billyfrank Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 My 99 OBW makes a bit of noise. It sounds more like valves than the infamous piston slap. I have gotten different stories as to which years need the valves adjusted. If my 99 needs them adjusted is this a home mechanic job or should it just go to a shop? Cost?

sea#3 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 It's a shop type job , you need a special tool to get the shims in and out as well as an assortment of shims Basically any Subaru 1997 up has adjustable valves SEA#3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
