Vacuum Diagram - 96 2.5 Outback
Doing a HG job on a 96 2.5/auto Outback and I forgot to label a couple of the vacuum lines on the passenger side when I pulled the intake off. I did a search and found this thread (http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=51974&highlight=vacuum+diagram) which was addressing an early 90's motor, would it apply to my 96? There are 2 lines coming off the fender (pressure sensor & switching solenoid valve?), one with what looks like a check valve. There is a nipple on the intake, a brown nipple below the intake (purge control solenoid valve?) witha seconf line that has a tee, and a line coming off the fuel rail (pressure regulator?). Anybody have a good vacuum diagram that will clarify these lines?

Bonehead Move - Head Gasket Re-use
makkat replied to makkat's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXLOL, wish I was still down the street in Westminster so you could come over and do it for me! I will just order a new gasket since I have to get the bolts. I refuse to go to the morons in town that need a VIN number to get me a stupid grill clip. They were helpful once and actually found a discontinued number without needing a VIN. Guess I haven't been talking to the old guy who knows how to find things without the computer.

Bonehead Move - Head Gasket Re-use
makkat replied to makkat's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThanks Gnuman, I must have misread your post the first time or I would have seen that you listed the different torque locations. a97obw, I probably wouldn't have broken the bolt if I had been paying closer attention and didn't try to re-torque them 3 days later. I torqued them all to 7ft/lbs on Friday and re-read the manual on Monday and saw the 14ft/lbs. I did pay extra attention to the orientation of the caps, just mis-read what I was supposed to do to them.

Bonehead Move - Head Gasket Re-use
makkat replied to makkat's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNow I am confused....I thought the cam bolts were all 14ft/lb and the valve covers was 7ft/lb? I also never noticed a difference in the size of the cam bolts. I did pull them out and put them back in the same position....which are supposed to be the large bolts and which are the small?

Bonehead Move - Head Gasket Re-use
'96 OBW 2.5 auto Well, got the heads done and back on and went to torque the camshaft bolts. SNAP. The #2 (torque sequence wise) intake cam bolt broke off below the surface of the head. I am/was doing the HG job in the car so I can't easily get an easy-out in to remove the remainder of the bolt. If I pull the head back off to remove the bolt, would it be ok to reuse the HG or should I order a new one? Where can I get the cam bolts? Are these just a hardware store item or do I need to get them form a dealer? I looked online and only see a listing for the headbolts. I must REALLY love my wife.......
