Subaru Plumstead killed my Subaru WRX engine
In early 2023 I lost an engine due to bearing failure, on cylinders 1 and 4
caused by oil starvation due to a blocked oil pickup tube.
the pickup tube was blocked with silicon, an engines rely on oil to lubricate moving components
such as the bearings, crank, rods and pistons.
Subaru Plumstead had done work to my vehicle prior, to fix a leaking timming cover.
They used too much silicon during the re-application of the timing cover.
Over time silicon began breaking off and ciculating through the motor, which eventually blocked the pickup.
