what did i miss? i cant keep up these days.

if you go to napa get the VALVE COVER SET for 85-94. thay are listed as valve cover, although its a rocker cover. beware of the 85-89 listings, as these are ea71 and ea81. the ea82 valve cover set will include the rubber grommets also.get a tube of non aerobic silicone (permatex ultra grey) to seal the cam case to the head. dont forget about the o-rings.

the fact that you have 3 cars ranging from carb to turbo, and you have both turbo and non turbo trannies. you can pretty much do any combo. just swap the axles original to the turbo tranny if you use it. i suggest the non turbo tranny for off road.

i think the rear caliper idea would work if you made a custom bracket for the mount. if there was a way to mount legacy rear parts o the soob, the legacy has a system the same as the front, but the cables go back to the rear, and the way it connects to the lever itself. as far as fabbing goes, i think legacy calipers would be the best bet, with xt6 rotors.

put the round part of a ball peen hammer on the axle shaft dimple to finish driving it all the way thru. (after you remove the axle nut from the initial pounding.)

i like ti use a 10 0r 12mm wrench, thread a pp bolt thru the box end, and butt the other end against the engine stud. real simple, works for mounting it and torquing too.

stay off the dirt roads and you'll be ok.

spray paint wont peel off from the new-found go-fastness of a slap on wing and a fart pipe. chrome filters and a cherry bomb, but no wing. DAMMIT!

im not one to keep onto cars for long due to impoundments and such, but im not doing too bad myself with a PAIR of trashwagons

I AM MILES FOX! in case you didnt know that already. but i have been absent for a while. keep an eye out for a TRASHWAGON. welcome!if u didnt live all the way over there i would give you a hand. anyway you found the BEST place on the whole internet to bring your questions to

"YO! My SPRAY PAINT is faster than your DECAL" as some crapalier witha wing goes by a traswagon

jump start the car. pull the pos cable and see if it still runs. if it does, the alt is good and the bettery is shot. if it dies, the alt is bad and the battery is shot because of it. i would get the battery first

piss on them cracks, dont worry aobut them. the RX had worse craxks, down to the valve guides, but that didnt stop me from PORTING them and putting over 10000 miles on them thus far. if they do scare you, and if you intend on having the heads looked at, i would suggest staking in the valve seats so they dont fall out. my opinion anyway........

classic example of improper installation, shizz, i use used belts and tensioners all day, used mixand match belts cross-country and back. but i have seen new installations go within a month. make sure you take all the slack out of the DRIVE side of the belt BEFORE you take the slack out with the tensioner side. as long as the tensioner spins freely, its good. the spring wont matter once its all tightened down. just 2 cents from proven experience..........

yo the ea81 bolts up the same as single port, but the ea81has the injectors in the HEADS. ea82's have the injectors in the manifold itself.

try hi-temp silicone. i made a block off by cutting the asv tube, and welding a spark plug to the hole

i voted for tims hatch and eyesore

time to kick this into gear and start taking it seriously. the way things look i wont be leaving butler right away, and look, its may already! i still got a lot of stuff at the carbola that needs to be cleared out. bring your wagons and your roof rack, because you may have parts just given to you. anyway, here is what i had in mind: if you want to come early and help set up come friday. the swap itself will be on saturday, we will park out in the grass and set up a show and shine, and the swap tables will be all about the building. there is a pool table inside, and a bb court across the tracks. if anyone wanted to stay the night we can camp out at the carbola, or at my place if i still live there, and we will go do some baja'n on sunday. the baja'n includes a field for rallying, woods for trails, and a pit for obstacles. our mud is sandy and rocky, so no IOWA stickiness here. if you dont want to drive yours in the woods hop in a trashwagon for the ride! that way everyone has monday to get back home and situated before work.

it really dont matter. the whole exhaust manifold on my pinto(trashwagon 3) has no exhaust gasket

had it happen to me in someone else's car last weekend. it doesnt break anything, but it obviously tears the boot. if you can find all the balls pop them in and reassemble. there is a circlip on the inner diameter of the DOJ, put it back in to hold it together. my experience los the circlip, but i put it back together and drove it 100 miles from there with no problem

drama got old a long time ago

yeah, the dl "STD" hatchback from 85 up had the 1600 fat case motor, which had the same dimensions of the 1800 motor. yup, mm hmm, it will fit.

it maight look like its separated, but that is how its supposed to be. you will understand once you have it apart.

an lds will have a final gear of 3.700 for most models(turbo) and some turbo legacy and xt6 may have them. the brat has a 3.9 gear, and the 3.7 will not match. you may swap the gears between the differentials to make a 3.9 lsd
