one cam is always harder to turn than another due to the cam lobes being oriented differently. what year and engine? cam sprockets have notches/markings on their outer circumference. line that up with the 12 noon notch in the rear timing covers.

That reminds me, I found the plug inside the tank for that connector fried about a year ago on our 95 RHD. The Denso pumps have a pigtail with a plug on each end, one for the pump and one for that connector. My wife was on her mail route she called and said she could not hear the fuel pump run. I grabbed my spare pump and a box of other stuff and tools and we swapped cars. Lucky I had some wire with. I wire nutted onto the pump wire inside the tank and hooked to a wire with a cigar lighter plug. Drove home and replaced it.

No, but it doesn’t matter. It has a chain which never needs maintenance. Those engines are awesome, that’s why there’s 3 in my driveway now - 265k, 205k, 180k (though one isn’t mine but I helped them get it). Easy to drive 100,000 miles without ever thinking about them and very few issues. No timing belt. no distributor cap and rotor. No plug wires. The stock plugs commonly can last 100k and look good when you pull them.

Me either... i would certainly be suspicious of someone coming to my house like that.

Rear timing covers = the black covers behind the cam wheels Cheers Bennie

Sounds good, thanks for the info. I went to rebuild my carb, realized it was the one barrel and that I an't find parts for it and now I'm just searching for an inexpensive option that will be reliable(I wasn't liking the one barrel anyways, kept causing stalls in left hand turns. Why do you say the hitachi is as bad as the one barrel? It seems most places I read it was pretty good. Are there carbs from other vehicles that fit the 1bbl manifold that would be better?

I'm new to the Brat world...(but not to Subarus:grin: ) And have found that 81 GL fenders are available aftermarket...will they fit on a 84 Brat? As they look to be the same.... Also, does anyone make an aftermarket rocker panel for them? Thanks, Huck
