Heres mine. Still doesnt work lol

Ill try the engine lift idea this weekend. It was some guy named Pete in PA's. Said he bought it from his dad. Hadnt ran in a year and started wiht a jump start lol.

SO I bought this 1987 Subaru RX for $400 and used about $200 in gas getting the thing and dropping it off at my garage. The intake manifold has a blown gasket somewhere... the thing smokes like no tomorrow but only once it warms up. I only have 1 day a week to really work on this thing, that is saturday. I have tags for it, and jsut bought new tires. Should I sell it or can someone help me out here.

The motor with the rat turds isnt mine lol. Tim if you wana do the Headgaskets too its fine with me... Ill be going back up there in 1-2 weeks.

bah but the head gasket wasnt blown

i think the bugger is just doomed lol. im kinda scared to see what it looks like under that manifold:Flame:

Well I couldnt figure out how to check for CEL's any insight on this?

OK so Im stumped. Everytime I start the RX now it has a ticking noise somewhere in the engine bay, it has a Check Engine Light, and it smoke. Today I started it up, no CEL, no ticking, no smoke!!! Wait... 25seconds later, whats that ticking noise? Turn around and look at all the grey smoke! Im lost on where to start. Advise? Smoked in the garage, dont think it was coolant because it didnt burn our eyes. Just smelled like death lol. Also gona be taking my intake manifold off... anyone point me in the direction on how to go about that?

OK, so I bought the RX on 10/1/07. I filled out the title correctly, and the previous owner filled it out incorrectly. Attempt one to register car: Drove 60 miles to DMV, to be told the title must be notarized. The title did not say this (title was 20yrs old.) So due to state law, I went back to where I purchased the car (5 hour drive one way- PA) to get the title noterized at a bank. We corrected the title, crossed out the 2 incorrect lines, and had the noter stamp both. This is what the DMV in WV told us to do. Attempt 2 to register car: Take title to DMV, they say they cant accept it because lines are crossed out and they would have never told us to do that. If you took at it, you can tell why it was crossed out and it would make sense. So now we're approaching out 30 day period. They want us to get a new title, and do all that again. Any words of wisdom before I sell the damn RX?

So the wing on my RX is broken off from the trunk, only the rear 3 parts and not the front. Advise on how to fix this?

I cant really seem to find any info on this... I know the EA hasta be alot different simply because the plugs are on the top and not the side. But I was wondering if it were possible to make a hybrid out of both motors?

Ok then scrap that idea.... What should I do for an exhaust upgrade then?

Can someone direct me to what size hosing to buy? Im still not convinced thats the only problem along with the turbo leak. There is smoke that comes out of the turbo and minor that comes out the exhaust, cant really tell what it is. The exhaust side of the turbo seems to have what looks like an oil stain on it. But its defiantly not black smoke....

I reved it standing in front of it and got sprayed in the face with coolant. Its coming the top of the motor, under around the center of the intake manifold.

Well I moved the car into the driveway today (steep uphill) and smelt something horrible and looked at the cloud of smoke I was making. Im not sure it was coolant, could have been the seafoam in the gas working its way through the 2yr old stale gas. So I poped the cap of the radiator, heard a gurling noise as some spilled out, and was greated by foam. Only about the size of a pencil eraser.
