the fwd gbox getting pretty noisy so im gonna change the oil and maybe add something to it not sure what, n try make it last as long as possible. everyone here seems to use gl5 80w/90. i remember hearing from people that there is sulphur in gl5 oil and this can damages the brass syncros in a gearbox. dunno if this is a myth and im not tryna say anyone is wrong just asking a question

............well noticed theres white slime/snot in the coolant overflow, but hardly any white smoke from exhaust, could i use copper cement or chemiwield untill i can afford to replace the H/G if it is this, does anyone recommend anything . Been having some troubles for a while.. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=127464

Hi everyone im totally new to this territory im sorry for not introducing myself and straight asking for help but i`ve hit my wits, end for now. been trying to figure out for a few weeks why my baby refuses to do what its told and its stopping me getting a job so im trying everything i can I have an OMEGA GT coupe with an ea82 1.8ltr mpfi fwd manual engine guess i should start from when i first started having trouble, my rockers were leaking pretty bad so got the kit drove it onto the drive way to change them and the water pump gave out. i did the rockers my self cleaned and put new seals grommets got someone to help me install a new water pump. drove it around after that its been running pretty rough with a bit of hesitation under acceration its only gotten worse lately with dramatic loss in power it also has a kind of surge after hesitation got my leads and coil tested @ garage, also took the cap off the dizz and contacts where pretty black also kind of buring elctrical fire smell coming from that area nether is normal i`ve checked and changed the plugs, two on passenger(which would be opposite in the usa) fully black, other greyish, driverside both white ish. changed the fuel filter and flushed engine with stp as i thought could be something with pvc filter but now have no $$ to replace Checked all vacume hoses, noticed some are pretty blocked and cleaned what i could, also replaced rotor on dizy with a spare one looked @ the computer today and its flashing 3 long wihich is not a code i can find on the internet and im pretty damn positive thats its 3 long only other thing i`ve noticed is alot of water coming from exhaust i dont think its injectors cose i put some cleaner through them not long ago still possible its leads as they werent tested under load, when i rev in neutral from low end rpm kind of sputters but when its above 3k sounds like new (tho when in gear and driving hesitates / surges in high rpm) all i can think of now is timing so should i set it on fire......... hahaar but any advice or tips anyone can offer would be awsome Cher
