old oil pump that we took apart cleaned and resealed all the check valves were cleaned and lubed with assembly lube when put back into there proper place it didnt have this issue before which is what is puzzling me
-
went out and messed with the oil pump a little as i was having low oil pressure at idle and put the last parts on it then took it out to seat the rings. im seriously doubting my dads compression tester at this point it runs way to good and way to smooth and pulls to good to still have 100 psi of compression still having oil pressure issues at idle once its hot not sure what the deal is any ideas?

nope no need thats what the gaskets are for no leaks so far

very glad someone watched the video i was worried because its so long people wouldnt watch it

got the subaru all back together it seems to run better and the motor is a lot tighter then before but according to the compression tester the results havnt changed beginning to suspect dads prehistoric compression tester but its still hard not to feel defeated after going threw all that and seeing those numbers

adding these to the list BRAND NEW main bearing set ordered these for my rebuild and my parts supplier says there for an early ea71 main things to take into account is that the thrust bearings are identical they do not have the lock tabs offset as apparently the later ones do but they are brand new i still have the original box only thing i dont have is the shrink wrap just looking to get what i paid of them $30.00 + shipping the lock tabs i mentioned above again these are BRAND NEW BEARINGS someone has to need these things
-
hit a snag today here are the old bearings these are the new see whats wrong? one lock tab is in the wrong place the 5 other main bearings are perfect but 1 of the trust bearings has the lock tab in the wrong spot calling my parts supplier tomorrow about it cleaned up and painted the radiator and fan set up while this pistons soak in the dip
