Thanks!... It went ok.....

Yeah, So I went ahead and got one of these pups. Will post on how it goes. quality build etc. etc.

For little more dough.... Might be the way to go.... Anybody got one of these? https://www.ebay.com/itm/173310313540?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D236622%26meid%3Dd64fe4efcd1244abad6ee80ce6f234ed%26pid%3D101195%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D265461050503%26itm%3D173310313540%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv9PairwiseWebMskuAspectsV202110NoVariantSeed%26brand%3DSubaru&_trksid=p2047675.c101195.m1851&amdata=cksum%3A173310313540d64fe4efcd1244abad6ee80ce6f234ed|enc%3AAQAGAAACIBZVppsKd7ns%2F6V0zsrSqiF%2FdU19mgn%2FdPTwQp31iM%2F9arBfaO0jDjbdqFPAwu7G7BJPQp1V4WKqrOSBctdQCaVEKPiknkwgL%2BK0JBg4ynNiNCRQhDjfTKbzEcEGAS6wHt4k34DyF%2FtwXpvxzQbX7lwzV7H2IKQwR5r3dVSthA%2Bh2YwG%2FTnvOhpJdUjayKgeRAucQl%2FSSFZwvWuJMyleqtaSm2xfC43iVTFBt4y9SJ0RgcpTmzrsKdKyxN4kW3KM1RLHp5%2BCnFa72Xk2bLpvo0NW4%2Bgrr6IEID0YP69e96gvdz2yamUr3sIAM6bbdrLRt72FjZcfwLzcRWKQXN0%2FR%2FhKirAQ34yWjXwIEeDZ8ImAyHBT21qDuutpwYAt6oXYHi13VCmNqBH2pSqZfKZ4yLYORSZLptvpM%2BvEv4oGkBoMMldkt39xh9rzWVixHkU7LsQhEPFdmy9iGSxdpTFzNf7dKC%2BSbW6BpyX1gvUg19b6dgJM8AzpdRR5civ6RaY26g9rtdmzaWCyEpWGAQyBDqd%2Be%2B4CGHlz5AuYDF%2B33DYK%2BodqoL5%2Fskp9OXKeaLltuFGUGLPxzGm25cXDghSokmqTreuLHOlBV%2FyeNs6cY4VxzAObphjBRgZnjEfuzuXd6h8h8%2B1zo%2B0b%2FEXjulLWOfHDNNX0vd%2B8r8Cay02RQl8R9Wqp5D7xGdi0kH4v8rHbGdA%2FDdP20hm9sie7S46N4qM%3D|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2047675&epid=2183926058

Yeah, You go through all the trouble, get the car so you can drive it on a long trip and bite tooth and nail. Cuz the radiator is fck'd....(plastics become britte no matter what)..& and will keep breakin.. Yeah, The reason I did this clutch was the last ride was too suspenseful. (road trip to "God's Country") Hoping I got the momentum to get up a hill Tires are not slipping in the sno... but, the clutch is slippin on the hill (go figure) What are recommended brands to replace it with? Thanks, Micky

Yeah, Thanks guys! much appreciated... That did the trick. I had it on this little steep hill in the yard. So lastly, And then I think this clutch story is at a happy ending.... By the way, love the new clutch... It is so nice and smooth. and I can now rev the motor a bit... Sheeze happy to be purring again.... I don't know if there was a clutch return spring ever on this shifter fork..... feels like it would be good to have one.... can anyone send a link to one that would be close to the correct one. thanks, Micky

I noticed that the upper hose, rad outlet... where the hose mounts to radiator is a little compromised. There is supposed to be that little ridge(can think of it sorta like a ferrule) that is on the edge of the mounting nipple which is there to keep a tightened hose from sliding off.. You get my picture, you kno what I am talking about. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81vZI%2B9X2eL._SL1500_.jpg link to,, just be for reference showing what a healthy outlet or inlet to radiator looks like. Mine has somehow disappeared. has broken off. I am wondering what is the plastic that these radiators are made out of? does anybody know? I am guesing ABS plastic?(just Cuz it is black) What I am thinking is that maybe I can use some glue to create a new ridge. for peace of mind. (cuz I have the hose on there now... it is not leaking... just need to Mod this problem... so not to buy another radiator because of this problem... this radiator is in excellent shape... thanks, MIcky

yeah so, I got about a gallon in.. and am working on the second... maybe got half pint in... Motor was pretty empty being that I pulled it to do the clutch.

So I put the motor in and got it running. Current problem being getting the coolant in.... It seems to be air bound.... I did manage to get it so heat is circulating....(hot heat from heater core) Just after a little drive.... lower hose is cold and radiator fans are running... the temp gauge is never high.... It is running at normal operating temps.... Any suggestions would be appreciated.. thanks micky

Glad I changed it. When the seal was removed. inside the two lips of the seal was completely black. and it was hard as a rock. If I find it, the seal.. I will take a picture and post. Don't know what happened to it after I took it out.

Thanks! Yeah, It looks to me like it is leaking. how much is questionable. Nonetheless, it is leaking and has 230K on it. New clutch old weeping seal, not a good match. Ok, I will go put it in now.

Wrist pin access cover thanks!.... an o-ring..... pretty standard on size ( I should find it in my kit of 100 o rings?) Yeah, I got one ........ and then the rear cam plugs.... got them coming... So like you are kinda spooking me on this rear seal....... You don't think it is leaking.? and I shouldn't really change it..... I mean I am all for the minimal approach and if OE is still working then it is better... than redoing it.......... but, the leak sorta looks like a gootee underneath the seal..... AND....... Really the proper way to do that seal........... is it to split the case? the concern is tapping it in and the inner lip sitting properly...... (even if I use that really slippery assembly luber??) Please, chime in.... thanks, Micky

Ok, it is not an advertisement for Master Lok... Seemed like a quick and easy solution.... Looks like I have three things leaking It is a plastic oil separation plate.... got a metal on e to put in and looks like the rear seal is leaking....... so I should replace this as well what is the other thing ?? ??? left of the crank... Also what are the names of the rear seals on the heads? and left is like a Mushroom seal and the other is a flat seal that is bolted in. thanks, Micky

Yeah, You know....it..!!.. and those tools get mighty cold while in your hands, While the Frost(force) comes out of the ground to emanate through your spine via the tail bone..

Ido Thanks!
