My forester just developed a misfire and according to Subiworks in Murrieta the compression and leakdown indicate a burnt intake valve.
It doesn't seem like anything else is wrong with the engine, but I'm going to have Subiworks rebuild it once our house sells and we land in another.
So my question is, what are some other things that are reliability upgrades to do while the engine is out? I have a limited budget(limited as far as engine rebuilds go) So I'm not power hunting, I want an engine that is fun and reliable.
Already planned is forged pistons and a complete engine and turbo tear down, inspection and reseal. I also plan to discuss this with them once I've got the car there and have paid them, I don't want to jaw their ears for an hour without paying them.
Is the IAG cylinder 4 cooling mod worth doing?
Battery cable upgrades?
Again, no power stuff other than basic bolts ons maybe, I'm more looking for reliability. I'll also be moving the car to southern AZ.
Thanks. .
