[ARP bolt?]

is there a rod bolt upgrade for a EJ22?

i could not find a part number.

 

also does anyone know if i need a torque plate for final honing? where can i borrow one?

['87 leone wagon build up]

wow that looks sweet. no dents or anything. and headlight washers.

[A/C Compressor seal]

how did the shaft look? was it scored in any way? surface quality is important. also the front bearing is very good idea to change at the same time.

 

basically theres no way to tell unless its apart

[what to look for when buying a Loyale?]

i would check the idle air valve for some debris. also the air filter if its been sitting, might find a rats nest, i did.

[Forrester turbo died]

wow! i would get an oil analysis.

[a little better introduction.....my new car.]

wait so you have to make sure it has no codes for a title transfer? how strange. but you can remove the airbag with no problems?

[EJ25 Big Trouble More Info]

there is a company called damper dudes that repairs these things.

[Head Gasket, $2900?!?-need mechanic!]

that quote is insane

[Oil filters-would bigger be better?]

sure, if you remote mounted it. a oil cooler is also a great idea

[rebuild]

a bad valve would surely have shown up on a compression test

so what are they doing to do with it? sell it and recoup their money?

[87' Gl Wagon Blows the doors off an RX8]

wow my wagon wouldnt beat a bus.

[weber carb]

is the weber larger as well? larger venturis would let you have more power.

[Timing belt busted, '99 Outback]

so you only need a valve job on one head? or are you going to do both so they are even.

most people say that the rear main seal isnt worth the effort if its not leaking. theres a few threads on it.

[Blizzard of the Century]

wow we dont have anything here

[Blizzard of the Century]

nothing but rain here. am i ever happy

go get some pictures if you can

[Rear Brake Pad options]

im using a brand called Remsa Silver on mine, they seem pretty aggressive. cold they are decent but they get better hot. no fade

[Forrester turbo died]

wow im glad it was under warranty. Fairtax4me is right about letting it sit for a while

[Red dust]

maybe the ac clutch?

[reuse head bolts?]

if you insist on replacing them, upgrading to head studs might be a better option.

[My 81 Brat Never ending work in progress]

what does it need next

[Couple East Tennessee Snow Pics (Impreza Inside)]

oh im not ready for snow!

[splitting block]

14mm

[Prices/rareness? 91 turbo leg 5 speed in the junkyard]

this car is very rare. yes the engine is good, but the heads dont flow as well as the newer models so they arent worth as much as the block.

[96 Imprezza gets squirley on snow covered road]

Subaru's are way better than most SUV's because of lower center of gravity, and better weight distribution... but with all season tires, anything sucks.

 

oh are they ever. my 89 cherokee is GREAT in ice, with the right tyres (Kumho MT) but never was worth a damn in snow. as soon as you lift off the gas it oversteered even at 10 mph. it has a limited slip front and rear diff. yes it has left me in the ditch a few times. the subaru is so much better in snow!
