  1. Also make sure your green test connectors are not plugged in under the dash. This would make the fans cycle also. O.
  2. I know the issue. I just use a 3/8 socket with a breaker bar or an adapter to the 3/8 from 1/2. Whichever was handier at the moment. Generally the 1/2 adapter so I can use my impact wrench to wind the bolts out. O.
  3. For most drivers D & S are for bling purposes only. We don't ( can't) drive non turbo cars to get any real benefit. If you are in the mind set to just go for it, I'd go with reputable types from e bay sellers, ie: No unheard of brands. O.
  4. use a 3/8 socket and ext with the adapter to 1/2 unless you have a 3/8 size breaker bar. O.
  5. Replacement of betl etc is 10 yrs /100K mileage. Whichever comes first. Insofar as the tensioner, is yours one or two piece? If two piece, replace the roller only. O.
  6. To add. Replace the springs (dealer only part) for the throw out bearing and closely examine the fork for any cracks, if so replace it. O.
  7. If you don't have it, download the FSM. Search the sticky above for FSM. When you look at the crank there should be a group of 5 letters, ranging from A to maybe D. Each letter represents a tolerance range. Attached is the engine spec sheet JIC. A is std. ,B is .03,C is .05 and D is.25. Should also be a group of 4 letters for the rod bearings. Haven't been able to decipher those. Unfortunately cranks are not generally all one size from the factory. You can buy separate main bearings from Subaru, but not rod bearings. If it is within your budget, would be easier to have them all machined to the same size. O. general description.pdf
  8. The 99 2.2 uses an AFR O2 sensor in the front. If this is going bad, your mileage will suffer. First tho, do the usual. Plugs are a must. Then see how it does. O.
  9. 95 FSM says 2,1 psi for activation of light. Data in lubrication section on specifications page.(last pdf in section) O.
  10. Do search for FSM in the FAQ sticky, or just scroll down. They are there. O.
  11. If the engine is running ok otherwise, I'd just pull the engine to replace the separator plate, which is probably what's leaking, if the leak is from the rear. The 2.2 is a good option if you HAVE to replace the engine. O.
  12. You need to tighten the bolts further. When just finger tight the last one or two will now be sticking up. Have had this happen a few times. O.
  13. I've never heard of anyone removing the freeze plugs just to remove coolant! Why bother? Any small amount that remains is still antifreeze. Buy a radiator flush kit from your auto store, remove t stat from housing, reattach and add a garden hose, if you have somewhere safe for the water to drain and not create a hazard. If not, then just add through upper radiator into the block. The weeping of this series of EJ is a known issue. Subaru just says to add the "conditioner" (aka stop leak) and monitor your fluid levels. O.
  14. No, another moderator moved it to the FAQ. I didn't realize just anyone could add to a sticky. If you will note, this was originally posted on 12/12/13. O.
  15. LGT with vented rotors, require 16" rims. Brackets etc will fit, but new pad type also. Go to http://opposedforces.com/parts and after you get to the part number, click on it then go to usage information. It'll tell you what other cars used that part. Even then, sometimes there is a different part number because of a mfg change, but still interchanges. Try your local auto store and see what they have for interchange. O.
  16. 14" tires etc HAD their place. I like to stop and bigger brakes etc require larger wheels. I use 17" for warm weather and 16" for snow. To each their own. O.
  17. There is a transfer bar that has come loose. IIRC it's held on by a c clip. See my post on FSM. Download yours and go to the body section. Also, www.opposedforces.com/ click on Subaru parts catalog, then go to your vehicle,etc O.
  18. Not an expert in this, but the only real issue I see is the 06 was dbw, necessitating the swap of the engine harness. Since you have to do this, the AVLS sensors in the heads will now match. O.
