ivans imports

They have a sock in the tank that gos bad if you pull gauge sender you can look into tank and see whats up

round here a 2.5b engine gos for 6000-8000$ and is none avalibble anywere is a problem engine and goes bad a lot a good rule is the crank berrings will be in same state as cam berrings if cam journals are scored then crank journals are scored

Coged idler pully 97 could be ether way right on the cusp there was roller hydrolic and roller solid valve trains the soilid is interference for sure the hydrolic I don't think is

I recommend to replace orings on the replacement soiliniods and should be good to go

I have done many svx trans and headgaskets the trany is not to bad to r@r and is fairly easy to rebuild I like to use the 4.44 ratios with a impreza high stall converter then they haul

I put on 33s now up from the 31s that will test it more but gave me two inchs of clearance and raised the gear ratio a bitt

Fuel trim is a o2 senser code o2 controls fuel trim. bank 1 is front bank two is rear

I have been under a lot of both years I don't think they are the same but I might be wrong

Can the crank be turned down ?

Put TBI on it works great !

I have a crashed h6 wagon But imposibble to get that part out till spring but do have one

Change front O2 senser the fuel pump is super easy right behind the rear seat back on PS side is a cover with 4 screws then you can see the fuel pump cover I putt a carter HP pump in mine for a wrx is 260 lpr vs 160 lpr stock one part # P74152HP made a big diference in my 98 outback sport

JDM = can O worms interchange is very limited

oil pans never leak unless you use a cork gasket Ultra grey or right stuff silicone gasket only most likely the plastic separator plate on back of engine leaking

what engine ?

Make a list I also have 4 complete ea71 engines

Howbout install a small plug and hilicoil below that aplug that's 1/4 inch should still leave you room below

I putt my money on loose rear sus parts I test drive 40 subarus a week in snow and ice all behave differently depending on tires air preshures. And #1 how loose the rear suspention is the rear of a awd car is more prone to handling problems if any rear bushing / strut is loose at all. As far as the awd units go not near as many problems with that as there used to be I thought the newer cars they sorted it out. But the awd cars always had a push me pull me feel to them on slippery roads since day one standard cars were not as bad as the auto ones

I just scraped two ej 2.5 ds one was .25 over other stock bore and have 3 more blocks The 2.51 block I rebuild all they are still worth good bucks and in high demand but the 2.5ds are less in demand sell you a block for 100 + shiping

a snapon magnetic plug socket goes a long way

heater cores not to hard to change { pull whole dash as a unit } and whole heater box as a unit last one took me 1.5 hours have 6 smashed outbacks if you cant find one

You have to check piston the cly walls can be fine but piston could be cracked worth looking at all of them probly good idea to ring and re rod bering it at same time the ea71 can do rods with short block still together

Did you ever change the fuel pump ?

I use that s--t on everything exhaust prevents those small leaks at the head

Someone said fluid film coating helps best is to look at a members car that's rusty so you know all the spots to treat and protect and is worth it to pull some of the plastics to get to the hard to see spots
