The motor was just replaced but from what I understand the oil plug came out and it ran without oil. I think there's something broken in the motor. He says it starts up but it rattles. I haven't seen it yet. I don't want to spend a fortune on this thing but if anyone knows subaru's and wants to check it out let me know. It's going to be in Danville but I could tow it. Thanks! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>turbo50</b> <br /><small>Member # 6700</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,10,26,11,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Ive done a coupld of headgaskets on these 2.5s and they are a pain.<br /><br />Subaru motors are not cheap, by the way.<br /><br />If it was ran out of oil and the car is not very very clean or has low miles then I would not bother with it.<br /><br />I can tell you that there is plenty of demand for them on craigslist. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>kingmoochr</b> <br /><small>Member # 5834</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,10,26,23,25,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> the rattling is most likely a rod slamming against the crank because the ebaring is toast. unless youve got some money to put in it, pass <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
