Behemoth

Howdy all, I did a search but didn't see what I was looking for. The '91 Legacy 2.2 blew a head gasket. While I've got the heads off, I'm going to replace the valve seals. Will a regular valve spring compressor work? Is a special tool needed for the valve seals? TIA!

I used a 50 watt halogen back-up bulb in one of my vehchles. Works great. There can be a problem with the bulb melting plastic, if left on too long. An LED alternative would be nice but I don't know of any.

People that I have talked to, that have used bed sprays as an exterior paint, say that over time they get dirty and are hard to clean. I knew of one person who used a clear coat over a bed liner with good results. Hammerite might be a good choice. It is textured and has a hard finish. I am bouncing around the idea of painting the lower half of my Legacy. It has quit a few rock dings but no rust to speak of.

Thanks. I'll start looking around.

I just picked up a '91 Legacy. My third Suby and a great car. :cool: The only thing I utterly despise is the automatic shoulder belts. Who's brilliant idea was this?? Anyway, I was contemplating converting to manual belts. I did a search but all I came up with was a post on bbs.legacycentral.org board about Canadian manual belts. Having next to no access to Canadian vehicles, will any other seat belts work? Thanks for any information.

Sounds like the solenoid contacts on the starter may need to be replaced. My '87 wagon had that problem. Got to be a real pain at -20 below. Edit. Typed faster than brain worked.
