I am doing a timing belt service on my 95 outback [220k miles] with all used parts cherry picked from wrecks at my local Tear-A-Part. I realize some of you probably think this isn't too bright, but it works for me as long as I'm careful. I've found older Legacys that obviously had extensive recent service before giving up the ghost.
I have a new looking water pump with a tighter bearing than my other pumps, and wonder if I should try to use it, maybe loosen it up with some "water pump lubricant"? Any input appreciated from this new user in SLC.
