  1. Picture not always worth a thousand words! Can't decipher photo. I guess I was getting at if you come up with legible part numbers first to compare yourself, others might identify something odd by numbers of both dist and your new cap n rotor

    Idon't believe the rotor tip touches to contact, spark jumps small air gap.

    What if you swap module from sparking dist to non sparking dist? Lever star off with two flat blades pivoting on dist body. Mind the tiny roll pin in hole of star that faces the flat of the shaft.

    If you didn't touch the throttle cable while changing the crossover pipe I'd say the more likely scenariot your throttle cable is fraying.  

    I had to touch it as i Had the engine out and upside down for thread repair. Immediate change and think it is my new LHD cable from Rock. It is. And 100 mm longer than RHD. No idea why Subatu

  3. I am not close enough to help, nor have I done this...but I have an EJ20 sitting in my 92 Brumby mated up to its matching awd 5MT out of a '99 Impreza. No flywheel or clutch to avoid weight and lining stuff up at this stage. 

    This is about where it stagnated. I have measured up to see about 50 mm needs cuttingfrom tail shaftshaft

    65 mm out of shifter rods. Done one. Halfway into stay support rod

    Experimental

    imental

    I found donor has diff ratio of 3.9 anI have MY style rear diff to match

  4. DaveT sounds like a serial head gasket offender doesn't he? 

    ;)

    What about a random cooling system leak sealer as a preventative measure?

    Steam out exhaustI pulled and serviced heads, new genuine HGS and still blew steam!

    Trusted for 25 years machine shop guy(still going today @ 71 years of age) calmed me down and handed me a Sealwel block with verbal instructions.That EA82T gave no trouble gor next 80,000 km until i pulled it for transplant.

    Sealwel has done some marvellous fixups for me in hg dept. 

  5. Yeah but that copper line might fracture due to vibration if not brace clamped midway. My other block has brass barb fittings. Looked at the inside of cut off hose and very crusty so cantcan't be new hose. Gremlin strike keypad again

    I love to use ea82 mpfi fuel hose clamps on this hose...beats those horrid wire clamps

    Test drive was fine but time for new hose order

  6. I swear it was.new old Jono stock ! Just replaced the thermostat gasket suspecting repeated unbolting of the housing for temp senders each side, caused a spray of sweet tasting green stuff in the region at unwitnessed random.

    Then as waiting for coolant to find its level can hear feint wet.air suckling noise.

    This little obscure ID hose had tiny hole just off the nipple - easy end thank Fuji

    Quick chop and fix

    Just not happy to see what looked new develop this  :(

  7. Taken a few miles to get used to driving on the smaller bore up pipe. Now the power is there on tap at low revs not further up the rev range.

    Has made it much more tractable to drive. Somehow the loud pedal feels like it isharder to press.

    Theexhaust note from 2.5" system sounds tougher down low and she pulls out of corners better due to torque coming down the rev range a lot. Quite hard to make it do 80 klh in second now as job is done in power delivery by 65

    Happy

  8. Can of worms continues. I got torque the exhaust nuts up to 34 ft/lbs found in my Gregories for M10 engine and crunch goes someone else's insert :(

    Only thinking at the moment but the 7/16 trick probably not work if hole had been tapped for an insert

    Looks like need to do a 7/16 tepair insert first. Insert repairs i found looked like installed with a liquid locker

    Ho hum
