No it means the water pump is shot. Yes you have to pull the chain cover to replace the pump. GD

in rear you kinda need them but some seeling lift kits this high without them as well. i used just strut spacers. but it makes your rear strut on wierd angle , mine still was holding fine for couple years at least until i had car.

Yes

17 is spec for 95-99 Phase 1 and will work here for your Phase II 99 the FSM from Subaru is free all over the internet for that car. Get that and work off of it. There’s an angle reference for the pigtail they want to retain as well The numbers referenced are so close that theyll fall within the +/- range and average tools in old threads won’t be accurate anyway. Unless it’s freshly chased and cleaned block side threads and a new bolt, using lube, and a really good torque wrench that has been calibrated recently, and the angle of access and extensions/adapter interfaces aren’t reducing that number.....it’s not going to be exact anyway within the small range of those numbers posted. Do 18 and call it a day.

I was considering selling my project, I still am for the right price. I was driving around the other day and its inspired me to keep my dream alive and continue working on it. I just ordered what I hope are all the things I might need to get it on the road: -disc caliper rebuild kits -power steering pump rebuild kit and tie rods/ball joints -new O2 sensor Hopefully that'll address the brake pulling and steering shimmy issues. I'll also take it around the corner to have an alignment/balance done once I get steering stuff installed. I'm pretty busy trying to finish up a remodel in the basement of my house right now... hopefully I can get my permits completed soon and then dig into the BRAT. I also bought a 1958 Triumph motorcycle... so too many projects but driving this car around is toooo fun.

Taking a wild guess that you're a machinist... Nice work! Are you swapping the battery to the drivers side?
