Iv'e always gone with flat to pan never had a leak, 7 ea82's

Same here, passenger side intake gasket, (of course I changed both), Look carefully there are several possibilites. heater hoses, carb preheater hose, temp sender, etc.

I must disagree, Our work vehicles (not subes) are 2006 models that have over 150K already, That would be 1.5 M in ten years.Though I am sure they will be replaced at 300K (company policy).

I would contact Subaru if you have proof, They may pay to use it for advertisment!

I have seen a BLACK residue from pennzoil, But will not use it in any of my engines (EA82,GMC 350,Pontiac 400), Castrol GTX or Valvoline racing oil, My faves!

Look's nice! I agree with 86 Bratman, May be able to loosen clutch cable for a bit, Then replace when ready.

Purolater!!! Actually had a fram twist off it's mounting plate once when trying to remove it, Never again!

Yeah Sub's ARE possesive! it's the new computer for sure! Seriously, I'll try the sender out of my 86 GL and see Thank's

Hi guy's Good to be back after my computer broke almost two months ago! Question, My 91 Loyale with about 50k on rebuild, Has just lost half my oil press. all the sudden! Was about 45-48 psi at 3200 rpm now about 25. tried new filter and oil no luck, Could a gasket or "o" ring in the oil pump have blown? Thank's

It's good to be back ! My 4 year old computer died, So I had to suffer withdrawl till I could get a NEW one (almost TWO month's). A 3ghz duo core!!! if Only I could get a new WRX for the same price! Ahh It's good to be back.

Easy answer with ANY car (that uses a dist,) Pull the cap to see direction that the rotor spins, Rotating cap the OPPOSITE direction advances timing.

I use hi-temp RTV on my covers and a gasket,No leaks As for the oil in the intake, I agree that it sounds like a clogged PCV

Too bad you could'nt find an ugly old truck or something and set it upside down on her precious driveway!

If you turned the distributer when you replaced the cap, If you can turn it by hand without loosening the hold down screws you may have. To check it you'll need to get ahold of a timing light

Many thanks on the belt life issue! someone should just sale an aftermarket conversion to chain or gears!!

Can you really get belts (even without a socket) for $18??? Please tell where!

I really like the idea of using tie wraps! Then a pair of dykes with your 12mm socket and your good to go. In spite of the convenience of running with no covers, We are all obviously hands on car owners. My point being (as Baccaruda mentioned) how much time saved is worth the risk of a MAJOR injury if you, your clothing, hair. Or ANYTHING gets between a belt and pulley? These aren't smooth belts on a spring loaded tensioner like a serpentine, Tight non giving toothed belts will take a thumb or whatever faster than you can realize you put it where you shouldn't while setting timing or any other adjustments that require a running engine. Any one here who HASN'T rub up against a hot pipe or lost some knuckle on an alternator fan etc. While your looking at the tool in the OTHER hand? And if someone ELSE is helping or supervising (like guy's around open hoods do). Can you spell "lawsuit"? Not to mention the chance of anything besides a rag falling in there might fling into your face or your radiator!! Why not the best of both worlds and use the zip ties? On the other hand what's life without a little risk?

In California you get NO slack due to faulty speedo.

Any notice the rusty white GL wagon jamming through the snow. with a jump ramp welded to the front. That is "flashed " during the discovery channel's "stunt junkies" ad ? I did not see the show that the stunt was in. Maybe a snow boarder jumping a moving car for ????? Anyone catch the episode?

I replaced a rear wheel bearing on my Loyale last week, the bearing plus inner and outer seals, came to about $70 tax incl. A local garage pressed the old out and the new in for $45, (took the rear swingarm to them). Managed to do the R&R without special tools, But it sure was hard loosening the nut on the bottom of the shock (after breaking it loose, I noticed that it was spot welded to the swingarm on 3 corners of the nut!!) Next time I'll know to loosen the BOLT, Not the nut!! LOL Works great, took about 90 minutes to disassemble, about 60 to reassemble. (note- NAPA had the seals for less than 1/2 the price of Kragen. Same make.) Be sure to put the spring washer on the spindle facing correctly (it's marked "outside" after cleaning the dirt off), This was the cause of the bearing failing. A brake job last October, The washer was reinstalled backward. So I saved $185 from the $300 quote I was given by two shops.

I regularly made a 100 mile round trip to Yreka Ca. from Dunsmuir Ca. Driving the speed limit on I-5 (65-70) It took 3 gallon's to make the trip. I did this every day for 40 days. windows up to, down back. no AC, easy on the accelerator pedal. With 91 Loyale 5sp. well maintained. This would suggest 33.3 MPG. highway

Can also be caused by a bad relay under the dash, left of steering column.

Glad it's fixed!

Doesn't K&N guaranty 10-15% improvement in mileage/performance?

Toluene is safe to run, Race enthuiusts use it as an anti-knock/octane booster, Yes it works. It is pure hydrogen and carbon. I do not remember the correct ratio to mix. But it should be somewhere on web, A chemistry site would be the way to go, as opposed to a "snake-oil" website.
