    Is there ever such a thing as this?? I think not. Just scum. Cheers Bennie

    I can’t work out how that valve master system works - is there another piece require to fit one of those tools into? I’ll keep it simple at my end - I’ve used this a number of times successfully: https://www.amazon.com/GEARWRENCH-2078D-Universal-Overhead-Compressor/dp/B0002STSGC#immersive-view_1575671478784 pretty easy to use on EJ251 heads, it’d be a different story on DOHC heads I reckon. I didn’t get mine from Amazon, I got it from a local store. Cheers Bennie

    Short block = block only. Long block = block and heads, nothing else. What GD is saying is that you need to take the 2011 heads and fit them to the 2008 block. Job done. Cheers Bennie

    Awesome! I’m surprised you didn’t notice the difference in the cam sprockets - an easily noticeable difference without removing the timing kit. As of why one has seven and the other only two, it’s related to the changes in the crank pulley tab count and how the ECU references both of these for ignition and injector pulse timings. Cheers Bennie

    Yes they do. So not only do they get done for car theft, they also get done for arson IF they’re ever caught, more not caught or linked to the arson than those convicted. A burnt out stolen car of mine is probably my worst fear for my Subaru’s Cheers Bennie

    That’s insane. Settle down Maverick! Cheers Bennie

    @poorboy87 it’s not ignorance, it’s learning I only know of the cam and crank changes because it effected a mate of mine that basically did the same thing you’re doing... Cheers Bennie

    I got an EJ22 and NEVER looked back. What a night and day difference!! Plus the EJ is uber reliable! Cheers Bennie

    Black Friday... don’t buy anything until this one day of the year! How do retailers do it? Are they really ripping us off that much to make a “surviving”/living?? I think it was @snofool that runs this setup and has pics in his build thread. Looks like a very near setup! Cheers Bennie

    Through the dip stick hole or the drain plug? Magent on a rope could work if it’s the right size to fit in the drain hole or the dipstick tube. Got a pic of what’s left of the dip stick? Cheers Bennie

    AE, are you sleeping at night? I wouldn’t be due to pure anticipation! Cheers Bennie

    Are you sure? Did you physically check the back of the cam wheel and compare the tabs to ensure they’re the same? The crank pulley can be done by eye without removing the cam belt or pulley. It’s got to be something simple that’s being overlooked like the cam wheel. Cheers Bennie

    https://dynamco.com.au/product/446002-autowatch-alarm/ I’ll be installing one of these in the near future. Main problem with any decent alarm system is that they’re typically costly! Plenty of add ons depending on your needs. Cheers Bennie

    That’s a bugger about the flywheel bolts! Sounds like you got on it at just the right time - when those bolts let go all kinds of hell breaks out! A mate of mine who’s into track racing has a small section of pipe that’s hammered around the outside of all the bolts and tack welded. This ensures the bolts can’t ever move. If you need to remove these bolts, simply grind off the tack welds and off you go. When’s the next race occurring? Cheers Bennie

    I’d take that on in a heart beat if it were close enough to me over here! We know of only three in Australia! Cheers Bennie

    Nice one Akg! I’ll be looking forward to some pics of the wagon. The 5 stud pattern has little to do with the lift other than the strut length in the front end. About ten years ago it was quite a common conversion on lifted L’s over here in Oz when crossbred performance were building bolt on kits for the 5 stud and bigger brake swap. Sounds like it’ll be a sweet setup once you’re done. Will you go for an EJ22 swap too? Cheers Bennie

    If you wanted to keep the sedan you could replace the rear suspension on that corner. Then it’ll just be cosmetic from there. Cheers Bennie
  19. el_freddo
    That sucks mate! Just about everything will be interchangable between the two vehicles, other than rear panels etc. With the rear struts I think there is a difference with these but I think it’s the top hat and spring rate. You’ll love the wagon! Glad you were ok. Not fun, but everyone is safe, that’s the main thing. Cheers Bennie

    I’d say it’s the bearing between 4th and 5th on the upper shaft. Probably caused by low oil. It’d be cool to pull the box and get some pics of it’s internals. Cheers Bennie
  21. el_freddo
    MY hatch, and if the pics are accurate, a very good looking one too. Cheers Bennie
  22. el_freddo
    I wouldn’t do it. You’ll need to “massage” the chassis rails to get it to fit. The dissy needs to have one of the moutning tans shaved off from memory. Someone will know. Keep the EA81 or go an EJ. Cheers Bennie
  23. el_freddo
    The EA82 5spd will handle the EJ22 power just fine so long as you’re not trying to turn massively oversized wheels. Blasphemy!! Should never happen. Many good Brumbys destroyed over here with a hammer trying to fit an EA82 into the EA81 engine bay. Cheers Bennie
  24. el_freddo
    Hehehe... tailshaft/prop shaft. Now I get what you were asking! What Numchux said Cheers Bennie
  25. el_freddo
    If it’s a front driveshaft for the front end and both are carb then yes. Front and rear shafts are not interchangeable. Cheers Bennie
