Not yet. Compression was 120ish, 120ish, 70.... then they stopped testing it.
Block can be reused, I'm waiting to hear back on what needs to be replaced. Pistons, heads are likely. Initial labor cost is high so I'll probably spend the extra cash to upgrade to forged internals and build the engine up so this is less likely to happen again. I will most likely have them replace the injectors and do the dual fuel pump setup now, as opposed to later.
I may have the chance to increase the displacement of the engine as well which I will do if it isn't cost prohibitive. I was planning on paying off some of the STi's loan with the money from the WRX sale, it looks like now I'll be using some of it to fix the STi.
