Got so excited I forgot to post the site so here it is... http://www.endwrench.com/pdf/engine/FtCamBeltReplaceW01.pdf

With the help from the compatriots at the New Gen website I was led to the following website. Unfortunately, as detailed as it is with photos and all, it is for the 2.2 and seemingly elsewhere for the 2.5. It's a very thorough how to and worth the view if you have the time.

Thanks LB from the land below you. That is the site I was thinking about but it appears my 90 Loyale has a 1.8l engine. I will search the endwrench site for anything specific to my engine. Occasionally, local dealers run a $275 US timing belt special and I am tempted although the incidental cam/oil seals etc. could make the price worth the greasy nails. I will try and not test your memory past the 48 hr. warranty. Yep, this site is a wealth of helpful enthusiasts. Many thanks again.

Thanks ECB. That site is a dandy yet there was another one with actual photos that another contributor to the New Gen or Older Sub sites had posted. Anyone else have a clue?

Does anyone have experience with any of these additives to stop leaks where it involves the seal between engine and auto trans? I seem to be going through diff oil on a fairly regular basis. The bottom of my car looks and smells like the oil fields of Iraq (not on fire though) and I'm sure I am also seeping from the valve cover bolt seals and probably the oil pump etc.. Is there a predictable additive fix for these varieities of leaks? It's a 90 Loyale AT with east coast rust galore at 144K miles. I hate to throw too much in the way of mechanical fixes at it... how about the new 2004 model hmmmmmm...

Where is that excellent website detailing with pictures the changing of timing belts? The link was posted here before... or was it on the New Generation site?

Not sure where the AC was installed. I guess it might not have been factory but I'm not sure since I got the car from the third owner. So far, the car is running pretty well with three new NKGs and wires. What's so great about running on four cylinders anyway? Thanks for the sympathy.

Can't even seem to get the spark plug socket into the space no less any wobbly or extension
-
The AC is closer to the battery. What then??
-
I've never changed the spark plugs on Loyale 90 with AC before. It appears that the front plug is buried under the AC compressor. What do I need to move, remove, destroy in order to get at that plug. Does the AC compressor simply rotate up out of the way?

The manual calls for 75/90 gear oil for 90 Loyale. There is only synthetic available at my local stores in that weight. I have some 80/90 gear oil and have contemplated using it. Is there that much difference? I like the through the wheel well, over the shoulder, around the tree approach to the rear diff but I think the $5 pump or even the squeeze bottle the oil comes in with a feeder hose may just do the trick. I will try and post again after I wash the oil out of my eyes.

My 2000GT automatic is nearly due for the 60K mile service. There is a long list of items on the dealer's generic check list for all Subarus (many items are marked "where applicable"). At $500U.S. it seems a bit steep for things many of which are just indicated as "inspect", "check" etc.. One unknown to me is "add BG MOA and 44K". Anyone have an idea what this means? Is this a simple math problem of "addition" or are there actually products to be inserted somewhere into the car?? What are the prices in your area for these services and am I better off at a good local mechanic?

I have a 2000 Legacy GT and would like to know if there is any way to allow the rear windows to be lowered all the way. There seems to be a limit set that prevents the window from being lowered past half way. I make it a habit of not letting suicidal passengers ride in the rear seat and do not fear for potential jumpers. I live in Connecticut but noticed recently in a rental car in sunny Florida that this was not the case on that car.
