steve56 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Got 2002 ej25 from wrecking yard. Im doing a leakdowd test because car was in accident and timing belt came off. Ran good at wrecking yard after the belt was put back on. Noticed this sticker on the block. Is it a sticker put on after head gasket repair? Its not anything the wrecking yard did. Im also looking for verification on leakdown test procedure/results. Testing at 100psi. Timing belt on, rotating crankshaft until top of compression cycle on each cylinder. At 100psi on left guage I'm getting about 95 psi on right guage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 yes that's a typical heat marker put on after a headgasket or other major service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Usually see that sort of thing on rebuilds. Leakdown test looks good at only 5% leak. Some manufacturers specify up to 15% leak as normal. Not sure about Subaru, but 5% is pretty good on any engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 For a junkyard motor, those are two big positives. Reccomend a new timing kit unless you know the one on there is newish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
