after all the work was done ,and ran fine , they drove it like 200 miles and started making the noise , they stopped and had it towed to the shop , and has been there almost 1 year, and the shop says rod knock , and has done nothing to it, the shop bought it , and all the other work they have to do , they will sell it to me,

thanks, agree put a 2.2 in it,

front center is where the noise is coming from , not sure how far it was driven ,

thanks,

well the hg was done with heads resurfaced and it does start up and run , noise goes away some what after it warms up , after all the work was done they drove it , and starting making the noise, it's at a local shop ,they did not do the work , the owner has alot of work and no time to work on it, and has been sitting for about a year,

yes i agree, engine swap,body is ok a few dents, , interior good,

1,300 bucks, but i think i can talk him down

went to look at a 97 outback a/t 2.5 , new radiator, new tires, new timing belt, water pump, hg , heads were resurfaced ,the guy said it has a rod knock , i heard it run and yes there is a noise , and not piston slap , i am thinking the valves need adjusting ,am i right or wrong,? 135,000mi on motor.would it hurt anything to drive it away, or drop a 2.2 in it,

thanks, some one told me to unhook the + side of the battery while car is running and this will tell if the alt is ggod or bad, , i think i will use my mm instead

thanks

thanks,

i am sure it is pretty easy to get to and take off ,

going to replace rear bumper cover and hatch , whats the best way to get to the bolts/ clips on the cover thanks

here is one thing i did is clear all the codes and rechecked it , after a week of driving , the reason was i had so many codes , but the car ran good, i call them ghost codes,

depending on the year, i had a 92 fwd a/t wagon legacy

looking under the hood today, i found hoses that were cracked + loose, 168,000mi on it now, thanks

is there a kit for all the hoses or the size of all the hoses , going to change all the hoses

watch the years the code reader will read, i paid like 50 total for mine, ,the code + what it is,

you could go to autozone and get the codes read free , i bought my code reader from ebay , and works great
