Between the 2 shortblock halves, there is 2 hollow guide-pins. The shop overboring my engine removed them with Vise-grips, rendering the guide-pins completely unreusable.
"No prob, i'll buy new ones at the dealership" .. well.. NO. Like the oil Squirters, those pins comes with the shortblock, and can't be ordered..

It's a chance i have 2 spare Wrx shortblock in my shed, and i'll be ULTRA carefull while trying to remove the guide-pins from them to use them on the EJ22T ..

I'm starting to HATE Subaru Canada with this "can't order that part" attitude
