That's quite a bit! But I guess if you're doing it right it's going to cost some good coin!

Engine is now back in

New timing belt/waterpump/idlers
Recon heads
New gaskets all round

Need to make up a custom exhaust, but shes running now

Sounds/looks 10x better than before.

Took it for a quick test drive and drove pretty well.

So todo list is now:

Custom intake piping
Custom exhaust
Replace front bar with something else
KYB All round suspension + springs ( for outback )
Get water to air intercooler working
(prob more stuff )

Shes getting close to going for some offroad action

Well quick update....

Turns out piston 3 was fcked

Anyway....long story short, went out and bought a 96 jdm engine.
Engines in, compression all good, runs good, just gota slap the new low Ks td04 i got on, then it will turn into my daily.

Once im confident its running good, ill be doing the offroad mods.

Oil all up in there!, and i picked up on it because it was running rough.

Compression was lowish aswell.

Was thinking of rebuilding it, but i will rebuild the engine at some stage, i got another shell to put it in.

How did it happen? My fault for buying a Fcked engine lol....
