Thanks for the video....a lot of great information. I see you work at an independent scoobie shop, have you seen many 09 STi's with broken piston lands?
I completely agree. Those bearings definitely won't last for more than one timing belt, all of mine were shot when I did my motor, along with the water pump. I learned the water pump should always be replaced the hard way unfortunately, but I won't make that mistake again. Spend the extra money and do it properly, then you won't have to end up doing it again.
my idler pulleys were not change when my timing belt was replace and all of the work was done by subaru, so can you tell me why they decided to cause me problems at a later date?
p.s. my idlers went and just about blew my engine.
