ivans imports

far as i know subarus did not come to canada till 75 neat to c older ones did not know they were in usa

bett not many people know that you can put a ej 2.0 piston right into a ea81 engine just have to remove the rod piston pin bushing

check the anti backfire circut likes to mess up valve and create internal vacum leack

comes strait out of ecu to cluster may branch off to cruise but is ereavant to opperation check for dash power and ground there is a fuse just for cluster sounds like spedo is speed sensor tip heat the side of trans gentaly buy sensor to soften factory lock tight befor trying to remove sensor will save greif sometimes is very hard to remove

get a su carb from a volvo it is a slider carb and is super simple and addjustable think they were used on mgs and stuff like that i think a 125 should be close we have used thesse carbs of stuff like that works well have to make an addapter u can tune the carb with oil wheight

if its under 200 hp just leave it out if you have to should not have a problem unless is a ea81

has anyone out there borred a 2.2 up to a 2.5 it look very close was going to bore one today and c whats left looks close to a .50 over 2.2 piston i have set my boring bar just for doing subaru engines.

ive seen that brat but is not subaru powerd

heres a trick dich the stupid gasket and use grey sillacon like they do on newer engines then u only do it one time the gaskets like to leak

stop now and find somone who knows valves are exspensive

u can sub in a headlight relay in place oops sorry heavy black and red and heavy orange(red) and yellow I have the whole harnass on the ground if you need any more answers

i only use the brown seal from subaru there are no replacement of equal quality i whould trust i've used some ugly cranks with no leaks ever

anyone mud drag race a subaru out there ?

not as a repacment as a coating on the gasket no bull i do thiss evry day all i do is rebiuld subaru engines

c pluged oil fillters from time to time and somtimes colapsed ones to put a manual gauge on it and check the numbers no less than ten psi hot at idle or berring time

we call this a harmonica head gasket the gasket vibrates like a reed on an instrament and vibrates till it leaks ive done five or six thiss year all 07 and up i plane the heads and {and always use avionic form a gasket when reinstalling the heads ] we have determind that thiss provides an insulator to prevent gasket vibrating and keeps the coolant from atacking gasket ive done thiss on every headgasket i do over 100 in last two years no combacks do not put headgaskets on dry they will not last have had to redo many shops headgasket jobs. i can c the damage on heads when i plane them a very low spot on lower part of head where the oil return pasage is its the last place to clean up evry time

we use the alt from a 86 caravan was a mitsubishi 100 amp delta alt is very strong and has same conector and simmalar mounts has to be 2.6 mitsubishi caravan have one on my brat use it to jump dead cars

the heater fan relay is located on drivers side of dash above the computer on top left side atached to a braket its the relay with a red and white wire and a green and white wires on it its a bugger to get at i have had to change 3 of them thiss year i take a long flat screw driver and come in from the left edge of dash and pop it off the braket and then you can pull the relay down on harness a bad relay has disscoulord contacts will look like copper instesd of brass

done another one of them 16 bent valves and a blown headgasket piled up timing gears and idler pullys good job dealer 190 kms dealer mantained from new 3rd engine glad i have some quality control

late model 2.2 uses short pistons i c lots that slap its a diferent sound than the rod u do not here the rod bering when its gone because the piston hits the head before the rod berring fails compleatly and that is verry noisey i just knurll the nosiey piston and put it back in problem is gone or replace it i do an oil preshure check first should be better than 15 psi hot at idle if lower berrings are tierd cant be any lower than ten psi

the standard model has a relay biult into the circut its a yellow relay up under dash it somtimes gets dead spots in it and messes up its called the starter clutch relay gets a clutch peadal signal to tell relay to operate i canged a starter 3 times before i found bad relay verry intermitant problem

we put the ea82 carbs on ea81s it works well you have to move the coolant line to top of manifoild to clear distributor and grind a bit off bottom of intake to make it clear the top of engine use the whole manifold it fitts well but tight have to use ea82 top rad hose thiss works well theese carbs are way better have bigger secondarys and better chokes i even put them on ea71s best carb they ever made 85-89 gl [no electicfeedback carbs } as they are controled by ecu and will not work on older cars if it has an o2 probly whont work

before you put them on take the 3 center head bolts and dich them use the head studs from ea81 can only use them on 3 center bolts but they are the problem ones we do this mod on all ea82s it gives you about 1\2 of thread more in block

here in canada we just smoke one and reset it

i have my own planer i just biult a engine that i planed the block surface two mutch and pistons hit heads to fix i take the 98 twin cam head gasket and break it down into its indvidual layers thiss makes verry good head shims have done it many times i put 10 lbs of boost and 75 shot of nitrous on that engine no problems i do find that when i plane a block or head that they ushaly need to be planed alot and i use avionic form agasket on evry head gasket i do over 100 thiss year
