Oily Residue in Breather? Cause?
MorganM replied to tscinmd's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
AH okay that diagram clears it up a bit. Thanks for the drawing. Point still being; if it runs okay why rebuild from the block up? -

You said it runs okay; why are you rebuilding it? I say reroute the PCV system and drive on. Then you wont be foul'n up plugs and coating your intake mani / head intake passages. -
Later dude!

That is one awsome wagon Mick!! I think the rims are trick. That dark red with gold is really hot. I love the gold on red with the new Subarus too; it works well together. What size tires are those?
-
Please do! While my current setup 'works' its not the best. I wish teh squirters actualy hit the windshield first and not just nail the wipers and splatter everywhere.

No problem; maybe put it in your signature so its always there Okay it should be the SPFI engine even though its the DL. Real easy to tell; pop the hood and look. Big huge air cleaner on top? Carb. Rubber snrokel that goes over to the air box? SPFI. Fuel pump should be under the car, behind the passangers side seat. Look under just before your rear, right tire (passanger side) up by the main crossmember. Should see a triangular shaped metal plate extending from main crossmember. Fuel pump is straped to the top of it. In it's current position its prone to getting hit by lots of debri, sand, mud, water, etc etc.... wouldnt supprise me if a wire rotted off there or something hit it and jared a wire loose. Take it easy pulling her off; gonna be rusty back there I bet -

Don't forget where its shooting that lovely substances after passing through the PCV valve -
Rocker box/cam box sealer...is this ok?
MorganM replied to pwoens's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Tough to say. Ultra Black IS fuel / oil resistant. The word that worries me there is 'resistant'. A machine shop did my cam cases last time; can't comment on what they used. How about some of that stuff WJM was talking about.... that fancy Fuji bond ? http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=29931 There are some other products to consider in that thread. Good luck -
Check the tie rods between your steering rack and your knuckles. Make sure wheel lug nuts are secure.

Insead of swaping pullies on the ALT he swapped pullies at the crank? I'm really confused here.... just saw the images and thought I would share BTW when is the USMB BBQ ? The BYB BBQ looked like a blast!

How much rust before a Subaru is unsafe?
MorganM replied to sidekickin's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I've only seen two Subarus that were beyond salvation from rust. Both were Brats rotted out to the point where they were unsafe. Floor boards gone, subframes almost gone, only thing holding the unibody together was the drive train. My '88 GL wagon is quite rusty. It's still a safe vehicle. All the subframes and suspension are solid. The seats are secure. The brakes work great. Takes A LOT of rust over many years of neglecte before they are unsafe. As to the holes there. Make sure they are holes in just the thin skin sheet metal. The places where your subframes and suspension mounts are reinforced. If those are still solid then you are fine. -
Then I dunno what designates which model had them. I spose just find one's that have them! Easy to spot; if you dont see them sticking out of the hood then they are there on the drain tray.

Might just have to go with a different fan. They make really low profile ones. Have you looked at the EA82 electric fans? I *think* they are little more 'slim' than the EA81 electric fans. Might just be that little difference you need?
