I'm sure the break in procedure was not followed correctly.

@southernclassik I'm sure you're wrong

[cchili]

So basically you ruined a brand new car?....I hate seeing cool cars owned by assholes!

[m00shu316]

[chapinfarmers]

my car got towed yesterday for the same noise mine turned off on me tho!! im scared subarus warranty wont cover it!! what they do to yours to fix?

[Tglennon80]

free transformation to a diesel....CONGRATULATIONSSSS LOL...

[ClutchCoin]

possible causes:

lightened crank pulley

reused crank shaft and not rebalanced

lightened flywheel and not resurfaced or rebalanced

lastly a loose nut behind the wheel that dumps the clutch at redline

(when you shift let the clutch burn a tad bit so you dont have the car jerk back and forth)

[ClutchCoin]

very unlikely that your bearings are spun. sounds like a bad end play bearing which could lead to oil pressure loss at op temp then possibly kill your bearings

@southernclassik the reality is the ej25 on north american gas and it's tiny fucking clearance is a recipe for breakage. .003mm to out on the piston clearances, it's little wonder the emission laws are making these things drop like flies.
