+1 timing

The tops of the springs changed but whole strut asembly should fitt rear dont think so

Auto have you check the vacume modulator on trans is not ruptured the diafram any white smoke ? also have you replaced the diss cap ? have seen many rotors arc to the shaft of diss thru the center of rotor striat down the center look for burns on bottom of rotor. This whould get worse hotter it gets and longer it runs and more load its under. Just a thought

right you boys have smog testing non of that round here. But i think it whould pass and work very well just very hard to get working but that ej1.8 / 2.2 whould love the spi and run fairly clean but posibbly lean

Price on a set for 98 offroad outback sport

Who idles there subaru along ? my offroad outback sport dosent even touch the ground full out all the time. Never runs outa power but never drops under 4500 rpms. A extra trans case is alot of extra weight and fabracating. I a'm all about geting the offroad car as light as posibble. Want more power lighten it up

Undoing the ball joint last resort for me run into tons of problems messing with those bolts

They never did fix the headgasket problem will always be a problem as the engine eats headgaskets by design

I do them in place remove axle I undo the two large 19 mm bolts on rear of control arm and the long bolt in front then arm can be moved to remove axle. Also check hud for exsess wear on its surface were it seats into berring

Weight ? on finished product

Check stator fixed shaft for cracks on end of it if cracked torque will not go on all the way

+1 check wire harness under the seat lots o problems in that area gets wett in the winter and corodes the grounds

I whould change whole front car wire harness lots of work but if you have whole car for doner this whould be easyest way to go

I change the ujonits all the time takes 20 min and is fairly easy to do

Have run the spi stand alone but never on ej motor this whould be crazy hard to get the right signals outa the ej motor if you could find a way to boltup a diss to ej but then plug wires coil ect I'm shure it would work good and get decent mpg. But apples to oranges better to find a ej harness to put into your car

Addjust pulley mount with press to right height

The stock turbo 2.2 cams kill the delta cams 10 to one. Anyway have heard about a offset pin to hold cam gears to alow for addvance of cam gear might help. I also like the above idea of 1.8 heads valves are same size but ports are smaller this may help bottom end. Also converting to 98 and up roller valve train may help bottom end. Or like I said a small sniff of Nos hooked to wot switch a dry 15-20 shot will kick it in the pants but not break anything and it can be timed out

Have done so many of this engine latly i can tell exactly how good bottom end is by listening on cold startup any more than half to 3/4 of a seconed for oil light to go out bottom end is getting tierd also any knocking Other than piston slap on startup is bad. Am talking about in the very 1rst 1 second of startup is when the motor will talk to you After 1rst start must wait till compeatly cold to try again. Anyway I fix this problem all day every day. But if still runing ok I whould redo headgaskets and good to go. Or look for good 2.2 engine from wreakers

As of late have been fixing the 97 and up awd unit by installing the 97 and older awd tailshaft/ rear trans assembly into newer trans units the older awd is way stronger and is direct fitt. had two outbacks in 2 days both smeared awd units fixed both with older awd units and fixed and way better awd., It takes one newer trans and one older trans to do this but worth doing

Feul pump low out put pinging is no feul getting to engine check for pluged intank pump screen

So if you compare the above gasket with oem subaru you will find the subaru one has extra steel wraps on the lower coolat pasage along the fire ring is just two small bitts of wraped steel but makes all the difference in keeping the comp outa the coolant sestem and keeping the fire ring round. This was a weak spot and subaru knew it so they beefed up the gasket

I a'm never changing sensers other than O2s subaru sensers fail very rarely but they have all sorts of wire harness problems but very few senser problems. 95 % of the time is a broken wire or power feed problem. Ex had a 01 outback Tps code over and over the customer had put 3 sensers in car still tps code changed engine wire harness problem gone and never came back was a broken wire somwere in engine harnes. It had passed all contanuity tests and muti meter tests anyway is good idea to check out wireing before blaming sensers

Feul pump low output or MAF

I have fixed the center diff before is very hard and has to be pressed togther to get snap ring in also has about 60 peices to it that are stacked in very specific way any discks damaged will no go back togther. Best bet is new trans also i find that when i reinstall them putting in 4.5 L of gear oil helps them to last came with 3.8 but is not enuff to keep center diff in oil all the time so extra 3/4 of a L keeps the level up enuff to help center diff stay cool and last

boo on the delta cams put in a set in 2.2 and lost alot of bottom end good 3000and up but 1000-3000 dog was very dissapointed with them. Give it a sniff of NOS like a 15 hp shot jsut to get it outa the hole or mabee find a way to slightly addvance timing
