Somebody with a 360 outbid me please
I am winning an auction that is a lot of 21 parts. Included in the auction is a set of piston rings for what I assumed was 1400-1600 but after calling a dealership with a 360 parts manual I found out they are actually for the 360 instead. Price on just the piston rings from the dealer is $56. Only 2 sets POSSIBLY available in the USA...so grab em while you can. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&viewitem=&item=300073471665&rd=1,1

AC kicks on when defrost is selected?
Or, increase idle manually by 150 RPM in the summer and unplug the wire at the AC compressor in the winter so that you don't have the load of the AC compressor pulling down on the engine when you want defrost....which works with just heat alone just not quite as effectively.

15" spare for all 4 wheels...
Thats called hubcentric mounting and Subaru cars do not fully feature it. Theres a small lip on the hubs of Subarus but nothing like other makes. VW's, Audis, porsches and some other cars do though. It places some of the weight and pressure off the studs or bolts themselves and onto the center of the rim instead.

how do you remove the pilot bearing on a ea71?
Tap/pound the old one out with a socket. A 17-19MM impact socket is about right IIRC.

EA81 Wagon CD Changer
I put mine in my glovebox. I had to cut the inside liner out and made it mount nice and snug. If you ever sell the car you can get a new liner at the junkyard for a couple bucks and swap it in with 4 screws. Then its lockable, hidden and pretty easy to return to stock along with easy to run the wires to the headunit.

Disassembling a Short Block
You can definately tip the block halves and get them apart. It ain't fun but its possible. Must be on a bench where you can get good eye on it, leverage on the halves to pull them upward/downward from each other and once you have 2 its alot easier to get the 3rd/4th.

EGR Pipe threads!
Go to the junkyard and get another couple of EGR pipes. On One Chop the pipe so the threaded end can fall off. Put grooves into the threads to create a tap. Place your 17MM socket onto the EGR threaded end and run it into the hole and out a couple times to clean the threads. Install the 2nd pipe you got at the junkyard onto the engine. A little PTFE teflon in a tube (plumbing section of hardware/home improvement store) will help keep it from leaking.
