....& then I dream about the test drive, the entire following evening/morning. My subconscious is into OT for the week!

That’s great, you guys truly are The Subaru Alliance. Where was TheTravelingSubaruShow a couple of years ago, I could have used your assistance. It's really nice that you guys give your time & skills like that. Its rare that people will give without expecting anything in return, you guys should be commended.

Cool...I've never seen a 360 in real life!

I lose sleep bacause I caught word of a low mileage vintage Subaru for a great price.

Tim, I hope you realize, you'll be a Subaru Freak by the time you return home! Once a Subaru Freak, always a Subaru Freak! You have a great cast of characters! Have fun....I want to see this Documentary on HBO!

I'm a ea81t & ej22t guy. I never had an ea82t apart. I would ask skip, he seems to know a great deal about ea82t's. Like Archie said, it could be timing, I hate to see you take head off if you don't need to.

What car are you having trouble with, the 90, 87, or 84?

If stuck valve is truely the issue, a bad valve seat or bad lifter/lash adjuster is likely the culprit.

seldom does a cyl read 0, sounds like your intake valve is stuck open.

There is an o-ring in the fuel port on the head, could that be dry rotted? Subaru still has the o-rings in stock.

I have the white in my ea81t, Man...no wonder your having fuel issues Mick. These turbo pushrod engines are totally different beasts, ya know?

Unless your planning to remove engine than there is no need to buy full kit. Although sloopy work with engine in car, a head gasket job can be done. You'll only need a few gaskets if performing job w/ engine in. I only use Subaru Gasket: 1. I only live 8 blocks away from dealer 2. Gaskets are not much more $ than aftermarket. 3. Turbo applications are different & local aftermarket store always want to give me N/A

Cole, you got mail! I'm selling my 2 turbo cars, just tired of looking at them, need a change, there both waiting for tax returns! So I'll be looking for a different SOOB soon. Is turbo brat worth looking at? Jay

Cole, Where is this place! I need to check out the turbo brat before the vultures swoop in. Jay

Eventually I will convert to pushbutton on-the-fly 5speed. This is the best performance mod I can give this old turbo pushrod engine!

Mick, Post a picture, if I don't know, a friend of mine has work at W&L subaru for 25 years, he'll know. You got the digidash? no fair! Jay

Cool, we don't have many NA xt owners on the board. Welcome! My neighbor has one w/ a rice muffler on his, you can hear him coming 2 blocks away, you can tell its a subaru, they all have a distinct sound, even the new ones. I feel your pain, my ea81t has an 3at, it really holds the car back!

I stick w/ small JY, they appreciate the business. There a ton of them in central PA. Harry's is over-rated! Alex, did you ever see all the beer cans in the yard cars, drinking on the job is one of there bennies.

Yeah, like no rubber chickens! Although take some bowling pins incase you need to perform a juggling act!

Mick, A regular non-turbo xt has same injectors, I believe their is a few more applications, but I can't remember which ones. Go to partsamerica.com & cross part #'s. Subaru still has them in-stock but there really expensive, if I remember correctly they were like, $125ish. If you have trouble finding some, I know of an old NA XT in a friends JY, but I'd have to pull it myself. That I will not do until weather breaks. These injectors are (all-in-one) the hoses are permanently connected to the injector & its a PITA to get hoses off the fuel rail being careful not to slit hose. BTW whats wrong with your injectors? Jay

I was wondering how long it would take you to go get it. Give us some good drama, Miles! Can't wait to here the stories.

Cool picture, here in icey north east, we have salted roads all winter long! I usually take car for a good run in the rain, if no rain in site I hit the car wash. An 84 subaru can disintegrate in one or two winters if you don't do salt maintenance.
