i was the one that did the head gasket, my bud that has been working on cars for 30 some odd years did the valves for me..like i said the water in oil thing was related to the de-icer gasket on the throttle body going bad... wasn't related to the head gasket going at all

See i had a problem with some coolant getting in the oil and i realized the problem before driving it and making a big mess so i'm not sure what the hell happend i'm wondering would it be best to rebuild it or what??? its had a valve job about 40k ago and new head gaskets..

i was just making mention of the hot water i'm in now with all this.... the brat has no fusible links like the ea's do

well guys first off to cover the issue of the current engine, its blowing oil up the intake and out the throttle body.. i have pulled the #1 plug wire and made no difference in the way the engine ran, all the rest of the plugs when i did a similar thing stalled the engine... that is how i deduced that it was #1 cylinder blowing the oil.. and then i learned from a mechanic friend of mine that is ASE certified that it can either be an oil or compression ring causing it.. my reasoning for saying compression is because sometimes it started up really funny sounded like it didn't have compression.. Ok now to answer the second question i did have a 92 loyale wagon i picked it up for 900$ just needed a clutch and plug wires, original owner 145k on it, had leaky cam seals, bad front brakes, bad cv axle, but ran like a CHAMP 4x4 worked flawless, i was stupid for EVER getting rid of it, it was rust free, and looked brand new.. i'd do anything for a chance to have it back it was an immaculate example of a 20yo car, traded it for my old 83 GL which was grandma owned and looked new which just wasn't me it was BARF yellow and it had issues but ran great till the ignition system took a ************, so i traded it in the condition it was in for 79 brat and now i'm screwed with it because there is no ignition voltage what so ever when u turn the key on.. the coil don't energize, the gauge lights don't come on, i have really screwed up now

i am looking into the idea of getting a running ea82 or ea81 and puting it in the car and rebuilding the one that is in it so i will always have a running engine for the car cuz i don't wanna ever let it go i love the beast... when i say blown number #1 cylinder i mean it has a blown compression or oil ring

well i am quite the handyman when it comes to cars i'm not happy unless i'm dirty under the hood lol... so i'm probably going to do the ea series engine as it requires no mod's just bolt in and go LOL, plus i'm on a huge budget plus the car really ain't worth squat its beat to hell lol and i just need me a commuter car cuz the Brat needs alot of work and i don't have the time for it... just seems like everytime i fix one thing another breaks on it so just gonna fix the old dependable loyale :-D

ok i did homework on the EJ18 and can't figure out what the difference in the EJ18 and the EA82 really is im leaning towards the EJ18 though seems to fit my needs more, and questions have now arisen, can i use the same computer and wiring harness for the EJ that is used on the original EA? what accommodations have to be made to the trans and mounts to accommodate the EJ

ok i have done homework and the EJ's are pulling a hefty price, i am on a budget of mass proportions..

hey guys time to revive the idea list for my 93 loyale sedan, with the blown #1 cylinder. i am trying to compile ideas as to what engine i should run in it.. i want MPG's as its going to be a commuter/travel car and i can't afford a gas hog.. i honestly thought about just sticking with the original 1.8ltr OHC as i can get 35+ out of it but i'd settle for 30 or so.. so here it goes, i'm open to ideas as to what engine to run in it, its all factory original right now.

Ok guys i got numbers off of the box not sure if this helps but here they are, 429602000 and E12-58 what exactly is this and what does it control?? Help me please i want my Brat to live again:headbang:

where do i check the voltage at?? i've noted that there is a negative and a positive wire going from the transistor ign thingy to the coil, then there was a ground to the frame, and 1 or 2 wires going into the main trunk line into the car.

well guys got a problem with the brat i think i located the problem.. can the transistor ignition module next to the coil cause the coil not to get power and the idiot lights on the cluster not to light up when i start the car?? it cranks, and got fuel pump, just no fire and dashlights.. i checked the the fuses under dash and its none of those that i know.. i need help its not running!!!

I'll tell you guys i've got a possesed car, things work when ever they want and its WIERD 4th gear works when it wants to the front driver marker light works when ever it wants, winshileld washer pumps fluid when it wants. its the car of many mysterys it really is

also question for the masses, i have a severe front wobble/shimmy not sure noise sounds like the front passenger wheel is coming off, any ideas? Question of the day, "how does water get in a sealed transmission?"

how bout kick panels the last 2 pics i posted anyone have those, color doesnt matter i can paint em

here's 2 more interior pics

here are the interior pics...Dash is shot, need the kick panel, under steering wheel piece, and seats are rough

that would be AWSOME i am having heck trying to find one how much would you charge for it + shipping to 79605

i have dually noted that the giddy up in a brat is well SPUNKY!! for a lil 65hp motor lol being mine is stuck in rwd i actually acidently fishtailed in the road today taking off LOL its got balls!!

well i will say this, when i drive it, i get a feeling of joy and not a care in the world.. kinda odd actually LOL, but its just knowing i finally got what i TRUELY want.. although i want a EA82 wagon very badly in addition to the 2 88 Justy's i have and the 93 loyale sedan i have, and the 79 brat... lol SUBARU FOR LIFE!!!

WOW who knew an ea82t sounded SO GOOD!!! i miss my 93 loyale.. straight exhaust w/ glass pack that could be heard a mile away...

Well guys here it is my recent aquasition 1979 subaru brat 4x4 4spd... its mileage is unknown, heads have been rebuilt, valves adjusted, brakes fixed, exhaust fixed... still needs a transmission, only drives in RWD, and need a back window.. Overall my mechanic said it was a solid running car, and i say its so quiet you cant hear it till ya push on the gas. OH AND IT HAS ORIGINAL JUMPSEATS!

Originality Rules, i have to say seeing modded subarus is not my thing unless they are lots newer, the older they get the rarer they are and harder to come by, which means if you've modded one that is one less original. plus originals will in the end bring bucket loads more money when they are TRUE collectors items. Anyways guys gonna be posting a few pics of my 79 Brat on here... Scottie

Well here's the story in short.. My pickup module on my 83 EA81 Hitachi powered subaru went out so i replaced it and the coil. In my stupidity of life i accidently timed it with the valve marks not the timing and then realized oops i did it wrong so then went back and timed it with timing marks... well it will start and run ONLY with pedal floored, no other way, it only spits and sputters not actual run.. what is wrong??? it isn't 360 degrees out, already ironed that out. please help me, my poor lemon drop is making me mad LOL..

i'm having pretty much the same problem, did a tune up, disty swap, and coil swap and no go, i have voltage at the coil, i did get the disty at junkyard so i think it might be bad... if i get it fixed i'll let you know, im laying bets that it is the pick up module in the disty.
