dave valiant Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 A buddy of mine had a timing belt break on his 85 RX. I have the timing belts from the bad motor that was in my wagon, and they have about 1000 miles on them. Will the timing belts off of an ea82 work on an ea82 turbo motor. And how about the water pump. will it swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[HTi]Johnson Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Yes to belts. But does either car have AC? or a clutch fan on the pump? the AC water pump is shorter than the Non AC water pump...which makes me thinks that if one is AC and one isn't, your belts for you alternator and pump won't line up If you are doing the belts to the manual, be careful when it tells you to put both cam pulleys' hole up. This is wrong, the left pulley up, right pulley down. and make sure you are on the middle of the 3 valve marks...not the Top Dead Center mark. EDIT: Who knows where that great Timing Belt write up is?

This is wrong, the left pulley up, right pulley down. and make sure you are on the middle of the 3 valve marks...not the Top Dead Center mark Yes, that "cam pulley marks up" almost got me too when I tried following the manual to changed my belts. I was using a Haynes manual and it almost said the same thing, except it also briefly said to turn the crankshaft 360 degrees between belts. I missed that detail during the first initial read. So the procedure as suggested by the manual is to align the flywheel to the triple marks, install first timing belt, turn crankshaft around one complete revolution back to the same 3 marks and install the other timing belt. At the start of this procedure, it would be ok to have both cam pulleys pointing straight up, but after the first belt is installed and the crankshaft turned one revolution, then the first cam would then be pointing down while you are installing the belt on the second one. I hope I didn't just add more confusion to a really simple process. Rollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 If the replacement pump is the shorter one, you can shim it out- it's only about 3/16 inch. If it's the other way around, you can't use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 if the water pump is different, just use the pulley that goes with it when you swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave valiant Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 Thanks all. Both cars have ac. I was just curious if the turbo engines had a better pump. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Turbo water pump is quite different. Emily http://www.ccrengines.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomRhere Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Turbo water pump is quite different. Emily http://www.ccrengines.com Can this Non-Turbo Subaru owner get a clarification on just what that means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
