Dealership is best bet and the cheapest. They will make you a new set.

Mid 13, 13.9 max, yoiu have an overcharge condition, which can shorten the life of lightbulbs and electrics. It may not mean anything but check the batter terminals make sure they are clean.

I'm going to lurk as Blu looks the same, like he had been through a flood when it was just a deep puddle.

I am proud to say that is beyond my skill level

Though they did take a pathfinder which is about the same at 7.3 inches, the 2010 8.7

Found this, not sure if we have the ground clearance Someone did hermit pass in a 2010

YOu didnt replace the chain?!?!

Do a wet and dry compression test in the good cylinders and see the engine health, it may be fine. Generally you have the valves and the rings that seal the combustion chamber. On high mileage engines, if you do a valve job, you are increasing the seal of the engine, so worn but happy piston rings may get annoyed and result in some blowby. Subaru engines can go either way on this. Luckily subaru cylinder walls really don't wear (assuming no heavy piston slap which H6 is not known for) it should be good to go. Even if it does get blowby it usually isnt heavy. The oil level will have to be checked regularly during the oil change interval (bring it down to 1000 miles the first one then do it at 500 miles from then on. There may be some alumunum bits in there and you want to get them out. Do change the oil now.

well i hope all the guides and the chain. and now a rebuilt cylnderhead or two. Doing a valave job at that mileage makes me nervous, but hey, not your car

It is the least loved yet cheapest and one of the more informative diagbnostic tools there is, long before puter or engine analyzers.

ok so I was correct about 200K out of a chain, which is about normal for a chain in any car on avg.

ah ok, i was going to say if it jumped at idle, no damage, at speed, lots of damage. Havent seeen a guide that bad yet, your the first. I know subaru had a TSB about guides, may be that year, dont remeber. They are supposed to last the life of the car, IMHO i'm betting 200K. Good for you that your getting paid for it.

HOw did it die?

Time for a compression test

My freind just sold one. We also have a pinto wagon running around here some place.

What he said. Also here since SUbarus never die unless they are totaled, they are not in yards. Yards here know the HG tirck and sometimes fix them themselves for a nice profit.

If it is a brand new rad get it, especially if it has coolant in it, rinse it out asap. PCV Valves. Timing belts all the seals, and shcek the back of your oilpans for oil leaks, if so, you have seperator plates leaking. 100K on a subaru is just broken in.

Well once the 30 active members and 100's of lurkers get a hold of it, then there is the outback board, and the offroad board....

i have all mine, lets see who crashes the server

All fixed

lash adjuster is a fancy way of saying hydraulic lifter.It is actually the pivot point for the rocker arm. the 'lash adjuster' keeps the gap in spec. does that help?

BINGO http://www.bustedfingermotorsports.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=211 H6 engine Manual

I am doing a little research. I found this http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/110-gen-2-2000-2004/31558-3-0-h6-timing-chain-guide-discussion-2.html "You'd be hard pressed to get the chain keys to line up with the sprocket marks after the car has been running. Those are really only useful during reassembly. The dark gray links are pretty subtle; you can just make them out at about 3 o'clock on the intake and 6 o'clock on the exhaust in this photo of my engine" The outback board has done three of them (guess we are all H4 people here) so try there.

Once you decide after answering GD's question, this is who I use to get parts or for at least a price guide. http://www.subaruworld.com/ Also well liked is http://www.car-part.com/ The first one actually have a-part-that-shall-rename-nameless for the Justy that I could not find anywhere, new used or otherwise.
