UPDATE..: I went down to NAPA, and did some checking..had them get out the "Box-O-gaskets"....what we came up with is a gasket for a Toyota...what year, or model I'm not sure....but here it is if anyone needs it.. F14592 is the part number on the bag that was covering it.. It had orriginal napa cardboard in the bag, and it was un-opened util I got it... what it is is a round donut style gasket / ring that has a metal surround on the outside, treated cardboard like hard inner portion and another thin ring on the inside... it's nice na thick, and as I was bolting it up, it made a very nice fit and a GREAT seal....something I'm not used to up till this point with this car... anyway...that's the update..hope the info does someone some good. mark

Hi there, ON my 83 Brat, I started to get an exaust leake...off the right (passenger side) of the enging...I dissasembled last night to find that the gasket between the exaust port and that adapter thingy for exaust recirc for smog control is mostly gone... it's not the standard oval shaped gasket with a hole in the middle and 1 in each ear, it's just a round ring of some kind from what I can tell. I pulled that exaust port thingy off another engine that I have, but the gasket / bushing thing looks to almost be rubber in there.... what's it supposed to be? anyone got a Napa or Schucks part number on one of those by chance...?? I talked to both of them, and they don't even know how to look it up.. help!!??!!! Thanks in advance.. mark

I read on another thread that .020 is the MAX... otherwise things don't line up.. don't know for sure... mark

after asking more questions, their off of a SPFI... the owner said he'd take $200 for both....I took him up on it... But, thanks for the input anyway...that subaru site was quite informative. Thanks again, mark

Hi, when talking to friends back east, I found someone that knew someone, that saw some heads sitting on the shelf...they asked... they were for a 90's + Subaru with an EA82. They have new Valves, guides, and all kinds of other things done..valve grind, head decked .020...or something like that... they want to sell, but I don't know what to offer.. any ideas?? Thanks, Mark

Down around Newberg...OR... thanks all for the input everyone...I will check into it some more... mark

ooops.....sorry, forgot to specify...Automatic 4wd tranny... mb

Hi all, Looking at a 1987 GL-10 Turbo wagon...seems everything is fine, but the tranny... the owner (of questionable intelligence.., I don't know exactly how many brain cells he has left, looses count after 4....anyway) claims that when he adds tranny fluid, it finds itself a way to enter the engine.......all the tranny fluid he ads, ends up in the engine.....is this possible?....after 75 miles the tranny is empty, and the engine has several quarts too much oil....( or tranny fluid as the case may be).. Thanks for the time to read this, mark

only thing that scares me is the whole conversion process...when I converted my 83 brat from 4wd Auto, to 4wd d/r, there was allot more to it than I immagined...guess the biggest fear...I thought (?) that the Turbo Tranny and the non turbo tranny were a different bolt pattern at the bell housing..or am I just confused... I would love to have the with the D/R 5speed...just wasn't sure how much of an issue that would be, i don't have a decent shop / area / flat surface to do the work right now... I'm thinking on it.. mark

no....it's actaully in the Valley right now (the willamette Valley), and I'm to pick it up in the next few weeks if I want to proceed forward.. Thanks, MaRK

Hey all, I may be picking up a late 80's Turbo wagon. it's got the Auto-4wd, but the tranny has issues....the car runs and drives fine, but there isn't reverse.... I'm thinking about doing some trading for this car, any one interested in trading for anything?? or buying outright?...??? Let me know? N7ZUM@DIRECWAY.COM OR post here... Mark p.s. I'm located in Central Oregon..

not sure how bad...if bad...but they do look to be in good shape on the outside.. can't promise anything about the internal workings... sorry mark

rear struts look fine....from what I can tell...we don't have allot of rust issues here in Oregon...especially Central Oregon.. Thanks, Mark

nope..doesn't have rear disk, or LSD....I was hoping for that myself...tranny is shot....engine is in the back of the hatch...and the interior is tan.., but the front seats arent' there.....they kinda took parts off of it for thier daily driver... mark

Hi, Today, I found a 85 GL wagon...owner doesn't want it anymore....they took some parts off of it for thier daily driver, now it's of no use to them... body is in pretty good shape...only thing I want is the exaust system....I will be taking it to the junk yard for them in the next few weeks in exchange for free parts.... make me a list of whatever you may be looking for, and I'll see what's available...engine is supposedly good, just leaks oil around the oil pump...tranny 5sp/dr isn't soo good, shifts bad..has diff and rear axle.... mb
