  1. By knurl i mean put a cross hatch on outside of piston to make it tighter in bore i have a machine to do it makes a world of differance no more piston slap ever again.
  2. Look for bubbles in over flow bottle when running hot = head gasket i put shop air into cly and look for bubbles in over flow one cly at time. Piston must be at top and have to hold the crank with bar i put 120 psi in cly and should hold with no leaks if air is geting into cooling syestem needs head gaskets. Almost evry weird cooling problem i get is headgasket i chek them first.
  3. There is a bung on rear tail housing to check preshure put a gauge on it and c i did have one break the transfer line that moves fliud to rear of tranny is a 3/8 meatal line above the valve body on mine it just vibrated and broke but very rare. I doubt the basket sheard the splines theese are very tough and have only seen one sheard was on svx that was being neutral droped many times and still sorta worked even with sheard spline thiss makes a mess would see meatal in pan
  4. The only differance between tanks is the overall length i just move the rear xmember forward or back to accomadate tank
  5. 3.3 L svx with buick super charger sticks way far outa i'd say hood but long gone road warrior eat your heart out. Thiss thing sounded crazy and tires where smoked off. Took some serious welding and fabracatinig but it works good as long as you dont need a hood !
  6. Buckets are to loose set the shims 0.25 mm exhaust 0.20 intake you can set them without pulling the engine apart but you need a selection of shims find the loose one pull shim measure it see if you need to add or subtract by thicker on thiner shims.Must be at top dead center of the hole you are checking to measure clearance.
  7. I just blow a bitt of compresed air trough the oil pasage pops them out. Check oil pump/ crank seal if dryed up will pull air into lifters and make it tick clean them up good like perivously mentioned look for berring material in lifters indacates bad berrings.
  8. http://http://s1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh498/ivansimports/ryans%20car/this came into my shop last nhttp://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh498/ivansimports/ryans%20car/th_005.jpgight!
  9. Love the messy subaru bench dosent hurt to look at a diagram in book shows the axle blown up so you can c all the parts
  10. Lean make them smell funny feul pump not making enuff preshure pluged fillter pinched line. Or did somone put deisel in it { dont laff twice thiss year } had cars with deisel in tanks try and diagnose that pain in rump roast.
  11. Compresion test it see how close the cly psi is if ones low start there. Check cam plug orings as theese like to leak and drip on ground or exhaust.
  12. Wow what alot of mess oly thing i can add is that subaru turns off the voltage to the soiliniod to engage awd not power it to turn on awd . when the soiliniod is off flows into awd cuircut when powerd it dumps preshure.When 2wd fuse is in it powers the soiliniod and dumps line preshure so no flow to awd. I run thiss tranny in dragster i tookout whole awd valve assembly and ran a soilid line to awd strait line preshure all the time my awd do's not slip at all. One more thing the less clearance the clutchpack has the sooner it comes on i set them 1-2 thow or less tighter is good but must still have clearance i custom set clutch packs to customers driving needs and location. some people need more awd than others.
  13. not lifted stock hight i put some loyale rear coil shocks in to beefup the back can haul over 1000lbs in back dosent rub run a 195-65 15 on 6 in toyota 15 in rim
  14. Check alt output cant be more than 14.20 anymore will burnup mods alts like to overcharge on theese years seen them go as high as 20 volts check it about 3000 rpms evrything off
  15. Never see problem with dash always the senser on trans has a reluctor wheel on it it whears funny and make speedo jump and quit and mess around .Seems to happen on standards and auto cars but changing the speed sensor has always fixed any iv'e come across. Even high mile cars 400000km or better never seen a failed speedomiter head. I have seen the screws come loose on the back of cluster but very rare.
  16. Never seen a problem with door seen one melt out brakelight in hatch moulding light and was bad enuff to catch fire. And one the trailer wiring box caught fire smoked out car.
  17. Pull engine it takes me 25 minutues to pull at my shop but you dont have to fight axles or ball joints.just exhaust two mount bolts 4 bell housing two strut brace feul lines diss rad ect. is way better to pull engine is a good time to fix any leaks it may have.
  18. Check coolant level the idle moter is coolant temp related if low coolant the idle moter will not close properly sounds like air lock
  19. they have a week bottom end in engine i put new rod berrings main berrings and oil pump on evry justy i see. That seems to keep them going for a while. I drive a ectv justy works very well. The tranys are weak but i havent been able to break mine yet. And i have been trying but holds up
  20. Check coged idler pully on timing belt
  21. you guys must get realy cheap parts the dealer parts here are so exspensive. MY headgasket jobs come in 2000$ or better parts are a 1000$ of if.
  22. I do the awd clutch pack all the time i identify the problem by puting car on steep gravel hill giver and see if spins rear>does it work instantly if yes than ok if not at all soiliniond or clutch pack if slow to come on clutch pack if shudders clutch pack try going for a 20 km drive with fwd fuse in thiss will flushout the awd circut may help my first step to diagnosis.
  23. I have 40 crank and rod asemblys for ea81s hung onto them for airplane guys if you need one all good all std size.
