I think the EG33 is just too long, if you compair the engine compartment of the XT vs XT6 you'll see how subaru had to modify the core support and few other items just the make the ER27 fit. If you really want a H6 you may want to look at the EZ30, it's not that much bigger then a EJ25.

I signed up for a subscription at WCSS7 but I have not received a copy yet, do I need to start calling them and start saying "where my mag"

The lights will also come on if the ground wire for the instrument cluster comes loose. You may want to check that.

Hey Zap, will it be worth the 5 hour drive?

Outback got an 18mm sway bar. I have one sitting in my garage that's not being used anymore since I upgraded to a 22mm whitline.

Most Legacy trailer hitches are bolt on, mine uses the rear tow hooks and 2 holes in the unibody as bolt down points.

Oh hearing stories like that makes me glad that the testing in Oregon is ran by the State's DEQ and they were smart enough to exclude all Subarus from a at speed test. Speaking of emission tests, my GL is due again at the begining of the year. Let's see if it will pass for the 4th time in a row on the 1st try.

You would need to do some modifications to make it fit

You need to have the ECU scanned for the code(s) that are being stored when the Check engine light comes on.

Some pictures wouldn't hurt.

I've seen one that was MPFI

One of these weekends I'm just going to have to take the GL down there and play.

Hey they expect the weather to be hot this weekend. Please come prepaired.

the dealer will sell you the same filter as they do for Gen2 and Gen3, I don't have th recept handy or I would give you the part number

You know I've looked at my FSM several time, trying to locate a proportioning valve and I just can't find one. Maybe subaru didn't use a proportioning valve. Also if they did, wouldn't they need two since the brake circuit split is Front Left/Right rear and Right Front/Left Rear?

you know Gen2s & Gen3s may use the same interlock switch since the 3speed auto is basically the same for all three gens.

Hey Ed, it's the model year not the actual year that would determine if it's an interferance engine or not and the 97 model year began in Sept or Oct of 96. Also if it has Single port exhaust head then it's an interferance engine.

You know the ECU may not fire off the injector if the MAF is telling the the ECU that there is not any air going through it. Since you did the test with the air intake disconnected between the MAF and throttle body, there wouldn't be any air going through the MAF to begin with. Also have you check both Timing belts? If the one on the Drivers side is busted, the distributor will not turn and you won't get any spark.

The fireing order is 1324.

Try a different battery cable.

I think you have Zap and Qman Mixed up

Your problem maybe from overtightening the 2 bolts. The Torque spec it 3 to 4 Nm (Newton Meters). Also the quality of the gasket maybe an issue. I know you said the head's surface felt clean but you realy need to give it a good visual inspection, any only and hardened cork may cause problems.

FYI Brooklyn is just the name of the unincorperated area around the tavern and Cosmopolis is just for US Postal service addresses.

Anyone know the gear ratios for a 96 Impreza?
