Naww... it's an EA81 from an 83 wagon. If I can fit heads with more flow, I wouldn't be all that opposed to it. Am I limited to an EA81 head though? Got a super cheap dig. camera so now I'm ready to show pictures of future debacles!

The diagram is supposed to look like a rectangle with a bolt stuck through it. Didn't quite work.

Unfortunately I wish I had a digital camera to show the poor cyl. head in my garage... the stuck rocker arm bolt is rusted in the head where there are no threads. I broke the bolt off trying to turn it while it was together on my engine stand, so the rocker arm assm. is off... and the the head is off now since the threads somehow stripped out. I'll work on borrowing a camera for a shot of this. [ ] ====[ ]=== [ ] [ ] [_____] It looks sort of like this diagram... Imagine this being a side view of the cylinder head and the broken bolt stuck in it. The motor sat under my brother in laws' house for about ten years which I guess is the cause of the rust. I'm thinking that it'll have to be drilled out, because it's really stuck in there good. Thanks for the info on fixing the threads... hopefully I can save the heads and get this thing together soon.h

any ideas for a cyl head that has a rocker arm bolt stuck (rusted) in it? while taking the rocker arms off, I kind of snapped the bolt and also stripped the threads out of the case (on said stuck bolt). So I've got the head off, but do I now have a doorstop instead of an engine? The bolt is sticking out of each side of the head, but liquid wrench and various hammers won't dislodge it. maybe just new heads?

alright, it's fixed! Thanks for that, hopefully 85 dollars worth of good Subaru karma find their way to you... I almost bought a whole new starter.

Anyone know where to find a starter solenoid besides getting a whole starter unit at Schucks? You're probably wondering why this lazy guy doesn't pick up a phone and call some places himself, right? Okay, you got me, but it's the weekend and the likely places near me are closed till monday. I tried looking on the net and was distracted by a racing application starter soleniod with a push button. Pretty cool, but my 83 has been stolen once already... Thanks!
