my '84 hatch...
So your experience is that it is important to match the lift of the rest of the car, with the rear diff? I haven't wheeled mine yet but I only dropped it 2'' on a 4'' lift. I haven't had any problems on the road but like I said I haven't really tested it yet. Just wondering what your input is?! Thanks!

Oil in spark plug hole
bratman18 replied to Chip's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYeah I know what I meant but couldn't think of the actual name...If you pull the valve covers to replace them you will end up replacing the valve covers as well and they all come in the same kit so I figured he would get what I was saying.

Tranny input shaft bearing DIY. Difficulty?
bratman18 replied to wavekayaker's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSounds to me like its either the throw out bearing or the bearing in the flywheel. Thats what mine did on my car....push clutch in and the noise stops. They are both a lot easier and cheaper to replace than the input shaft bearing. So hopefully for your sake I'm right! I'm sure someone else will have an opinion as well.

Oil in spark plug hole
bratman18 replied to Chip's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNot really. It means that your valve cover gaskets are leaking. There are actually rubber seals that go around the spark plug openings in the valve cover and that means they are leaking. It can and will cause your car to skip and sputter at times so You should probably change your valve cover gaskets, plugs and might as well change wires too!

Retaining stock PWR Steering on SPFI/EA81 conversion?
Yeah I looked and I don't have any real good pics so I will try to take some and post them. But just to let you know...For the rear mount I used the two bolt holes on the back of the motor on that side on the top...then I used the stock bolt holes in the front but I cut the front mount and welded it back together at an angle, so that the pump would line up with the belt path. The resevoir is actually at a little bit of an angle.

Heater Core Failure
bratman18 replied to Albamadave's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHell the orange stuff even causes problems in the Gm's and dodges! That stuff is junk and I would never use it, I've seen way to many problems caused by it!

fuel smell and surging idle issue
bratman18 replied to bridorf's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAlso check the gas filler tube, I have seen many of these leak and you can't really see the leak because there is a cover over it and they fill up with road dirt and when they leak you can really smell gas. So its worth checking it out

bratman18 replied to soobyfan's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYeah it sucks mine has 130,xxx miles and leaking out of the passenger side head gasket. Other than that I love the car but I'm not lookin forward to replacing them!!! I just keep driving it and checking the coolant level a lot!!

EA81 SPFI Conversion is Great!
Yeah I have the same conversion that a friend of mine did and yeah its great!! My friend did a really clean job so it looks completely stock too! It always starts and it never stalls or runs bad. And it never stalls when at extreme angles, its great. But, I still wish I had more power...The EJ swap would be even better!

rear brakes not lasting long?
bratman18 replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYeah never! I've seen this on more than one occasion! It used to piss me off when someone would bring there car to my friend and I to work on, and they would have just had work done at the dealer....except for the fact that there was no evidence of the work!

P0852 Neutral Switch Input Circuit High
bratman18 replied to Strakes's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMy mom had hers read at a chevy dealership and they read the codes cleared them and researched the code for her which was dealer specific all for free so thats why I said check around but its probably easier to just go to a subaru dealer.
