That's odd, the other folks that have had subi motors built there have been fine. AIMS honed the cylinders, replaced the piston rings, polished the crank, and assembled the shortblock. All the rest of the work is my own to screw up.

And as far as seals, I doubt the a rubber o-ring from one kit is much different from the ones Subaru uses. I pulled the oil pan today and ditched the cork gasket and went w/ strait permatex, so that's been cleared up. What else is there to be worried about on my build so far?
