Got everything pulled off to do a leak down test last week and I cant get a wrench in there to turn the crank to get it to TDC. The pulley has 4 holes in it, so I am just gonna fab a wrench with a flat piece of steel and a couple of bolts to turn the pulley. Still looking for time to do this and the generosity of my inlaws and letting us borrow their unused car may be running out soon.
Regardless of what the tests show, I think I am just gonna put it back to as close to stock as possible. Even if it comes back with good numbers I am just playing with fire, and if it doesn't come back with good numbers, it is going back to stock anyway and Carmax will soon get a visit, assuming it doesn't smoke otw there.
So FS add with parts will soon be posted, spread the word if you know anyone looking for OEM STi or high quality aftermarket FXT,STi,WRX parts.
