2007 LEGACY GT PROJECT 18. Remove the smog pump components. There are solenoids and tubing on both sides of the engine. Take a few snapshots so you can remember where things go and how they are routed. 19. Remove the bung for the oil cooler (you will need it again) and unscrew the oil pan. 20. Remove the oil pan. This can take some doing as it is bonded to the engine with Fuji Bond. A paint scraper and a hammer will help separate the pan from the engine; just don’t ding the block. 21. The windage tray and oil pickup tube. Remove both of these and set them aside. Note: If you intend to reuse this case or have to split it, there is a 10mm stud underneath the tray that will need to be removed. 22. Unbolt the valve covers and set them aside. 23. This is what the inside of your engine looks like if you don’t change your oil frequently or use inferior-grade oil. Project LGT made two trips back-and-forth, Seattle to Las Vegas, in the span of 4 weeks without an oil change. 24. Unbolt the cam cradles and remove the cams. Note: The cradles and cam caps are line-bored and must be put back in the same place you removed them from; otherwise they will not line up with the cams properly and will either fail or eat into your cams. 25. Un-torque the cylinder heads: This is done in reverse order of the torque sequence: Start in the top right corner, then go to the bottom left, bottom right, top left, bottom middle, and then top middle. Do this in two stages: Relieve the torque about half way ﬁrst, then completely in the same sequence. Note: The cam buckets must be kept in order. If these are rearranged at all, your cams will be out of adjustment, don’t mix these up. Marking them with a sharpie is a good idea since they will have to come out. 26. Light scoring on the top of this cylinder wall is a good indicator of a cracked ring land. 27. “CC’ing” your heads. To make sure that your pistons and heads will combine to make the proper compression ratio, you must determine the volume of your heads. Go to www.subiesport. com for an instructional video on how to CC your heads. 28. The parts washer. All parts that are to be reused must be washed. The ﬁrst step is to run them through a solvent tank. If you don’t have one, a basin and a good solvent with a plastic brush will do. 29. Clean vs. Dirty. You want to make sure that your new engine is as free of old oil and contaminants as possible. When you are done with the solvent tank, spray everything out with brake cleaner to get rid of the solvent, then blast all parts with compressed air to make sure nothing is left behind. Solvents and cleaners can dissolve oil inside the engine and that would be bad. 56 JULY 2008 http://www.subiesport.com http://www.subiesport.com
