its got 206k on it...its a really clean car...i would honestly love to have it for myself...ive worked on dozens of subarus and done probally 20 head jobs on both the single and dual 2.5 motors and love working on them...so easy to do...this was my first h-6. So far pretty simple.

except for the fact i dont like doing something that could have been done already

honestly dont know...my boss bought it at an auction for like 300 bucks or something...and he dont know nothing about cars so i got stuck fixing it.. Which doesnt bother me really. Anyway...it ran when i first got into it...chain was banging all over the place...pulled the front cover and saw a few chunks of the chain guides laying around in there. So i told the boss man we needed to replace everything, tensioners, chains, guides, the whole works...i didnt want to do it again...he cheaped out on me and wouldnt get the chains. His buddy told him you dont have to replace them. Well whatever i guess...im getting 20 bucks and hour to work on this car so im good with it.

yup....i just kinda got pissed after i fired it up so i just walked away till tomarrow

well...got the timing set as put forth in the service manual...and still runs like ************...new coils..plugs and boots. But missing all on 1,3, and 5. I suspect bent valves or the chain for that side is stretched.

friggin sweet...thanks guys.

So ive searched this forum and cannot find what im looking for so ill start this thread. Replaced guides and tensioners on a 2002 h-6. I can see the arrows on the cam gears, but what do i line them up with? I know on the 2.5 motors there are marks to line everything up but i dont know where to go with this one. Any help or a point in the right direction would be awsome.
