Those glass fuses are a pain my 80 brat had 3 that looked good but were broke on the ends and the fuse box likes to corrode. I have a 81 80 and 77 brat here if you need me to look at anything. Mine was having problem with main fusable link power comes in one side of link and out the other mine was burt were it gos to power car ditch the aluiminum power cable to starter will help to add some more grounds and check the power wire on alt also there are some inline fuses under right side of dash

Change key pully and put it tight if you put a pry bar in flex plate holes you can hold crank and tourque front bolt sounds like its wrecked the hole in pully very commen i gentaly tap on end of crank to mushroom it slightly to get pully to fit tight agian.

Worth nothing ? i buy evry 2.2 i can get gold i say the best and cheapest moter to rebiuld i put that block in everything. The parts are not to pricey and the end result is good get a used one is good to but you realy dont know if the berrings or rings are poor and you dont lean anything. At least if you rebiuld it you know. I tore apart a ej 2.5 with 100000kms on it yesterday totaly buggerd rod berrings how could you tell the state of berrings in used moter russian rulette. Im not saying spend a ton of money on it but a rering and reberring shouldent cost to mutch mabee 350 $ and some time. And can update the block half sealing rings to dubble lip rings as theese engines had problems with block sealing rings. I do not trust used engines just for cores i whould go thrugh evryone before running it .

No its for real just finished runing it up pulls good the nurled pisstons make it tight though needs lots of breakin time no piston slap thats for shure. I will be doing thiss swap alot as 2.5 phase 2 moters get harder to find. At least i can sell it with some reliabilaty. The 2.5 heads fitt the 91 block fine other than some small headgasket mods. Ask me what ej parts interchange with other ej parts i have a list. After my 200th ej engine rebiuld i started to mix and match a bitt i have so many moter parts that is easy to look at interchangabilaty and i have a planer so i can custom set the deck hights and head hights / comp ratios i do subaru moters all day every day. Todays engine is a 2.5 d bored .50 over with a 2.2 crank and 2.5 sti pistons and rods with lowerd deck hight with 2.2 heads reground cams going na into a 87 chaser with 5 speed high low. Customer whanted low compretion to be able to run low octane gas but still make toruqe

Have a customer whos getting me to put a xt6 engine in 77 brat if that will fitt any engine will fitt

Howbout a 91 2.2 short block in a 2004 impreza 2.5 hole heads bolted right up little headgasket mod and timming belt modds runs perfectly and short block was 1000$ cheaper than 2.5 i can find 2.2s with good cranks but 2.5 phase 2 is hard to find and weak. I can ofer thiss engine cheaper and with more reliability.

change the whole collum out think the ignition and dip switches are different to

pull pistons and re ring em probly got a scratched up bore on the side thats burning oil unfortanatly the only way to fix is a good hone job and rings or bore it over. Have fought thiss before is losing battle the more oil it burns the worse it will get. Till it burns a valve because of the extra carbon in cly

Push rods are not the same but shouldent matter the oil feed for rocker shafts is restricted on hydrolic moter not on soilid one and the piston is a pin ring design better piston on hydro moter soilid will rev better did you know that 2.0 ej pistons will go into that block ? and can use ea 82 turbo rods biger berring and stronger rod. From my exp the best ea81 s where the oldest ones i could get 80-81 with the extra 2 head bolts small ones with newer parts in them

I test the head gasket by putting shop air into cly one at time with cly at tdc i use a blow gun with hose to cly and put 120 psi in to cly and c if any bubbles in rad if bubbles head gasket on that cly if no bubbles then rad or fan switch. Ea 81 s were bad for heads coming loose mabee a retourque of heads may help or just change gaskets anyway good time to inspect rest of moter anyway

There is a nuetral position switch for pushbutton but not for d/r shouldent make any diff

She go's for inspection today what a bugger trying to get a usa car registerd in canada been on thiss car for a while totaly restored just need to get it inspected and i'm done. Then i can aply for colector plates

The clock has a resister to drop voltage when lights are on thiss gets hot and melts its soder and makes a bad conection take clock out take apart re soder the large resistor back in and it should work i fix theese alot

Buy a noid light and check injetor pulse you can buy a noid light set at princess auto for 25 bucks sounds like injector ground to me

We cut down the loyale rear diff holder to fit early cars or just weld the loyale ends on yours

Check the trans strut brace and trans mounts the go bad alot and high tourque moter hard on mounts

I set the clutches by useing different thikness steels to set clearance have done thiss job over 50 times have boxes of awd clutch packs of varying thickness . some have thicker steels than others so i pick and choose with ones i will use to get the clearance i whant. The output seals are where the tailshaft go's through the trans tail houseing two nylon sealing rings that seal the output shaft theese like to wear into alumiunium and cant seal properly and bypass awd

The sealing rings are internal where the output shaft go's trough the aluminum tail houseing the rings like to where into the aluminium and bypass awd

Runs perfect no problems

timing belt is a bit tight had to use older tensioner and shave the end of the addjuster a bitt but whent together well slight mod on headgasket had to slot one hole tiny bitt

thiss car is nuts passed me at 200+ on hyway what a sight thinken brakes a bitt to small for it

Got a pile of 1600 heads and 4 or 5 compleate engines

Mostly done waiting for headgaskets needs to be 2.2b gasket to work

That helps two things to mutch clearance in clutch pack and check the output shaft sealing rings and bore

most are same 89-98 some slight updates
