The Dude Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 My 99 Forester has leaky engine seals. I'm still not losing even a half a quart between oil changes, but the smell from the hot exhaust has gotten pretty bad. So, at 170,000 miles I'm thinking about changing the T Belt, water pump and oil seals. I'd like to do the work myself. There's plenty of good information for changing the T belt on the 2.5 DOHC. Does anyone know a good source of information for changing the T belt on the SOHC? Thanks. I paid the Subaru dealership to replace the oil seals when the belt was replaced at 100,000 miles. It will be intersting to see if the seals where actually replaced. I think the original oil seals where light brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOMAD327 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 The work is really about the same with only one cam sprocket per side vs. two. That makes it a lot easier to get the timing marks all lined up. It would be good to get a manual with a belt diagram or take a picture before hand of the belt routing and how the marks all line up just to be safe.
