Did the dealer mention if there is a "break in" period with the new spring valves?

Mine didn't.

I will find out this weekend with some autocross.

They told me the break in required is about 150 miles.


I had a track day at Thunderhill the next day after I got my car back which is about 180 miles from where I live. I decided not to go, though, since my car had just been so majorly disassembled. Thought I'd play it safe for a little while and make sure things were copacetic.

Besides the valve springs, does anyone have a list of what maintenance parts they had the dealer do while the engine was dropped?

.

The recall procedure actually includes quite a few maintenance items in addition to the valve springs.



Valve cover gaskets
DFI pump hard line
Exh manifold to head nuts
Cowl brace bolts/nuts(for some inexplicable reason)

Spark plug tube gaskets
Crank shaft oil seal
Exh manifold to head gaskets
Oil drain plug gasket
Crank shaft pulley o-ring

Timing cover o-rings
Dipstick o-ring
Chain tensioner o-ring
DFI pump o-ring

Fuel injector seals
Fuel injector grommet
Fuel injector o-rings
A/C discharge hose o-ring
Throttle body gasket
Radiator drain seal


For auto trans you get everything mentioned above PLUS:
Front sway bar endlinks(for some inexplicable reason)

Vacuum pump o-ring





Don't ask me where I got that list. :thumbup:

Wow — end of May. Guess I should wander over there and make an appointment. Looking forward to hearing feedback on how Stevens Creek Subaru does with this recall job.

It took a week and everything is good to go.

Try Fremont Subaru

I want to San Francisco Toyota, Geary location.

The car has a JRSC and other bits. Around $800 was the charge for doing it with the supercharger on the car.

The work was done very well. Had the car back in three days.

i wish i could take my brz to a toyota dealership, they seem to have there shot together

Avoid Stockton Toyota. So far a local has got a new short block and now his radiator broke and they found a pen in the system. Yes, a pen as in a writing instrument. Their initial response is that they wont cover claiming it wasn't them lol

Why'd you wait for 3+ months when Fremont can do it within a week? lol

I got mine done at Hendricks Toyota in Merriam KS (KC) After one false start to get a gasket, they took a week. Nice loaner. Kept me well informed. I have put about 100 miles since I got it back. No leaks and so far no problems.
