Ok here’s a fight I’ll pay to watch. Rust vs Amsoil HD metal protectant. To me Vermont is the place to hold this event. Will accept NH or Maine as well.

It's a manual so I usually just sit there unless it's a hill. The issue with these stems from an old set of pads several years ago. I just replaced the pads and didn't do anything with the rotors. Funds were tight and I needed brakes. Obviously the new pads didn't match the rotors and they warped. I can now afford to do it right so I am. I was just curious about Duralast. I'll likely go with centric, EBC, HawkPerformance, Power Stop, or Aekbono.

I only run Duralast pads on my vehicles. They have a lifetime warranty (including wear), so you never have to buy them again. Golds come with hardware, so that's usually my preference. The Gold rotors are ok, but I've had a couple sets, and the coating that they come with flakes off super easy, and I wasn't terribly impressed with how they held up. They're not bad, but I don't think they're worth the premium (OE rotors are cheaper, in some applications). Most standard Duralast rotors have a coated hat now, anyway.

Read the reviews: https://www.amsoil.com/reviews/heavy-duty-metal-protector-amhsc/ The HD Metal Protector is essentially cosmoline. So is this CRC but the Amsoil offering is cheaper - 15oz vs. 10z cans and nearly the same price. And another video this guy did. His main complaint about all the dry wax cosmoline coatings seems to be that it's "too permanent" and it takes time to dry. Neither of which are concerns I have regarding using this on heavy duty machinery. GD

you have obviously never been to WI, IL, or MI 🤣 one of the Legacy's we have had in the past... and then there was my first one, Brumhilda..

do it lol

This is a Factory Carb'd + Disty EJ engine Running in an Honduran Subaru Legacy: (More info, part numbers and photos on this Thread ~► Here) The 1981 Ford Escort distributor fits with little modification. Slight modification of the drive plate to mate with the cam and open up the mounting bolt slots, in case you want to adapt a Ford Escort distributor, the parts needed from the Ford, are the complete distributor, the plug from distributor to the ignition module, the ignition module itself, an average ignition coil and its coil wire. As far as I know, besides the Ford Escort distributor, also the ones from the Early Mitsubishi Lancer and Ford Laser / Mazda 323 works. By the way, regarding this statement... ...Here I found one for sale, online: ~► https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.uy/MLU-605372654-distribuidor-subaru-legacy-18-_JM Kind Regards.

From memory Phinzina was working on this with an adaptor plate. I can’t find the thread I think I remember him writing about it on offroadingsubarus… I think it’s a case of make a plate that fits between the head and the dizzy that’s oil-tight an allow for timing adjustment. Or do what Silverbullet Sam did and make that electronic timing system that runs the ignition timing. Im looking forward to see what you come up with! Cheers Bennie
