How many steps to a fully seated torque converter
ocei77 replied to l75eya's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXLift it as you turn and apply inward pressure. When fully seated it should be out about 1/4 inch from the housing. O.

2007 Outback stalling
ocei77 replied to 89Ru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf it's leaking oil from under the timing cover it can only be the cam or crank seals. I've routinely used Fel pro for years and have never had issues with them. Can't speak for other brands. Check #4 plug for oil. Also remove the cam sensor and make sure it is not covered in oil and dirt giving bad signal. Check the crank sensor for all the teeth .

2007 Outback stalling
ocei77 replied to 89Ru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCheck blowby on oil rings. After warmup hold clean paper in exhaust and see if you get oil.

Perplexed
ocei77 replied to ocei77's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXFinally got around to checking the timing. Spot on. Checked continuity for both ends of cam sensor wires. Good. Did not get to the ECU side. Suggestions?

Intake manifold gasket cracked through

ocei77 replied to ocei77's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHaven't done all the suggestions yet, so that is the reason I have been slow to update. Immediate return of code YES. Cam and crank sensors are fully tightened. The cam sensor has been cleaned with carb cleaner, will do crank tomorrow. All installed and tight. I half checked the timing belt ( only checking the alignment of Bank two and the crank mark. Will pull all to check that all three are aligned.)

Car 2005 Legacy. CA emissions. Short block from 2003 recently swapped. Got P340 cam sensor code. Never had before swap. Pulled connector to check for 5 volts. No 5 volts, but the car started and runs w/o a hiccup!!!! Where do I start?

1999 Subaru Forester no crank no start
ocei77 replied to Cblaze's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAlso could be security lockout. Is there a small black button to the left of the steering wheel at the lower part of the panel? If so, you have to hold it in when turning the key to start. O.

'06 OBW head bolt torquing?
ocei77 replied to jonathan909's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCan't answer that question, but I have used the specs as I gave them for 2 different SOHC blocks. One from a 2005 which was Fed emissions, but I have an 05 with the the CA emissions. Put my heads on it and ran it for at least 30K, but the rings were going bad and I was burning a lot of oil. Finally got another block with a little over 100K and again put my heads on it. Running like a top, A little over 2k since install. O.

'06 OBW head bolt torquing?

'06 OBW head bolt torquing?
ocei77 replied to jonathan909's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX2) Tighten the cylinder head bolts. (1) Apply a coat of engine oil to washers and bolt threads. (2) Tighten all bolts to 29 Nm (3.0 kgf-m, 21.4 ft-lb) in alphabetical sequence. (3) Retighten all bolts to 69 Nm (7.0 kgf-m, 51 ft-lb) in alphabetical sequence. (4) Back off all bolts by 180q in the reverse order of installation, and back them off again by 180q. (5) Tighten all bolts to 49 Nm (5.0 kgf-m, 36 ftlb) in alphabetical sequence. (6) Tighten all bolts by 80 — 90q in alphabetical sequence. (7) Tighten all bolts by 40 — 45q in alphabetical sequence. CAUTION: Do not tighten the bolts more than 45q. (8) Further tighten the bolts (A) and (B) by 40 — 45q FSM : Index of /Auto/Japan/Subaru (jdmfsm.info) Basically after you tighten them all to 36 ft lbs. You do the angle tightening of 90 deg. Then ALL for 45 deg. Then ONLY the center 2 for an additional 45 deg. O.

Engine identification
ocei77 replied to dogwoodangel's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNo they are not. Some are threaded and some were a press fit into the manifold. Take a picture and go to the auto parts store. Not hard to match.

I need your advise and opinions please
ocei77 replied to Bob Nieuwsma's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX99 was a transition year. IIRC they went from a three part bulk harness to a two harness unit. The temp sensor also changed location and connector So you will need the harness that matches the body and that intake. The ect can be swapped as necessary to match.

Researching flutter
ocei77 replied to ocei77's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDon't know which axle they were on. Just that the installer could not get them to balance they were so out of round. Placed both on rear until I changed them. Seems like wheel sensors threw an ABS code as it couldn't figure out what was what. The ABS fault after a time put it into limp mode. See DTC 0500 for vehicle speed sensor O.

Researching flutter
ocei77 replied to ocei77's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXUpdate!!!!!! Earlier fixes were just coincidental, Issue returned and after more research, the car was going into limp mode and the fuel was being cut. Could not figure it out. Recently had an unusual flat where the tire had to be replaced. Bought a new set as they were at the end of their life anyway. Two of the rims were so out of round that they could not be balanced. Finally got two new rims of same style and switched the tires. Issue solved!!!! It seems the wheel sensors told the ecu that things were off and put into limp mode. In other words balance the tires. Hope this helps the next person.

Wheel hub stuck
ocei77 replied to Wizard's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe e brake is held on by a u clip on the back side where it goes into the bracket. Loosen all the interfering bolts and the 4 14mm that hold the hub on. Once all that is loose the hammer will knock it loose and it will basically fall off. You will find it extremely hard to press a new bearing on the car. If all this is too much pay someone to replace the whole spindle. O.

Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement 2001 Legacy
ocei77 replied to Norm Shea's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXReplace the hub. RockAuto. Once you remove all the interfering bolt attachments ( lateral link, strut mount, sway bar link upper transverse link and axle nut)there are four bolts that mount it to the hub. You won't need to remove the parking cable. A hard rap should dislodge the hub and if you want to replace a rusted backing plate, now is the time. Of course you have to remove the caliper and bracket. Once you look at it, it's not as hard as it sounds. Just time consuming. Jack the car as high as you can and use stands. Spray with pb the night before if you can. You really need an impact gun, but you could get by w/o it. Definitely 1/2' drive Need 19mm sockets and wrench, plus the 32mm for the axle nut. Break that loose before you raise it, unless you have a heavy duty impact. Plus14, 17 ,10 and 12mm sockets. A long extension to pass through the outer part of the spindle to get to the caliper bolts. Don't forget the anti sieze on install O.
