    so i have a 86 gl wagon 5spd fwd with a blown motor and i need a new one bad. the car has been sitting for over 3 years now since it blew and i need to get it going so i can have a reliable commuter. any input on if this motor would work will be appreciated, or if anyone knows of a relatively cheap ea82 motors in wa i would be interested in that also since i just need to get the car going and dont know enough about the ej22 swap to feel comfortable to do it myself

     

  2. so i had to have my 86 gl wagon fwd towed today because it finally gave up the go. it had been makin noise outta the front drivers side wheel for a week and i thought i could gimp it along till this weekend when i get paid to do the braks since it sounded like the pad was really low, but when i went to go up a hill the car was going then all of a sudden the speedo and rev just jumped up like it wasnt having to power anything anymore and my car coasted to an awesome stop. i put it into gear and it made a horrible grinding noise out of the front drivers side tire so i set the brake and popped the hood to see that the axle was spinning but the tire was not, even the axle nut on the outside of the rim was spinning:eek: so my question is this a classic wheel bearing failure or is it something more?

  3. yea unfortunatly they dont list the carbed version under the vaccum section and the actual carb section (2-6) is completly gone but o well at least now i have everything else but here are colored pics of what im trying to figure out so hopefuly this can help me get this fixed finally haha. i colored the lines so they are the same colors in all the pics. also i have no idea what the purple one is below the carb???

  4. so for whatever reason i moved the car forward in gear about half a foot and it starts up just fine now. with that being said i know for a fact that the vacuum lines on the passenger side of the engine bay are not hooked up right so i need some pictures. i have been searching on here for a while and i cant find anything relating to what i need and the stupid sticker under the hood is useless so any help would be appreciated

  5. Hey i just finished putting my gl wagon back together after a engine reseal and now its not wanting to do anything when i turn the key on. i am able to turn the hazards on and the radio gets power but the interior lights dont turn on or the gauge cluster, and the windows dont work. also im not getting the tick tick sound from under the hood which you get just from turning the key to the on position. and obviously when i try to turn the key to turn it over it does nothing. also i have checked all the dash fuses and they are all good and i checked the 3 cord fuses above the ignitor and they are good. so with that being said does anyone have any suggestions as to what i could have missed or is anyone be willing to come down to the orting (5 minutes from puyallup) area so i can stare at their working motor to see what i missed. ill throw in some gas money for your troubles. anyway i work nights so it would be nice if we could meet between 9am-1am (somewhere in that window) if somebody is willing to come down. call me if you can anytime it doesnt matter 253 380 3250

  6. i have seen both done before on different cars (non subarus) and personally out of all the ones ive seen it looks the best if you do the pillers also especially if you have tinted windows. I think it looks best when you do have your windows tinted but thats just my personal opinion your may be different

  7. So i have been blindly going about my business for the past couple of days while freezing my but off to finally have a light bulb go off in my head that hey my subaru still has water in it instead of anti-freeze..... Now granted its been leaking coolant from a bad rad plug and maybe head gaskets and thats why its not running anti-freeze since i planned on doing a engine reseal soon.(just got the parts the other day) So i went out and tried starting it and the water pump was frozen in place. :( Went back out later on in the day and it started up fine and i let it get to normal temp and held it at about 2.5k idle and i noticed no leaks or any water under the car. Now granted i know there were major air pockets in the cooling system since it had been about a week prior since i had filled the cooling system. That being said since there were no leaks and the car ran fine for 1/2 hour is it safe to say that the engine is still safe with no damage from the expanding ice? Or is there other problems that I am unaware of?
