I'm pretty sure all EJ engines that share that oiling system design spin/seize that one first because it's the one with the worst oil supply, so when things go south, it gets the short straw every time. I could be wrong. Also, here's a song for the Gorester's bottom end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjKNUfPEsB8

Weird that I don't especially have a cause, though. The oil was changed right before the trip, and the level was fine after it seized. Oh well. Onto the next one!

How do you like living with that Quonset hut Adiabatic? I'm looking into low-cost garage options and those are hella cheap to get into and have nice high ceilings to accommodate things like your lift. If you had $10k to throw together a garage today and no current garage, would you stick with the Quonset?

Those two little piddly A/C units in the back keep me plenty cool in the summer with a fan or two. Heat from that woodstove is great if I'm ever assed to use it.

Guys what if the S2000 curse and the Gorester curse somehow combine and Adibatic's weekend becomes Evil Dead 4.

Heads on: Cams on:   Cam gears on:  Timing belt is also on but I didn't grab a picture. About done connecting all the bits between the intake manifold and the engine. Here's where the recirc usually goes:

All these pictures make me miss the days of the subaru dealership. I worked next to the subaru master tech and every couple days he was doing head gaskets. Usually in five hours. The man was the rain man of subarus. The engine pictures are what the bay me and him shared always looked like. boxers are such a great and easily fixed motor.

Jormungandr tells me every day the Gorester is down is a slight upon the names of my ancestors. That sounds pretty serious so I'm gonna prioritize that.

Good news: THE GORESTER RUNS Bad news: It shot a steady 6' stream of oil at TerribleRobot like the loving exorcist. I put a head gasket on backwards.  Goal tomorrow: Engine out, head gasket replaced, motor closed back up.

Ahahahahaha. Don't worry, I managed to put the LH head on the RH side of the block and I was about to mount the other one when it clicked that the timing gears would have to go on the flywheel side
