Cam is short for camshaft. The camshaft is driven by the timing belts off the crankshaft. If you're a tooth off, the engine will run really poorly and it will be very noticable at idle. You will feel it as the whole car will shake, not just the shifter. The 89 is identical to the 88, except possibly some changes in color coding of wiring. The manual is the same for both.

heater core making gurgling noises
Subarian replied to karinvail's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
It's not that complicated. Park with nose uphill. Remove radiator cap. Squeeze upper hose slowly and release. Add coolant. Repeat until no more air bubbles appear. Fill overflow bottle. Enjoy. -
Jiminey crickets, I got clutch problems
Subarian replied to Joey Joe's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
What they're saying is that if you mount it the ONLY way it will go on, you'll be lined up so the marks on the flywheel are aligned with the crank at TDC. The bolt holes are asymmetrical. Put it on the crank extension and turn it until all the bolt holes line up. -
It kind of reminds me of the metal doors we welded on our HMMWVs in Iraq. Of course, those were 1/2 inch steel, which is really hard on the hinges, and even harder on the toes when the hinges break.

easy weber air box swap!

Info needed about GL drive train
Subarian replied to mellow65's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Actually, it is AWD when the center diff is not locked. That means power is transmitted (in theory) through the differentials to all four wheels. The unfortunate thing about this setup is that with three non-LSD differentials, the wheel with the MOST slip will get all of the power being transmitted. Locking in the center diff puts the car into 4WD mode, in that power is being transmitted through a locked diff to both front and rear. In that case, the front wheel with the most slip AND the rear wheel with the most slip will turn. If you add a rear LSD, both rear wheels and the front wheel with the most slip will receive power, giving you the best traction available on any stock EA series car. Having said that, locking the center diff is like locking in the 4WD in a pushbutton or d/r car; it should only be done in limited traction or off road conditions, as torque bind will occur on dry pavement. -
GD is right about one thing leading to another. I've been down that road, and it does tend to get expensive. On the other hand, I just picked up a complete 92 Legacy with 162,000 miles for $250, and the engine is going into my 86 wagon. The adaptor plate is something you can build yourself, and the flywheel can be modified with a dremel or a round file. The EJ clutch is not needed, as the EA82 d/r 5 speed stays (mine's getting a turbo or XT clutch) and you can do the wiring. So it can actually be a lot less expensive to go the EJ22 route, and you get considerably more power.

I pulled a d/r full-time 4wd with center diff lock out of an RX (I think it was an 89, but not sure) at pick-n-pull for about $150. I also picked up the limited-slip rear diff while I was there. -
EA-82 air intake question
Subarian replied to starkiller's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
There's probably not a lot of air flow behind the headlight, but you can collect some cold air behind the headlight on the passenger side inner fender well. There's an opening there that's the cold air intake on the fuel injected EA82s. -
It sounds like you have one or more exhaust hangers broken or missing. If you get under the car and follow the exhaust, you should see the hangers. Repairing or replacing them should fix your problem.

Ad hominem is latin. It means, "to the man," and it's not an insult. It means that you attack the person rather than the argument. I was just trying to give you another option, not telling you how to do it. It's your car.

As far as the bellcrank (that's the part on the throttle shaft that the cable attaches to) I used my original and modified it to fit the Weber. It works really well.

Too cool!

It doesn't look like there's a whole lot of engineering or metalwork there. You could make your own with a sawzall and a drill for a lot less.

Honda 71 AN600 4x4 Soobie style
Subarian replied to Scott in Bellingham's topic in Subaru Transplants
Cool project. It looks pretty tiny, though. I imagine it would take some shortening of driveshafts and maybe axles.
