Engine Project

I have a Subaru Legacy which I recently learned has a problem with blowing cylinder head gaskets. The past week has been dedicated to extracting the engine from the vehicle.

You can read about the issue and see pictures of a similar extraction here:

I'll post some pictures from my own project once I figure out exactly how to do that...

Update. The heads are flat. There's no wear on the shims. Overall, the engine is in really good shape--save the head gasket. We're in the re-assembly phase.
