Debating options after an overheat
when the ea 82 gets hot the valve guides drop out and the lifter buckets come up and the pistons stick to cly walls it may be repairable but you better know what your looking for I throw ea 82s away unless perfect shape just not worth fixing put your money into a 2.2 covertion way better moter and you will be way hapyer with results

piston slap
the knurller holds the piston while a toothed wheel puts a cross hatch pattern on piston very simple machine i bought from a 80 year old machinist the knurler must be 60 years old works off air preshure the more preshure the deeper the knurl deeper the knurl tighter the piston to the point that a engine with all 4 knurled you can hardly turn engine i will post some pics of the knurler and some pistons. I even knurled my forged wisco pistons to get them a bitt tighter thiss is a proven fix have done many.

ivans imports replied to djmark7's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthe fillter is not as important as the o ring that seals it to valve body if old or flat spoted the oring will alow the trans to suck air into it and whine

"Whine" noise coming from 2002 Forester
ivans imports replied to GN1220's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi do alot of front diffs the lower pinion berring gets overhated and alows the pinion to move back and forth takes out the diff and the transfer gears is very noisy and whould be a ton of meatal on front diff drain plug magnet i keep diffs in stock for thiss problem the last one was 800 $ for me to rediff a trans for shop tranny was ok except for transfer gears i like to keep the trans matched to car if at all posible. I whould check for meatal on the drain plugs first in none probly somting else axle nut loose ? or damaged hub ? i put that nut very tight 150 or better

So, you swapped plugs in a 3.0? SORCERER!!!
i do them a fair bitt i find it a bitt easyer to undoo the lower mounts studs and strut brace and lift the engine a inch makes it a bitt less tight the coils come out only in one place takes about a hour to change them all not as hard as a 2.5 twin cam or svx
