Exciting to see the project come together. It is giving me the confidence that I might be able to attempt this one day... nice work!

hey bud what colour is the motor?

[@RealSideQuest]

Not sure about the color because I got the cans from the paint supplier as “mismatched.” Can says “327.” - not sure if that means anything

[@mattluszczak8095]

you should of used the multishimed head gasket

[@RealSideQuest]

On Subaru’s I’ve always had better luck with MLS. I know it’s different, but we’ll see. Almost done.

[@mattluszczak8095]

@vM0de yeah it was the solution to cast iron block and an aluminium head. Are you running standard fuelling or tunned with morebboost? Vnt turbo?

[@RealSideQuest]

@@mattluszczak8095 I'm using the original style turbo system. I have an exhaust manifold that can house a VNT, but while I was getting stuff ready time ran out and I set it aside to just stick with the tried and true. I have added a temp sensor and boost sensor.
