Subaru Forester XS – Engine Rebuild Journey

This Forester came back to us after we did head gaskets last year. Unfortunately, the car ran bearings this time around, and given its history of overheating, we decided the best route was a complete new short block.

Here’s what went into the rebuild:
- Genuine Subaru short block sub-assembly
- New OEM oil pump
- New OEM head gaskets
- All OEM gaskets and seals replaced
- Fresh oil, spark plugs, oil filter, and air filter

We also tackled issues with the rocker shaft springs. To sort this out, we sourced replacement heads and used parts from those to repair the original heads.

The result? A refreshed, reliable engine built with OEM quality parts, ready to keep this Forester on the road for many more kilometers.
