I'd check the crank journals and then just swap in new heads if they are 
OK…just clean everything well..  But.. Then again…

It seems to me that the turbo failure and the spun cam bearings may be related. 
 Perhaps a clogged oil passage from some piece of the turbo that failed?

Subject: NMC - Are these toast?


  Man, I cannot catch a break.   ~1200 miles into ownership of a used Subaru 
Legacy GT ('06, ~67k mi) my turbo failed.   That sucked plenty.

Now, 1500 miles later... spun bearing!  Trying to figure out if I need a new 
long block or could get by with a shortblock or rebuild the one I have.  Please 
look at the attached pictures- the cap in particular.   Toast?

No cam bearings in these cars, just the alu caps.

TIA,
Robert
