Finally got my Forester running again!
29 December 2010
As some of you may or may not know, my Forester was not running properly when I bought it. Ended up being a bad valve.
And here are some pictures, enjoy.
Starting the teardown.
Got the intake off.
Wonder why there was a miss.
"New" head on and intake gaskets.
Intake and timing cover back on.
Almost ready to start.
She lives!!!!
It was kinda scary for me, being the first time I've been into a motor that much.

Nice work! Not gone that far into an engine myself but helped friends who've done that on theirs (head gasket change) - fairly hairy but you really learn how it all goes together, and that it's not (quite!) as complicated as you think!
