Loud Banging Noise & Felt Vibration from tunnel area
ivans imports replied to timzoy89's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXfront diff pinion or awd tranfer gears had one that rear diff had siezed and broke pinion when it broke it took teeth of awd tranfer gears sounded like what your explning the awd gears still worked but bang bang bang in deaqd center of car.When the front diff go's it makes noise in same place becasue the diff is linked to the rwd and the fwd trough the awd tranfer gears. take off diff end of drive shaft and make shure it turns smothly in trans end no tight spots or grinding.

In a 1000 ea82s have never seen a stuck valve ever have seen many hydrlic lifter problems droped guides bent valves nuts on top of pistons even with smashed pistons valves still worked fine I even had one that was sugared and it had sugar glue on valves but dident stick i whould check guide heght to see if droped guide.

Oops! Valve shim buckets not tagged when removing for HG job
ivans imports replied to gavinl's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyes use a valve grinder to nip the ends of valves i have one setup for thiss job specificaly u may not find enuff of the right bukets because the thin ones are hard to find so you may have to do some math and order some bucket shims or have a machine shop with valve grinder help you i'm shure you could modify a bench grinder or drill bitt sharpener to work as long as valve is strait on and fixed position

Really bad fuel economy
the bigest cause of bad milage i see is from miss matched tire preshure very picky standard is worse 35 psi front and 32 psi rear to compensate for engine wheght. A ten psi differance will pull your milage down also no exhaust leaks at all any leaks = bad milage mabee o2 senser

Subaru Remanufactured Engines
how many subaru engines do you guys build in a year ? do you do your own boring and surfacing ? I have no sorurce for the 05 and up engines had a customer was looking for a 2.5 b from 2009 sti have any? had to send him to dealer cause his engine was not rebiuldable. There are very few subaru engines avalible through the werckers round here and they go for big bucks a used ej251 go's for 2500-3100$ with a 3 month waranty and there sold out and couldent find one on there satalite serach.

Tick of death and Air bubbles in the oil
is it still ticking did you stretch the springs thats the right place? its a pain to get to but worth it will also boost the oil preshure to bottom end. Yes cant spell or use putuation worth crap but hey i dont hide it. Not a lot of grammer uesd in fixing subaru moters. Make shure you give your engine some time to run it may take a drive or a while to get all the air out of oil.

Head gasket not the big problem here
the pcv is only as good as the vacume the engine makes subaru ones are better of corse but you can use a aftermarket ones to tune idle some alow more vacume than others but as far as a problem i think it whould make no differance in performance i find cleaning the pcv hoses makes more differance than changing the pvc valve
-
Head gasket not the big problem here
fixing bad rod angle so far the best fix is a 2.2 crank in the 2.5 block drops the piston a bitt witch alows for planing of block and heads and lowers the comp and gets rid of the over center rod angle thiss engine will last with very good reliability its a little bitt less power but way stronger and can run low octane gas with no ping the customer dident feel any differance at all other than thiss engine ran alot smoother than the stock one
