"the cylinders were bored .30 over!!! but the crazy part is he put standard pistons back in!!! the block was ruined ofcourse cus it was bored untill the water jacket showed in the cylinder wall. :eek:" This post is worthless without pictures.

"Cracked blocks on EJ22's are unheard of (really unheard of on ANY Subaru - they just don't do that).." Oh yes they do. Never Mind.

Here's one. 17.1, 82 mph. Not completely stock. http://www.dragtimes.com/Subaru-GL-Timeslip-7216.html

Hi, "is there something else to look at?" If you didn't buy the best radiator you could lay your hands on, you messed up right there. Single core is a mistake in these cars. Sincerely, Doug

Hi Das, Odds of a successful rebuild on that carb is pretty slim. You might have to custom grind some screwdrivers to even get it all apart. The power valve is clogged and very hard to clean. Hopefully the "kit" has a new one in it. At that mileage, the throttle shafts have probably worn, hogged out the cast iron they ride in. Assuming it's the original carb. Fuel filters, tank, and fuel pump/lines have a bunch of crap in them. But hopefully, you got it fixed. Doug

Hi, You could check the rubber hose that activates the secondary of the carburetor. I drove one for a while on just the primary side of the carb. Old hose had a hole in it. Doug

Hey, Make sure you click on the right VIN. Make sure you have the right DL, GL and so forth. Any questions, call. Works for me. Doug Edit: thepartsbindotcom has them. Good selection. Current listing on eBay for tranny mounts as well. FYI.

Depends:)

You're welcome. Doug

Hey, Not sure where you live...or even if this is exactly what you're looking for.

Last time I checked, I could get 2 motor mounts and the transmission mounts for about $140.00 U.S.D. ... Doug

The best radiator you can lay your hands on. Dual core, copper/brass. Or, dual core aluminum. Doug

Hi, Last time I checked, I could buy new rear drums to fit your car, for about $50.00 ea. Rock Auto. Closeout. So that's much less than the price you got. Just putting out another option. Doug

Yea naru, I've read on the board before about the RX rod. Only makes sense why. Doug

Hi Subarule, The parts I posted are what you want. I just took an 18mm open end wrench and put it on the strut rods of a Loyale and a few different years GL's. They are all 18mm in diameter. Doug

It doesn't go through the struts. Your source only offers the "Stabilizer Bar" That is also known by the name, "Sway Bar". It is part of the suspension. You only have one of those on the front of your Subaru. I'm pretty sure that the parts I listed, are what you want. Doug

Hi, As 91Loyale said, order new rubber bushings while you're at it, whatever else you do. If they haven't been replaced before, I would expect due to age alone, they would be somewhat deteriorated. Have both sides replaced, they're inexpensive. SPICER/RAYBESTOS Part # 5781041 {Professional Grade} Front; To Frame $7.01 Doug

"Any useful idea most welcomed!" Man, if it's that tough...you could just remove and replace the cover with another one. Depends on whether another is readily available, cheap, free. Doug

"It is crappy though, I would at least talk to them, they may offer some help or compensation." Yep. If I paid that much for an EA-82T, I would expect them to give me a partial refund for that kind of damage and hassle. Doug Edit: If they don't give you any money back, please give me the name of the Company. That's so I never do business with them. Thanks in advance.

I was thinking roof rack. About 1 psi per foot of elevation...

Cool. Back in the saddle again.

Hi '84, An older car such as this will start "without" a carb on it, if you pour some fuel down the open manifold. I don't advise it, but I thought you should know before you throw a new one on it thinking it may solve your problem. Doug

Hi, What you're seeing sounds like an "air-gap" front Y pipe. I'm not sure if that's the correct name but I had one on an '87 GL. This pipe has no heat shields and is a pipe, within a pipe. I ended up brazing the two together to stop the rattle after using a pipe expander on the inner one. You may want to just replace it. Doug

'How do you fix a crank thrust issue ?" Hi, You may not have that problem. The fix if you do would be a crank regrind and new bearings. Or a different crank and new bearings. Anyway, general info from my experience. I worked on one Ford that had this problem. I could push and pull on the front crank pulley and actually see and feel the crank move in and out. It would run fine or very badly, depending where the crank was at that particular time. Just something you could check. Doug
