Since my other thread got locked by two members here.. I just wanted to say I got the plug out! Ha.. I thought the gearwrench 14mm socket which was almost $10 was going to do the trick.. turned out that harbor freight's 14mm too it out without rounding off the hex part. Happy it's finally out

I FOUND the door lock timer!! It was in a box of odds & ends

I know but the way they worded it had me just order it from another dealer much closer to me.

ugh none of it was in stock including the PCV hose.. I asked Subaru parts for you if they had it but they said no.. being as I place orders from them a lot the way they worded in the email was like they did not want to deal with placing the order so I ended up just ordering it from a dealer that's about 30 miles closer.. Yeah that's right I drove 30 miles one way to give this business.. Hopefully this is not going to be something common.

Oh wait never mind the part number you listed is right

That can't be right.. because it's saying I need 3 of them but the way it shows it in the picture it's just not right, the O-ring for the FPR is on the pipe it's self and a smaller diameter. I'm seeing 16699AA000 for the FPR O-ring for the connection to the fuel rail.

The IM is from a EJ25D

I took my fuel rails off to clean my IM and all.. anyways I have the part numbers for the 3 little small O-rings and so on.. but on the rail is a larger O-ring that I can't find listed on opposed forces I wonder if anyone knows?

I've got some saying I should use a timesert and here saying helicoil :-/ the bolt length is around 68 mm.

Man I keep forgetting to update here lol, a bit has happened.. over late summer I got bad rod knock, pretty much everything was fine until I got off the ramp and clutched in and the car stalled.. fast forward 3 months later I'm still down due to weather and needing a friend to help me go grab a engine.. So I got the engine (EJ22) in which has 192K on it but since I was doing a turbo project next year I started doing a bit of small things, I will be using the Cometic gaskets as I will be bolting my EJ25D heads to the EJ22 they are the only gaskets that have the correct coolant ports. I will be sending my injectors out to be cleaned and flow tested.. meanwhile I sand blasted the coolant crossover pipe and used my leftover powder I have from my wheels and I sand blasted the intake manifold and used the color hotsy red winkle finish for the color. also sand blasted the battery hold down and powder coated that as well, and replaced both engine mounts. Things went smooth until the stupid coolant bolt snapped when screwing in.. by the time I knew something was wrong and tried to back out it just snapped This time I will be using a oil pressure sensor this time around. OH! and I replaced the stock shifter, I still have the shifter from my 95 Legacy which got totaled and the shifter from the Outback.. I ended up getting a shifter from a '05 WRX I just need to replace the shift boot next, which I will do at a later date when it warms up a bit more.. I sure do miss my car

Slowly mounting stuff back on

Yeah I have a bolt size template finally became useful.. I agree so far M6 x 1.00 However it seems no helicoil fine threaded inserts for this size? I've already tried vice grips heat and oil.. and like I said before I have a wielder but seeing as this is the motor I'm working on to replace my blown EJ25.. Unless I can carry a long block EJ22 about 2 miles it's going to be impossible to doing wielding in a parking lot. I'm just going to drill it out in the morning.

Being as it's from a yard I was not going to take any risks.

Anyone know the size of the bolts? Why not just put a stud in that area so it wont happen again?

The heads are getting switched out so no worry about that.. besides all valves are closed. Will vice grips really work? I assume the threads are mangled?

Opps forgot the pictures

How do you remove it? Funny thing was I made sure it was not cross threaded but it started binding up well before it made contact with the pipe.

the ECU uses the VSS without it the car rev limit is around 4K it would stuck if it's really stripping so be limited to 4K

What size wires does the stock Subaru have for wires from the battery to the alt? I just picked up 20' of wielding wire 4 gauge to re-do my battery cables on my car, but my sound system will be simple.. a single sub and single amp for door speakers.. I don't plan on going anything over 500W.. may not be 400W.

Yes that's the VSS

Yes powder coated I have at least like 2 pounds of powder here I did my summer wheels, just trying to use the rest of it.. I will be doing the PS and Alt pulleys next but in red.

I had the bolt from the TB tensioner loosen up and fall down on the belt, ended up shattering the driver side cover on the DHOC cover.. could of been worst I hated running it without the cover since each time I filled with oil I always would have to put a rag down so it wont drip. I guy on RS 2.5 when I went to pick up some new heads he just threw in all new belt covers and a set of cam wheels for no extra charge, which was great since one of mine got chipped.

Those are test connectors he means plug in a code scanner into the OBD port near your left leg.

The door lock timer for your car is under the panel under and behind the steering column, it should say door lock timer with the FHI mark
