Guest sonik Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Beyond paying http://www.alldata.com $25/year for access to the TSB's for one specifc car, I'm not sure. Got any buddies at a Subaru dealership? I only see that TSB listed for the '89+ cars. The Loyale is listed in 1989 for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GlCraigGT Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 The aftermarket service manual, on CD, I have came with the service bulletins I went and posted a PDF of the one in question here. <a href="http://home.attbi.com/~c.moe/EA82head.pdf" target="top">home.attbi.com/~c.moe/EA82head.pdf</a> It's not exactly the same as the one from Subaru, the information is a direct quote, the graphic is the same, it just dose not have the offical Subaru letterhead.

Guest Skip Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Craig, thank you very much here is what his pdf file says TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN CYLINDER HEAD CRACK BETWEEN THE VALVE SEATS Model Subaru L-Series & Loyale (1.8L MPI & SPI OHC Engines) Group Engine Bulletin No. 02-88-93 Date February 5, 1993 NOTE: Do not replace cylinder heads for a crack between the intake valve seats. Some cylinder heads may exhibit cracks between the intake and exhaust valve seats. These "bridge cracks" do not cause coolant leaks or result in valve seat movement. "Bridge cracks" are cosmetic in nature, and do not justify replacement of the cylinder head. See Fig. 1. Production Changes to Prevent Bridge Cracking 1. A chamfer was made between the valve seats and the cylinder head. 2. Distance between the intake and exhaust valves was increased. This condition does not affect the integrity or durability of the cylinder head nor the operation of the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GlCraigGT Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 I only got 2 of the disks for roughly the same price:mad: but that's how ebay works. I am disapointed in a couple of items with it. There is nothing on transmissions execpt how to change the oil and no photos, just some drawings.

Guest archemitis Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 thanks alot, i have been trying to find that for about a week. im sure its somewhere in the archives, but i couldnt find it. this could save alot of people $400, because the second a machinist sees that crack he says its shot. thanks again. these discs sound interesting, better than a chiltons, i bet.
