I'm going to try my hand on a flat 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Last sunday I picked up a legacy for $1000 from a family friend, since the FT86 will be a flat 4 and I never rebuild a flat 4 before I need to know how to work on them so this will be a learning step for me.

nice. make sure you use anaerobic sealant between the block halves, and NOT RTV. also, the pistons go in after you bolt the case together around the crank with the rods already bolted on. it's weird and annoying. the rest is just like any other engine.

I'll need to chat with you and ichi when the times comes, right now FSM and slowly buying seals and other parts I'll need to replace.
