    This photos were taken by me, on an ancient part of the Capital Citie's Downtown, which has several steep hills, so maybe it should be called Uptown instead?

    Better Understanding the Situation Want to know the reason Why, when the engine Cooled overnight, it Seemed to start normally, and only Failed at Normal operating Temperatures? The engine's ECU has a different fuel / air mixture settings for Cold Starts, that recreates the function of the "Choke" found on Carburetors; so the engine start easier; then the ECU reset those settings back to normal, once the engine reaches normal operating temperatures. That perfectly explains why it always started at the first try while it was Cold, then failed at Normal Operating Temperatures: That was the failing check valve's behaviour. Everything has been resolved with the whole Fuel Pump's assembly change. Kind Regards.

    Thank you for your kind advice. Yes, somehow that is what I obtained at "Sur" paintings: the Aluminium Primer and then, an industrial Grade, Black Paint, chemically designed to withstand the requirements of Heavy Machinery, so the paint will be much more chip resistant, than the average paint. Now I need to find the proper time to do such paintings... I'll borrow an air compressor & hardware from a friend. Kind Regards.

    Nice Touring Wagon! So, Adelaide roads are equally infested with Tailgaters like Honduran Roads. Usually we give the credit publicly to the Forum Members who helps, by saying their names or usernames. Kind Regards.

    Well, if the case is that simple, then the Fix mentioned in the above posts, has been described, with photos and also a downloadable .pdf file, in post Nº 27 of the following thread: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/114260-oil-catch-can-in-ea82/?p=1030760 Kind Regards.

    If your Subaru still moves on its own and is Driveable, then allow me to contradict your Mechanic, because there is a Chance, small chance, that the culprit of those clouds of smoke, are the Valve seals; because the Early editions of the EA82, had an all-rubber seals that fails like that, while the newer editions, came with valve seals that featured a metallic inner core, much stronger and durable. If the subie still moves and drives, but blowin' such Cloud of Smoke, there is a chance that only will need an engine reseal to be good to go for another decade; those seals must be available at the Subaru Dealer. After all, 1985 is an Early edition, of a good Old school Subaru. Kind Regards.

    Awesome News my Friend, Thanks for Sharing the Happiness!!! Good Luck, Kind Regards.

    This is your Subie's Video:

    The Reason is the "Mickey Mouse Seal" often it seals alright, often not... Kind Regards.

    If you do an Oil Flush using a "Motor Flush" additive, Don't forget to pour it at the place where you'll change the Oil & Filter, just pour it onto the old oil, then start the engine and keep it at idle for around ten minutes, but follow the instructions behind the Bottle; then shut off the engine and immediately, drain all out, change the oil filter. Kind Regards.

    Those Plugs are there for Testing purposes. By the way, your Subie has the "Outboard" A/C compressor, that might be a Panasonic one, instead the most usual "inboard" Hitachi one. I'll like to see Photos of the interior ... Your Subie does look Nice. Kind Regards.
  12. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Regarding the Euro Style tail lights, also I never liked the asymmetrical look. Your Repairs on the floor pan are looking very Clean and Well Done! Kind Regards.

    Let them check if the Fuel pressure is Retained after the engine has been shut off. Yes, you're right... Sad but True.
  14. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Thank you so much for your kind reply. I appreciate that you took your time for a complete explanation. Kind Regards.

    Welcome Craig! The oily smell could be somehow a "normal" thing after a reseal, because usually certain amount of Oil gets to the Exhaust system or its covers, and smells as it get burned, so I don't believe this is related to the Engine Shaking + Power lost during Uphills. Many different things could cause that symptoms, but certainly I would suggest you to start by doing a Test of the Fuel Pressure at the injectors, because the culprit could be a failing fuel pump and / or a clogged fuel filter, which are not delivering the appropriate pressure. However, other causes could be a Failing Sparkplug: I've seen few with broken internal resistors, and also a Failing P.C.V. Valve, which could be Sucking oil on certain angles... In my own humble opinion, I would start by Checking those three. Don't forget to share Photos of your Liberty with us, we love Photos here Good Luck! ... Kind Regards.

    That is a Nice Brumby, I like it and what you've done to it. May I ask more information of such Bash Plate? Was it an Australian-only Feature? Kind Regards.
  17. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Thank you Josh, yes the "KiaStein" is now working Flawlessly, thanks to God! So, we went to test it on a small family Weekend travel, as usual to the Rural areas of Honduras, to a nice Restaurant located on a Mountain, they rents Pony horses, my li'l daughter loves 'em ... the "KiaStein" looks small among those Huge SUV's... Kind Regards.

    Since the above part doesn't go all the way to the Back, reaching the parking brake Handle's base, like the GL's center console, I thought that I could simply place that part in front, instead of the one that I have, then a Floor Mat on the naked Shifter's area, leaving the rear part for the Parking brake, Stock; and finally let the mini rubber boot sit over said floor mat... Being without a center console on the Shifter, will lower the placement for the mini Rubber Boot; but I will miss the Wooden part... Maybe I just modify said wooden part to fit a Leather boot in place of the Mini Rubber boot. Something that fits my Black shifter Knob. ► Edited to add the Photo

    Any idea \ Suggestion / advice is Welcome! I already obtained the part from the Console that goes under the Stereo, From an Automatic Blue Loyale that was on a Local Junk Yard, but it was... ...very damaged, as you can see in the photo.
  21. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    So, my Options are: To change the GL style Center Console using parts from an Automatic / DL interior. Use a Leather Boot, instead of the mini Rubber Boot and keep the Wooden part. Make another wooden part, centered and thinner to be lower...
  22. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    My problem now is with the interior's Aesthetics... The Wooden part I made for the Center Console, doesn't fit anymore. Because the shifter went one inch backwards, the outer Rubber boot is decentered. Also since I welded a half inch longer metal cube, instead the Rubber cube for the Linkage: The already shortened shifter, went down another half inch, making it even Shorter...
  23. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    So the Rubber boot's Metal Plate got centered, again: I had to use Oversized Washers in Front, and drill a tiny hole in the Rear's middle to fix it up with a Screw.
  24. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    The small 45º bent in the back part was needed, because there goes a Wiring Harness, so the angle in fact Protects said harness, instead of getting forced in between the wires.

    After Rustoleum, it was hanging at the Sun for a whole day
