ok, i got some brake pics from subaru junkies site, and some turbo pics from danbob99

when you press the clutch thecable activates a valve when the clutch is in. the brake pressure applied will be how much you press the pedal. it simply holds the pressure back while the clutch is in. once you let off the clutch, it releases the pressure. but an improperly adjusted hill holder will hang up the rear brake a little it wont apply the rear brake when shifting, unless you hit the brake at the same time!

most likely nothing bad like coolant in the oil, but its definately some form of moisture i had a motor that did that, but no sighn of bad head gaskets or leaks or anything.. wipe it all off and see how long it comes back

water, coolant, or steam in the crank case

i posted the glossary, and it explaind different engine designations, tranny designations, and what they come in. the hill holdse is on the inner frame below the master cylinder, and has a cable going to it from the clutch fork. when the clutch is depressed, it holds back brake pressure to the rear wheels, intil you release the clutch

EA71 is the 1600 motor ea81 is pishrods 1.8 ea82 is timing belt 1.8 you will have to find an ea82 flywheel, or drill out the holes to your existing flywheel what year dit the spare motor come from check out the glossary of terms on te top of the page i linked to above

are you using the timing belt motor as a replacement(ea820 you mentioned that the trans was a 5spd 4x4. that year came with a 4spd, unless someone put a 5spd in there from an ea82 if so, use the ea82 flywheel. if its the orginal trans, the ea81 flywheel can be drilled out to fit on the ea82 motor, but the timing marks will be incorrect check this out for infohttp://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/subaru/service/SubaruService.htm and here is from the topic on engine swaps http://usmb.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7364&highlight=ea82+swap

Miles Fox's HOMEPAGE is now up http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/homepage/index.htm

sorry, i wouldnt know that one. i have had them apart, though even though you bore it out, i think it should retain its venturi curvature for airflow dybamics

yeah, the layout reminds me of usmb.net i guess its the dreamweaver program you both use..

i got yahoo messenger, you can get ahold of me there. i just tried to sigh nup for aim but was unsuccessful i can try that later Brian gave me access to the USRM but he states that you(shawn w) is in charge of the board itself if you have issues PLEASE let me know. i neet to know what the "rules" are in regards to linking to or using usmb material give me a heads-up yeah, if i know what's up that will help out for what i have to do yet..

what if i could assume permission, and those who DO NOT want to be linked post here? just some ideas. i'm on a roll and can get a lot of links activated but lets see what the collective opinion is on that first..............

does your site work off the usmb.net? i now have a login for the USRM

I have uploaded all the pics submitted so far. i also took pics with permission i converted all the file names to lower case, and took spaced out. the files with odd numbers i gave a name to each pics are in its own folder according to member have a peek http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox i also have scanned pages from the 85-02 parts guide for xt, 2-door ea81, and ea82's http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/partsguide i still have to re-upload all my old pics after i convert the filenames, and i have 5 megs of new pics i took with the mavica that needs to go up yet. i will be editing my pages with dreamweaver, and will post them here as they go up

well if its closed are you sure you are right on your timing marks. that i think would explain 2 open valves and the compression reading http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/subaru/service/Timing%20Belt.htm

yeah jims wagon had add-on dealer AC, it had the bolt on pulley.

it would be like a harley, dual exhaust POTATO POTATO it will sound like when it runs

Ask Jim Wood (86subaru), He will tellya :wave: yup! mmm hmm

the one from my carter/weber was the longest with the throttle being on the othr side. i had to invent a mount for my ea82 hitachi and motor

i parted an 87 for my turbo wagon, it had fat case ea71

allthough xt6 5spd has 3.9, the rx trans has low range wich is ultimately lower gear./ but RX low is still tall enough to drave around on, you just use more gas cause youre ROMPIN' it! myoss feece take the RX to 75 in lo-range on the hiway

yeah no speedo means the front diff is not spinning. so the clutch does not have enough grab to move the car. if it were a broken axle, the speed will go up, car will not go, but if you put it in 4wd, it will go on the rear axle. the 4wd is vacuum operated. make sure there is no loose vacuum line to the vacuum reservoir on the passenger strut tower check to see if the axle boots are ripped. if they are, and dont pop and click, you can rebuild them if you know how to use tools

yeah we fixed it at lumpy cam's. we used the fresh ea81 inner tie rod (we lengthened) from ed and and used the ea81 tie rod end. but we had to ream the knuckle on the ea82 knuckle to fit the ea81 tie rods. i originally had ea82 outer tie rod on the way out. but that was not the problem the problem was my rack was not centered when i did the mod. she is all good to go making the trip back east ("out midwest") so here it is You have to take the rear portion of the ea82 mount (the 2 flanges the lower contol arm bolts thru) cut ott the rear one by grinding the welds and taking the piece off as its stamped on fit that BEHIND the lower control arm mount on the ea81 crossmember. thread a bolt thriu and weld on the mount (it will fit the contour of the crossmember) there will be extra metal on one end, so you can cut that off before you mount it the strut brace rod will fit , but only with the new mount. the ea81 lower control arm will fit in the ea81 mount, but the axle will be too far forward and rub the frame, and hyper extend enough to rip the boots or pop them off. and the strut brace will need modified so make the mount and put on the ea82 control arm, strut rod fits. I used the EA82 struts, knuckle, and brakes, so i did not have to modify the ball joint hole. i made my mod with the ability to use unmodified replacement parts i used a spring compressor to remove thestrut cap I used a EA81 strut cap, with the hole modified to fit the ea82 strut shaft and nut. i drilled a straight hole, but i should have made the half moon shape to keep the struts still while the nut is tightened i used part of the ea81 shaft bushing to lengthen the ea82 strut bushing, and ea82 springs and plastic boot. i cut the ea81 bushings to use the fat part so now i can have an ea82 strut that fits on the ea82 strut tower, and the ea82 control arm to fit the axle i had to lengthen my tie rods because i had a manual rack. The MOD was supposed to use ea82 inner and outer tie rods, to fit on the ea82 POWER rack. i recommend using ea82 struts and tie rod ends. if you use an ea82 strut and knuckle, you will have to drill the holes out for the ea82 tie rod end and the ball joint hole on the new control arm dam, i should do my write-up while i m on a roll ! does any one have pics of crossmembers, control arms, or struts i can use? so now my mods will accept an xt6 lower control arm, and knuckle. i will swap my modified EA81 strut cap to the xt6/impreza/legacy struts i have the idea of using the ea82 swaybar brackets and put them on ea81, they swaybars will bolt to the new lower control arms that way i can take off the ea81 swaybar to make room for dual exhaust

links page is up i pulled all the current urls from the members list and threw in some that i knew so here is a compilation of subaru links you may use it if you want, either link to it, save it on your site, or copy and paste, since its public message board material(links posted by members)
