a slightly blown head gasket will seep exhaust into the coolant displacing the fluid. watch for air bubbles rising out of the radiator when the car is running. its possible your motor swap has a head gasket issue

95 legacy wagon. 261,000 mi. the car had 259,600 when i got it. all original motor. i put a transmission in the car to drive it but the motor is the same for all i know, and i believe it.

my rx has a sunoco food mart interstate sighn for floorboads...

i would guess something electrical with the coil. my 87 rx once ran a carb motor with an accel coil. the ign would cut out in the upper rpm inless i babied into it. with all the descriotions of symptoms it sounds too similar to my situation. i never could figure it out but maybe i had too much gap in the plugs too (and custom 8mm wires)

not entirely necessary. it is common for the cracks to be between the valves and even go down to the valve guide. only be aware of cracks inside the exhaust port, where it goes to the water jacket my rx had cracks between the valves down to the valve guides. i ported them with a dremel and they have been just fine

for donor cars, the front windows will be the same between wagons and sedans, but the rear door windows are wagon specific

DO NOT LEAVE THE 4WD LEVER IN FALS NEUTRAL/ JUST LEAVE IT IN HIGH. LEAVE THE GEAR LEVER IN NEUTRAL. sorry dam caps lock... anyway towing with a rop,strap,chain is no different than the car driving naturally as far as what the driveline can tell what you are NOT supposed to do is tow an awd on a tow dolly where the rear axl;es are turning on the road and the front wheels are on the dolly basic rule for towing AWD: all wheels on the road or all wheels off the road. as far as the rope people will arguew if its safe or legal but if you are in the country or what not, and as long as the guy in ythe rx being towed has enough sense to keep the slack out of the chain then you will do alright

your mechanic installed the belts with both cams up. he should do one side then rotoate the crank then do the other side. common mistake. i have seen a PERFECTLY goos 88 dl fo for 80 bucks after the previous owner spent 400 bucks on the timing belt. because the one cam was upside-dowen same goes for the xt-6 that tomrhere picked up a while back. i wrote the book on timing belts look it up!

i see the offset starter, so possibly the transmission AND motor are off a later model. also by design of the water pump this is a fat case motor as well

my rx was rusty at the seams enough that the rear floorboards are now a sunoco food mart sign. i have been using this "rust'n me"??? or something like that its's called, you brush it on and it eats up the rust. i have been using it with a wire wheel between apps and finally a coat of white galvanized primer brush-on.

what you are doing reminds me of the BABE rally (ny to new orleans) i went on the BABE in my toyota camper,averaged 15 mpg and drove4400 miles, used about 250 gallons of gas at an average of 3dollars per gallon fora cost of 750 in fuel

the big fat aluminum resistor on the firewall? check that as i have seen that misfire on a 91 legacy and still after an engine swap. changing the resistor fixed it

recycle your used bolys, save every boly tou remove. because when you havetwo 5 gallon buckets ov bolys to dig through, one of them just may have the one bolt you need. otherwise, good luck finding something with 1.25 threads, even the hardware store.

the power comes off a relay mounted just above the ecu on the steering column. there is a green and a brown relay, i believe the brown one is fuel even if you have 12 v at the pump make sure it is ggrounding at the body as well. make sure the relay is getting power. yes it its possible to hotwire the pump to the coil/ign circuit. you may as well get the relay to take off from there. check allt he wires to the relay since it is turnrd on by a ground int he ecu

mmm rustoleum metal flake blue. like the color, although the execution is por. should you lnow how to weild a paint can then finish it off the same color something fierce

do the driver side belt first, then rotate the crank and do the passenger side. if you never removed the disty then you are good. if you did remove it, line up the timing after the belts are on

95 legacy just about to turn 260,000 on its original motor. the transmission has less miles than the car by more than the trans has itself

i bet on one year. if i can put 20000 miles on a torn boot through 2 seasonsof winter and cross-states driving, then i will bet a strut swap is not anywhere near as damaging

your mechanic guy lined up one of the cams out of phase. the motor is essentailly running on 2 cyls, firing on the exhaust stroke on one side. flip a cam 10 and be ok happens all the time with domestic influenced mechanics

1-7/8" but 1-3/4" will work as well (if the first is not available

make sure you lined the timing belt with the 3 lines and mot the 0degbtdc marks http://www.economysuperstar.com/milesfox/subaru/service/timingbelt.htm

well depending on what you want to do for a project or what you want to do for another car, here are your options: a 5spd will swap in if you have all the parts, all bolts up no fabs. timing belts are not the end of the world to work on, its simple once you understand it. you are in denver so im sure you can find any subaru ever made running rampant to no end, take your pick!

looks like an 86 gl-10 this was the fuel injection offer while the other gl's were carb'd. the seats are fluffier and so are the door panels and even the sun visors.i have the older door panels in my 88 sedan.the cack seats should fold down thru the trunk i would grab them too.

hey i spent about 750 on gas in the camper. we went the first time in the lincoln i and it got good 16-18 mpg. both trials ome tank at 75mph and one tank at 65 mph. 10mph speed difference made for about 2-3 mpg by the way the camper went all around 4500 mi with a trailer at 15 mpg. about 250 gal of gas

if walmart did the tires ask them to balance the tire or at least rotate the wobbly tire to the passenger rear. usually if you buy a tire at wal-mart they havelifetime balanceor rotation. find the receipt or find out how thay have you listed intheir computer
