Magnum EJ20 Subaru Closed Deck Short Block
IAG Magnum Subaru EJ20 Closed Deck Short Block. The IAG Magnum EJ20 Short Block starts with brand new Subaru 2.0L engine case halves. IAG machines the case halves assembled together in our Haas VF-4SS CNC mill to accept the IAG CLOSED Deck Inserts that transform the block into a solid deck. The unique inserts feature small passages that allow needed coolant flow to the deck surface. The case halves are then CNC machined for our new Fire-Lock head gasket solution that is loosely derived from diesel technology where a counterbore step is machined around each cylinder bore allowing specially sized fire rings to drop into the machined area and head gasket bores. The Magnum case is then drilled and tapped to accept 14mm head studs that combined with the IAG Fire-Lock head gasket set greatly reduces head gasket failure during high cylinder pressure scenarios. Next, the short block is Deck Plate bored and honed to 92.5mm in our in-house Sunnen SV-30 the most advanced automotive cylinder hone
