Engine stuck - Sounds broke - engine rebuild

I'm hoping it is not further in the block than a piston.

 

Off with heads, see if you find anything. If not, pull the barrels off the pistons and you can see just about everything. Leave the distributor in place.

 

I have taken the tinware around the fan housing off, I need to remove the oil filler top part, cars off and then I think it's good to come out.

 

You have no option but to crack on until you find the cause. Then that you can chuck it and get a Subaru.

 

i remember.

 

I've got a buyer for the t4 engine so I will have to fix it anyway. I am interested in subaru. It doesn't look as hard as I expected, in theory

 

This was a good idea tho @zedders mad to think that's over 2 years ago

 

Just take the head of on
The suspect side

 

Which side is suspect? I have no idea.

 

Wasn't it 1 and 3 side that was suspect?

 

That is both sides

 

Oh yeah, doh

 

Pop some cable ties though the rocket arm assembly mounting post holes when you take em off ... save having to google photos of how they go back together later...
