  1. 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?
  2. LOL, 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.
  3. Thanks 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.
  4. Now 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?
  5. '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.......
