thanks for the info. Hopefully not a start of a big recall.

got almost 15k on mine and nothing yet, besides the dang chirping.

I'm no engineer...well not automotive, anyway. I think Humf nailed it! You obviously did not share this with Subaru or they would have likely congratulated you on creating a do it yourself detonating engine!

To be honest I completely forgot about the puddle until just now. I figured any water in the engine would cause it to seize up immediately if it didn't break the engine entirely.

Funniest shit I've read in a while. Fucking brilliant!

I don't think it hydolocked (water in the cylinder(s)).

I'm guessing that cold water against a hot block may have set itself up for cracking.

I agree. It is incredible how hot the engine blocks get on these things. I have a 2ZZ-GE in my Spyder and it gets nowhere near as hot as the F20A in my son's FR-S. And my engine is in the back and gets very little airflow over it.

I can see that big block of aluminum getting immersed in cold water and developing a crack.

Yea it's definitely a big hole once you are easily putting 3+ fingers in it

I would close this thread before the Subaru dealership starts digging around.

BRZPDX · 12-25-2013, 12:44 AM

or I can post some nudes on here and the mod will delete it immediately. They don't like boobs here.

In that case, honesty has earned you mad respect points.

Done

That was strange; but glad the Dealer did the right thing and your back up and running and hope this time is for good. Thanks for sharing your experience with us
