti it does need some tlc the first big job is to take out the broken engine and fit the new one. i will take some photos as soon as my camera is charged as im sure you all will ask.
