Subiesport Magazine - June/July 2008 - (Page 54) 2007 LEGACY GT PROJECT Rebuilding the LGT: Better, Faster, Stronger. 0. The reason for our engine teardown: The ring lands have cracked. This condition results in low compression and excessive blow-by. If left unchecked, the piston can completely break apart and cause catastrophic failure. 1. To begin, get the car in the air and undo the motor-mount nuts. There is one on either side of the car. 2. Drain your oil. This will make life easier down the road as you pull the engine apart. 3. While the car is in the air, undo the front oxygen sensor and unhook the ground straps. There is one on either side of the engine. 4. Drain the coolant and remove the radiator. Since the engine will have to come forward in the engine bay, taking the radiator out gives you more clearance. 5. Remove the alternator, A/C compressor and power steering pump. Don’t disconnect the lines for the A/C or power steering; just move these off to the side so you don’t have to refill the PS or recharge the A/C. 6. Unhook the top “dog bone” mount for the transmission. To ease engine removal, jack the transmission up a few inches so that you can get the engine free of the cross member and the dowels in the bottom of the bell housing. 7. Unbolt the downpipe. The turbo can stay with the engine. 8. Unhook the fuel lines. This requires a special tool, but you can get it with a screwdriver if you are tenacious. 9. Remove the downpipe. 10. Remove these lower nuts on the bell housing while the car is in the air. There is one on either side of the transmission. 11. Undo the lower alternator bolt. This is also a bell-housing bolt that holds the engine to the transmission. 54 JULY 2008
