One last question... Are the green and red digi-dashes the same pinouts and functionality?

Probably intake manifold gasket. Buy it! Those gaskets are inexpensive and easy to replace.

Greets! I need an educumacation in EJ22 ECU computer modules, specifically those units found in Legacy models of around 1990-1996. This is what I know (not much): Pre 1995, the module is a 4 connector ODB1 (whatever that means) module located behind the instrument panel on the left drivers side if the car. Post 1995, the module is a 1 connector OBD2 (whatever that means) module located under the passenger floorboard in a sealed metal compartment. The connector has a rotating plastic latch in the center that locks the wirimg harmess connector to the ECU. I've read various posts about jumpering wires to tell the ECU whether the transmission is automagic or menial, telling the ECU whether EGR is present or not, etc. I don't pretend to know what all this means - I'm just soaking it in for now and waiting till all the info "clicks" and I understand the setup, I have a heavy background in all things electronic, I've done a lot of microprocessor based hardware and software design, so please don't be afraid of overwhelming me with techie details - I love that $#i7... bring it! Please, fellow Subaruists... tell me EVERYTHING you know about these modules, differences, wiring details, modifications, tricks, etc. Thank you! P.S. My intended purpose is an EA82 to EJ22 swap, into a MT5 transmission GL-10 from 1986. However, please don't limit your info to just that narrow application... I want to LEARN about these boxes.

I've heard over and over again from people on this forum - OEM only on the valve cover gaskets (and oil seals, and intake manifold gaskets). Subaru Part Numbers: RH (Passenger Side) Valve Cover Gasket 13270AA001 LH (Driver Side) Valve Cover Gasket 13272AA001 My NAPA ordered them from the Subaru dealership for me, just picked them up at NAPA like any other part. . .

Oh yeah... almost forgot. Replace the O-Ring and oil seal while you're in there... those can lead to leaks and lifter "tick of death" too. Subaru OEM Part Numbers: Oil Pump Seal 806718090 Oil Pump O-Ring 806945020 Oil Pump "Mickey" Oil Seal 15066AA000 . .

P.S. I did a thin layer of Anaerobic outside AND inside the mickey gasket, don't worry - the excess will be washed away in the oil and won't cause problems.. One other thing - make sure the machined surfaces are FLAT, and parallel (no gaps) before applying anaerobic. Tighten the bolts with a torque wrench TO SPEC, in a zigzag pattern so you don't warp the oil pump while clamping. . .

I sealed my EA82 oil pump with anaerobic + micky gasket last June. Also did my water pump without ANY gasket - just the anaerobic. Not a DROP of oil or water leaked to this day! Great stuff.

Legacy or Loyale?

Thank you! Went to your image hosting site to download them. Are the air conditioner image scans from the same manual, or are those for something different?

Buy this thermostat and be happy: NAPA Superstat 536090 As good, if not better than OEM. Seriously.

Where can they be downloaded? Thank you.

Yes - Standard EA-82 station wagon GL or GL-10 body if you have it. Thank you!

It seems like it would be a step backward... most of us go from Hitachi TO Weber for the increase in power, better throttle response, increased reliability, less hose clutter in the engine compartment, and easier maintenance and repair. If you truly suspect the carburator to be the source of your problems, I'd personally consider repairing or rebuilding the Weber. . .

Good god, man! I honestly tried to read through that... Could you post the non-telephone-book cliff notes or something? Love to help, but the lack of paragraph breaks, capitalization, etc. made it nearly impossible to get through.

I put a small clear fuel filter (Napa Gold 3002) in line just before my weber fuel inlet. Comes in handy to see if fuel is getting to the carb or not.

I need this too.

Yes... but just for Subaru XT. It's online, forgot where I downloaded it. It's not hard to find with a search here though.

Yeah... pretty much exhausted all the available internet collections like the one you linked to. I'm kind of appealing to the hardcore manual geeks here for a few page scans, I guess!

Greets! I am in need of the PARTS MANUAL pages (with assembly diagrams and part number lists) for: EA-82 Intake Manifold, Carburated, mid-1980's EA-82 Carburator, mid-1980's Has anyone here scanned those pages? I found the RX parts manual scans, but those show fuel injected intake manifolds and throttle bodies only. Thanks!

That's not what the photo you posted says! I'd say your sheet metal bending skills are coming along!

grossgary, Thank you for the info. Both engines are partially disassembled, to different degrees. Both engines have the intake manifolds pulled off the blocks, but I have all the bolts and both manifolds. The engine with the seized water pump had both heads pulled and seperate, and all belts, including timing belt pulled. I have a box of parts for it including the head bolts. The other (newer) engine is missing 2 fuel injectors. The guy who sold it to me gave them to a friend, but assured me it's the only thing he took off the engine. Wiring harnesses for both engines are seperate and boxed but labeled. I'm not sure either engine has all the sensors and actuators still intact, but the newer (1995) engine at least appears intact other than the 2 injectors. I do not know anything about the history of the engines, except: [a] They were both pulled from Legacy cars with under 180K miles. The engine with missing injectors but good water pump was from a 1995 Legacy that was T-Boned in an accident, the engine still ran after the accident. [c] The other engine was from a 1991 car, the guy bought it to rebuild it for a dune buggy project, he started tearing it down then it sat in his garage for years and he lost interest in it and traded it to me for an EA82T engine I had. I don't know why the water pump is seized. I think I might be interested in your ECU sale offer, if it is the single connector with rotating lever connector-latch type. What are you thinking price wise?

That sounds like good news! Coolant level will rise and fall a bit with engine RPM change, that's normal. I'd look at the radiator, thermostat, and fan as your potential problems at this point, sounds like it's not a head gasket problem.

Uhhh,,, What engine? What car? What year?

Pilot bearing in the flywheel?

Never bring a Toyota to a Subaru fight!
