Picked up tc seal and ring-seal 31361aa000 from subaru. there are 2 split seals in the bag, but only one on the fsm... I wonder why

The viper systems look pretty nice. Thanks for the reply my friend! I will post back when I get to installing one that plays nice with subarus

thanks for the reply but that didn't answer any of my questions lol. I'm curious as to why the injectors are insulated. I couldn't come up with a good reason.

Putting a 2002 ej251 out of an impreza m/t into a 2000 outback a/t. Why, oh why, is the timing different between an auto and manual? I have a fsm for a 2000 legacy. FSM: Ignition timing [bTDC/rpm]: MT vehicle: 10°±8°/650 AT vehicle: 15°±8°/700 Also, I was planning to swap the injectors between the two. Looking at the FSM it shows just an o-ring seal for the a/t, an o-ring and insulator for the m/t. Anybody know what that's all about? Thanks! The build is coming along slowly but quite nice.

Looking to wire up a remote starter for my 2000 outback. it has keyless entry. Can anybody suggest a good/better/best to buy? Thanks! No more cold winter mornings...

Yeah the sprockets have a R and L stamp on them so no worries there. How long do the sensors last that read the sprockets? Ordered injector o-rings from subaru yesterday. cheap, easy peace of mind

Good to hear. I did notice a difference in the cam sprockets so the car specific set are cleaned up and ready for install after my gates timing belt kit arrives. I will order some new injector seals (appears to be 3 seals per injector, 2 into the manifold and one fatty o ring into the rail) and swap for the newer set of 4. I'll get some pics up as well for anybody else going down this path. Thanks

Okay so leave em alone, just new o rings. Sounds good. Follow up question: I am mid-motor-swap putting an 02 block in a 00 car. I was advised on this forum to leave ecu, original intake manifold, cam and crank sprockets. The injectors on the 02 manifold which I am not using are 1. newer and 2. different colour/part number. (I can go copy numbers down if needed) I'd rather use the newer ones, I mean, why not right? More squirts away from death, and possible an improved design. Is there any reason why I can't?

If you're just looking for a daily driver i'd recommend using subaru shocks. The build quality vs the monroe or whatever at your local parts shop is worth the extra cash. Good quality stock parts.

Stripped my ej251 intake manifold down to nothing to shine it up. Pulled fuel rails, sensors, injectors, etc. the works. Whats the best way to clean/inspect/replace injectors, since I have them out already. Thanks

Rear main has oozed a bit over the years there's 300k km on her. easy replacement when it's out. No oil pan gasket just an oil pan (mines rusted). might check into knock sensor...

I pulled cam and crank sprockets yesterday from the original motor, they are going on the newer motor today. I wouldn't have thought of them so thanks. I got the bulk of my parts as well so its BUILD DAY!!! yay! Using the original ECU, Sprockets, Intake. thanks again for the advice everyone!

I'm not splitting this motor the heads are okay, new HG from previous owner. Building heads up on the blown motor this winter. ALL the guides and seals are getting replaced... she hit pretty bad lol

Here is a price breakdown of what these bits cost, figured I'd take a minute to scribble it down for anyone else going down this road. I am in Ontario, Canada as I'm sure prices differ regionally. From local Subaru dealer- The two seals I questioned about above total $18. Thermostat 78deg $26.20 Oil pan $66.08 V-belt $21.58 (mitsubishi) a/c belt $27.90 (gates) rear main seal $16.66 water pump gasket $3.40 oil seperator plate $21.79 bolts for sep plate $0.39/ea from ebay Gates timing belt kit TCKWP304 with waterpump $172 USD + exchange + import + shipping + tax = $221.64 CND from local auto parts shop (+tax) Valve cover gasket kit $50.36 (with spark plug seals and 10 bolt grommets) Fel-pro intake manifold gasket set $12.54 Knock sensor $132.55 Front main seal $18.71 PCV valve $4.93 don't forget plugs, wires, oil, filter, coolant, engine cleaner, sand paper, anaerobic sealant, rtv sealant.... prices vary by quality. I'm still under "budget" (had a dollar figure in mind to get this car rolling) but certainly costing me a little bit more than expected. reassembly beginning today

I was at the dealer yesterday picking up some parts so yep I went for the $20 worth of seals. Does $132 seem right for an aftermarket knock sensor? I figured I'd change it as well, I bought it already from local parts store, just thought that was a bit steep?
