Loyale Surges under Constant Acceleration
Nug replied to mrdeep2001's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The alternator should be putting out direct current. If your multimeter detects alternating current, then the diodes in the alternator are bad and it should be replaced. But check for vacuum leaks and stuff first. The simple stuff. -

Nug replied to mrdeep2001's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Could be a ground issue, as said before, or it could be like Skip said and there is A/C current coming from the alternator from bad diodes. When you get your multimeter back, put it on A/C volts and see what you get with the car running. -
Yeah, I had a u-joint fail on my jeep, at 70 mph. It beat the snot out of the muffler and the body underneath.

Check the screw holding the rotor on. -
3AT Peeps: Are Fram vacuum modulators junk?
Nug replied to Nug's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Yes, I know about Fram filters. I'm interested to see if anyone else has had a Fram vacuum modulator fail. -
I can smell your jealousy from here

I still don't have any pictures... But I was serious about the Babe rally. http://www.baberally.com I've paid the registration fee, and my sister and I are going. I'm going to fix the brakes, turn signals, and muffler so it will pass inspection, and that's it. Damn the oil consumption and slipping clutch. If anyone has a semi-good clutch disc lying around, I'll paypal you $5 plus shipping (you know, in case I have to pull the engine and replace the clutch in a hotel parking lot. I'm not above doing that.) -
3AT Peeps: Are Fram vacuum modulators junk?
Nug posted a topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I put together a 199x loyale and sold it to a friend that really needed a car. It's had some common trouble, leaking seals, blown muffler, whatever. When I got my hands on it initially, it was kinda low on transmission fluid and it smoked. All of the vacuum lines were full of ATF. New modulator from Advance, manufactured (or at least branded by) Fram fixed the problem. He calls me up (a year later) and mentioned that it was shifting funny. The car was down a quart of ATF. Car smoked. Vacuum lines full of ATF. WTH? Subaru parts only for this app? No dealers within 60 miles of me. -

Don't forget the screw holding the rotor on. -
EA82 Beetle problems, now with pics
Nug replied to Nug's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
You guys are pretty sharp. One freeze plug in each head had popped out. NAPA can only get them in boxes of 15, but it was only like $5 so I ordered them. It's officially for sale. Anyone interested? -
EA82- disconnect rear axles for better MPG?

Hot Rod magazine was doing some wind tunnel testing, and found that the nastiest primer paint job had the exact CD as something that was all waxed up. -

I drained the coolant/oil out of the engine, and drained the coolant tubes. Added about three quarts of oil (I needed it to run for about 2 minutes). And it wouldn't start. Fuel pump not coming on. Found some bad connections ( never, ever use scotchlocks for anything important, please), fixed them. Still no fuel pump. Jump relay, fuel pump clicks. It's locked up because the fuel went stale. Smells like varnish. Great. Trip to Advance Auto. Picked up inline fuel pump for 83 Ford Crown Vic. $83.xx, and some Berryman's fuel system cleaner (the 1st ingredient is toluene) an oil filter and a toggle switch. 5 gallons fresh gas. Install pump. Relay probably dead, went back to jumping it. Fuel pump works, no start. Injector not firing. Rob SPFI fuel injector off of spare manifold. Car starts. All of this just to get it in the garage. It was raining the whole time too. I should have just stayed in bed. -

I will as soon as my shop is free of dodge pickup. May be a week or so, though. -

I'm not even sure if the radiator has been 'solved'. let's face it. We didn't really think this one through. -

I hope that's all it is. Currently I have a stupid dodge dakota and a hurricane katrina-riddled Harley Sportster clogging my shop, so it'll be a week or so before I can push it in there and drop the engine. -

During initial testing, it had only water in it. This was drained before any freeze, however, there may have been some in the block. I guess I'll find out. Pics? You don't want pics. The ea82 is a poor choice for this swap. You have to cut out tons of material to get that wide rump roast thing to fit. Much better to stick with an EA81 or in my case, the EJ22. -
...coolant and oil started pouring out of the valve cover breathers. Sonofa... Anyway, the car had been severely overheated at some point and then taken off of the road, and then it sat at my house for over a year. Recent events spurred interest in reviving it. I hope it's just a blown head gasket.

Help... leaking oil again...
Nug replied to misledxcracker's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
As long as the crankcase ventilation system is in good shape, I doubt there will ever be a point when crankcase pressure gets high enough to 'blow out' the seal. -

Nug replied to [HTi]Dain's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Considering that the cylinder is a steel liner, I'd run it. Sure, it looks scary, and there may be an eventual failure. But if the coolant temp is held in check, then I doubt there will ever be a problem if driven normally. -

Trying to get it though tech at BUG OUT is part of the goal. Confusing people is exactly my point lol.
