I know Fiid was doing one of these, anyone else in progress or complete?
After doing the contortionist trick of adjusting valves with the exhausts in place a couple of times, I'm in the middle of pulling the HEs off my 1.7 to replace a pair of exhaust studs, and reminding myself how much easier the job would be if the exhausts were off, but thanks to the stock heater system how big a hassle that is. I hate exhaust studs pulling out (No. 3 cylinder, as usual). And all this trouble for only 80hp. 140hp or so from a water-cooled engine with hydraulic lifters (or 20K mile valve adjustment intervals) is starting to sound pretty good right now. If it were any easier to run water lines, I'd be all over this already. |

You guys seen the Small Car mount?
http://www.smallcar.com/m4.htm Attaches solidly to the engine, with forward attachment point for a mounting bar (in this case a Vanagon - but ditch it and make your own). Anchors to the original mounts, but also further forward on the engine case. Not sure this particular mount works with the WRX exhaust layout, but they do state they've done a WRX Vanagon and make a mount for it. Maybe good for some ideas to duplicate it? Maybe Small Car sells just the side plates separately? Looks a little heavy, but sure gets the mounting point up front. Jeff |
