HI, wondering if you ever found a shop in the oak/berk area? i've got a 93 legacy with what one shop says a guaranteed need for another engine...just put in one two years ago so a little hesitant to do it all again.... do you ever look at people's cars?

HI Wondering if you ever recieved any feedback about an oakland shop? in the same boat....

Hey, Wondering if there's any pictures or ideas for a Brat Ladder rack, or a Legacy ladder rack. Thanks!

Ok, so put in the new radiator and have it filled with coolant. Turned it on, let it warm up, did so just fine without overheating it and then went to drive it and after about a mile it overheated. Turned it off, I'm not loosing coolant at all, the levels of that are fine, and so now I'm wondering if there's an additional problem, something I could have forgotten, or what....

Ok, so now I'm installing the new one after draining the coolant. I left the radiator fans attached to the engine which was easier for me, and now I'm putting the one I got from Oreillys in but it also has automatic transmission cooling lines which seem to be getting a bit in the way for me mounting the radiator. is this bad to use this type of radiator or is it just fine and i can plug them up with something. Thanks for all your help!

Ok, so I've determined its a radiator leak and am wondering though if the radiator has a temperature sensor in it or if it's outside of it?

Hi, I have a 94 Legacy, EJ22, just did an engine swap about 6000 miles ago. Overheated two days ago because the coolant (didn't notice this prior, and have been checking fluids regularly) floods out of the passenger side of the radiator at a pretty quick pace. Should I just replace the radiator? Are there things that could be unplugged? Could it be something else? Thanks for your thoughts, I'm a newb.

Out in Kirkland, needing to get a diff engine put in, wanting to opt with something from a mechanist shop, but most dont do install so i'm looking for advice on a shop to install the engine. haven't had my car worked on before, so anythings helpful. its a ej22 '94 manual legacy...

i dont know how to do this work. crazyeights: where are you in the pnw? im east of seattle just 15 miles. can you do this work for me? do you recommend someone that can? how much would the cost look like here? seems like a straight forward fix, which i would do. but, additionally, the engines leaking oil left and right so i need to get it all resealed anyway which led me to a rebuild/low mileage option. thoughts on quality rebuilt engines/installers?

In the Seattle area, <150k working justy

Hi yall, Wondering what to do: I have a 94 legacy with a body that has 277k. One owner prior to myself, regularly maintained, etc. Woodruff keyhole is shot, and everyone is saying that I need to put in a different engine--low mileage or rebuilt. Options are: 1) Go to All Wheel Drive Auto: shop in Kirkland seems very thorough and to do excellent work, but itll cost me an arm and a leg --well, just $4,700. But does it make sense to put in this much money to an older car (if I could pop the engine in myself I would, but I have limited ie no mechanical skills). 2) Go to Engine Haus: Shop over in Gig Harbor that claims to use OEM seals and gaskets, etc, and put in a rebuilt engine. I haven't been able to find out that much about this place and it seems their facebook is mia. Estimated cost is $3,000. 3) Sell of the car as is, other than the engine, the car's in great shape body etc etc immaculate.
