Radiator question
A radiator shop might be able to solder in a new bung. I have a barely used one for a Loyale(22" between the bottom pins) in Subaru Parts. Where is Slt, CA?

Radiator question
Agreed. If it has plastic tanks there isn't much can be done to repair it either. JB Weld but that's a maybe.

88 GL-10 pushed the rear main!
IIRC there are some undersized aftermarket replacement rear main seals out there. Something about the brown seals being the best if you search.

Wagon Side Window Removal?
Some ideas for urethane removal: http://cr4.globalspec.com/thread/42204/Windshield-Urethane-Adhesive-Removal Here's a hot knife at HF, don't know how thick the blade is: http://www.harborfreight.com/130-watt-heavy-duty-hot-knife-60313.html Try an old butter knife, heating it repeatedly with a torch & pushing through. Maybe.

Cometic Frankenmotor gasket?
They are finally here!! Part number H1631spk051s ............................................... My friend Mike's comment was that now that the gaskets were ordered once it should be easier next time. His biggest beef was with the ordering desk - dropping the ball on a relatively easy order. People on the other end of the phone line arguing that the specific die number doesn't matter(??!!!!)

Aftermarket stereo install
Hey John! Nice work there fella! Replaced the radio some time ago in my 87 with a Kenwood KDC-MP342U head & Metra kit for Subaru. Metra kit included wiring harness adapter. Didn't have to add any spacers with the short single DIN sized chassis. Replaced all the door speakers in the wagon using the stock stamped steel mounts, just sheet metal screwed on. Everything fit under the door panels just fine. Found the Metra kit on fleabay but I don't know if they're still available.

Loose Shift Gate
Yes, however these might be helpful insight.

Loose Shift Gate
Not the same linkage but similar principles apply. Shortens the throw by lengthening the shaft below the shifter pivot. You could do likewise. http://www.indysworld.com/80s/general/USRM/mick-usrm/ea81-shifter-fix/EA81ShifterFix.html And here's GDs fix: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/84045-new-fix-for-4-speed-shifter-slop/

Loose Shift Gate
IIRC, General Disorder posted a fix for the EA82 shifter. Replacement of the shifter pivot & bushings/pins with bolts or something like that.

Could somebody PLEASE explain how this could have happened?
Flywheel bolt that was too long for the flange hitting the cam gear? Crank thrust bearing is shot allowing the flange to hit the cam gear? Push & pull on the crank flange to see how much play there is.

Anyone heard of Lobro Front axles?
Yes, some Porche dealerships in the 70s used them as replacements. I worked at Bozzani Porche-Audi back then. Here's a link to Lobro catalog: http://www.gknservice.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Brochures/English/CV_Driveshafts_Industry_SpecialVehicles.pdf and http://www.gknservice.com/global/passenger_cars/sideshafts.html and http://www.gknservice.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Brochures/English/Universal_Boots_App_Spidan.pdf

decking a block
If it wasn't into the cylinder liner it wouldn't be that bad. Clean up the very end of the cylinder with a half round file wrapped in 300 grit sandpaper. Wire brush the heck out of the top of the block with lacquer thinner & then JB Weld epoxy the dents. Gently flat file the excess. Check the deck with a ground straight edge & feeler gauge to make sure its flat.

'87 GL 4WD wagon-czny
I do like the SJR bumpers. I will add to the front - a bull guard from a 83 GL wagon I had found at the local PnP. Built out from the bumper with like sized tube just far enough for a winch plate & tied into the cross member with tabs for a skid plate. Scott also built this rear bumper for me with one end open for a 2 pc fishing rod. Found these black trailer hubs that fit a flat center Mazda 6 lug whl on fleabay. Glad the end of the tube is open - thinking I'll add a RH swing away tire carrier like this(posts 9-13): http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/chevy/1027758-mild-wheeler-dd-72-blazer-build.html Could put some fishing rod clips inside the wagon if the end is closed off with a spindle for the spare mount.
