  1. Thanks, glad to have some idea on it all. since 1 definitely promotes a better running engine when it is plugged, I'd like to connect or plug it, to be sure: #2 attaches via hole by #1, and then connects to 1? or 1 port remains open? There is nothing unhooked from 2 to be able to connect these together.
  2. Hi Hoping for some help from knowledgable eyes. I have a Subaru GL 87 1.8 Carb. **I recently replaced the overcharging alternator (bad regulator). After timing belt procedure it decided to quit. Overview of this engine- 1. Here is the biggest problem, rear of motor and of alternator area: This hose (below) is broken the engine shakes a little more after, and when i cover the hole it calms down. I found the possible piece ( top) Not sure where else it was connected to? 2. I also found this guy hanging around, looks like it should be bolted down, but what is this? 3. Plugs behind Alternator not connected, what are they for? 4. disconnected plug Under Hood Driver Side Top, Where does it plug? what is it? the black broken tube (arrow) a problem? 5. On Passender Side Top disconnected and unknown plugs, what are these? Thanks for any help
  3. Thank you! I went ahead and finished it without rotating the driver belt, so that they stayed at the 180 opposite position, and turned the crankshaft after both belts were on checking marks were still lined after and it was.. Success.
  4. Hi, Yes I lined up the crankshaft first. so it is currently lined up with the III mark. When I removed the driver side cam seal housing for seal replacement, I slid the seal housing part off and replaced it that way, is this the cam case you are taking about? I didn't do anything more with both cams than that, just took off outer seal housing to replace seals and reinstalled. Am I ok to attach belts now in the standard way and try it out?
  5. Hi Any help would be much appreciated. I have been trying to get this car going again. I have a 87 Subaru GL 1.8L ea82 carburetor engine Manual Transmission. I am doing a timing belt replacement. Plus, I decided to change the cam and crank seals at the same time. I was following the basic Chiltons book while doing the change. I removed the old belt in the initial part of the change. Now as I am putting things back on, and ready to put on the new timing belt, I am reading to have the cam sprockets positioned differently then they are. On the Driver side my Cam sprocket is DOWN. On the Passenger side my Cam sprocket is UP. Now that I have the timing belts off, how do I move my cams to the proper position to finish belt install? I'm nervous about how they should be correctly moved, all instructions simply say line it up with no in-depth details on how. Here is the DRIVER CAM with hole DOWN: http://s12.photobucket.com/user/luckyme218/media/car/photo1.jpg.html Here is the PASSENGER CAM with hole UP: http://s12.photobucket.com/user/luckyme218/media/car/passcam.jpg.html
