92loyale

M10X1.25 Just had to buy some myself.

Check all your vacuum lines! That's where I would start.

Thank you all for your input! Seems as though when I put the engine back in and than the radiator I wasn't paying attention or something. The rad wasn't put all the way in the lower area. I unbolted it than got it into the correct place. Well, off to the store for some oil and a new filter. Shawn, were you by any chance in Colorado Springs over the summer at the pick and pull yard?

I'm going to go check that here in a few minutes. I just put the engine back in and than the rad. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Although when I pulled the rad out, there was no lower mounts. Just the two screws on the top the were holding it up. Oh, it did rub a hole in the filter.

So, tonight at work I notice I'm dripping some oil. Well, I look down and don't see anything unusual so I look under the car. My darn oil filter is rubbing on the electric fan bracket. What the heck could have caused this? The radiator hasn't moved. I;m thinking the tranny mounts? Maybe they went bad allowing the engine to tilt up? Not sure. Anyways, just out of curiosity I was online looking up parts, No listing for tranny mounts? ODD.... 1992 Loyale 5spd S/R.

Um, it's not just the internet. ALLDATA has it wrong too. I just had the same problem after putting my engine back in. Yup, would only kind of run, than back fire and well, nothing...So, yeah, don't trust everything you see. Always check for yourself!

:burnout:Well, Got it running warm! It's nice and toasty! I pulled the hoses, back flushed them, than hooked them back up. I than rinsed all the coolant out and filled it with water and a prestone radiator flush. It said to run the car 10 minutes but I ran and errand so about 30 minutes. Once I got home I started to drain it imediatly. I than opened up only one side of the heater core. I turned my compuressor down to 10PSI and started to blow air into the system. Good god you should have seen all the crap blowing out the radiator. I than filled it with more water and repeated that process once again. After that everything flowed very clean. So, I filled with a 50/50 mix. Yup, nice and HOT now! Thank You all for the help and Ideas!!!!

Well, Now that I've driven it a little more I think it's a combination of bad thermostat and clogged heater core. If I let the car just sit and run long enough it does warm up and stay fairly warm. I can turn the heat on and it's pretty darn hot. But, only for a minute or so. Than it starts to cool down. At this point the gauge doesn't really drop, not untill I actually start driving than the gauge really drops. So, I am thinking I need to "flush" out the core and get a new thermostat. Any best methods of flushing the heater core work better than others?

I will go cover it with a little cardboard right now and see if it helps tonight at work. If not than maybe it's the leaking air box? Maybe I should call my local Subi dealer and get a new one. I replaced it just a few weeks ago...Might have gotten a bad one.

Well, just got back in from washing and checking the blend door. It seems okay. Moves to it's fullest "open and closed" position with and without the cable attached. So, I checked the airbox behind the glove box. I believe it's leaking. I can feel cold air from there. Would it be cold air or warm air blowing out of there? The cold part kind of throws me off. If this is the case that I need to reseal it, how would I go about doing that? Thank you all for your help too....Oh, BTW. The hose between the thermostat is very warm...And the one from the lower part of the radiator to the pump is much cooler. Maybe that info could be important? Both heater core hoses are about the same temp and about the same temp as the thermo to radiator hose.

Well, I must say I have had a great experience with my EA82 Loyale. I have a 1992 With all the options minus a D/R trans. With 250,000 miles it's still going strong. Just last week I pulled the engine due to a cracked clutch fork. Other than that the thing has been awsome. I did what was suggested above and replaced all the seals, water pump, tune up items etc. Now, it's running even better. I average 28 MPG delivering pizza! I couldn't ask for more nor would I find anything out there better for my job. that kind of gas mileage, 4WD, the space it has, and just fun to drive out of anything else on the road. That being said. With 250K miles it still has to OG alternator ( think it's starting to go ) and the OG Fuji starter. Yeah, I was a little supprised to find this out as I'm the second owner and with that many miles.

So....as some of you may know I just pulled the engine on my 92 Loyale S/R 4WD 5 SPD. I thought it was the clutch....Well not quite....The fork cracked. Anyways, before and still now, I don't have much heat. I even took the mechanical fan off and left it off! So, I'm not sure why? I tested the hoses going into the and out of the heater core. They are about the same temp. with the heater fan on and off. If the car just sits and runs forever the electric fan will switch on and off. I don't think the heater core is plugged. I say this because as I'm driving down the road the gauge goes down to bairly above the mark after the C. I touch the radiator and it is cool after a drive too....It only gets "HOT" after it sits and runs for sometime. So, any ideas? It does have a new thermostat, which seems to be working?@?!! All new coolant and oil....SO, any ideas? Sorry this is so long. Trying to cover everything.

I would have to say pass as well! Just pulled the oil pan and valve covers on my 260K EA82 and no sign of any kind of metal shaving what so ever. I was actually a little supprised but I guess using Mobil oil and filter every 5K miles might have something to do with that. I would find a different engine! Could be some metal from bearings which would be real bad!!!!

Well got the engine pulled....It's sitting a stand right now as I'm figuring I'm going to go ahead and replace the oil pan gasket and valve cover gaskets. Well, the clutch actually still looks okay. That fork snapped!!! :mad: So, I have one on the way from http://www.subarupartsforyou.com Great web site. You could damn near replace your entire Subie at this site....Anyways, Now.....I'm just woundering, should I say heck with it and go ahead and replace the clutch as well. It still looks good! And doesn't slip at all....What do you all think?

And these dimensions are the same as my clutch for my 92 Loyale..... 225MM 1" shaft 24 spline etc. etc. etc. So, what u are saying is that an EJ clutch would be the same as a 4WD ea?
