No, splitting the block is not for a novices. Once you do you may as well go the whole route, New pistons ,size the rods , turn crank, and a whole lot more including bags of cash.... Buying a short block from subaru is a faster better way to go. Rods go out on this engine from overheating or a severe lack of oil !!! If it hasn't done either than don't split it, do what was suggested . Ring it , 10 mm oil pump 642 head gaskets and full O.E. timing set .

Dextron lll/ mercon, or dextron lV will work as well. I would buy the walmart brand for a flush and refill, you'll want about 3 gallons to do a complete job. EDIT) Glad you got rid of that 2098 outback... -
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Subaru-Impreza-WRX-35047AC030-JDM-OEM-Shifter-Bushing-Linkage-Joint-new/132685361292?fits=Year%3A1999|Make%3ASubaru|Model%3ALegacy&hash=item1ee4a9f08c:g:T90AAOSw3xJVVTh6 Ok Try this... i'm not a good computer person... If that doesn't work just go to ebay find seller Subaru parts direct and type in shifter bushing & linkage for 99 legacy after great to do I finally notice that Greg already did it and it goes right there! Thanks Greg

Check the small hot wire from the battery feeding the fuse block. You have a major short, it wasn't there before your skid stop. Something shifted most likely due to the battery moving. It COULD be unrelated to your road crossing but I would look long and hard at how the power gets in and out of that fuse block. follow the others suggestions about pulling fuses to isolate what system is shorting. Use a very light gauge wire held with needle nose pliers to "test " the fusable link connection for a continuing short. If it sparks your short is still there.

Check compression, got a tight valve?

good luck, hope it helps!

Take a look at this item on ebay ( 142795978874 ) That is the OE shifter bushings and linkage assembly for your legacy direct from subaru

Don't split it. Replace the oil pump with a 10 mm Subaru pump. replacing the rings is optional but I wouldn't on a 2.5. Water pump with a high quality one. Subaru #642 head gaskets, only O.E. timing components.

3/16 is the proper size , I think its an 1/8" long neck punch and stay on the outside edge not the center. Might be 1/16" but i'm not in the shop to look.
-
This is a very common issue, just use a small punch and remove it. I can't tell you how many times this rolls into the shop. 5 minutes to punch it out and turn 180 degrees.
-
Yup ,he's talking transmission oil. Diff. oil wouldn't do this. If your considering a trans fluid flush, here is an easy way. Buy 3 gal atf.. Disconnect a cooler line at radiator. Place line in empty gal jug . Start motor , idle as gal jug fills. Stop. empty used jug. replace under hose , pour one gal of new atf in at top. Repeat . By the 3rd gal you should be getting clean oil .
-
Use a smaller punch and come from the other side. i see this all the time.
-
buy an original used one from ebay. Make sure the numbers match.

(142713912360) ebay item # 642 Subaru MLS Pair $76.00 delivered No debate use at least these or the turbo head gaskets. Don't mill the heads ,Clean them up with 150 grit WD and then check for flatness. Check valve lash while you have them on the bench.

You didn't have the oil pump off did you? That could be a pump seal....if you had the pump off you'll have to go back and check. Better chance it was laying on top of something and you dislodged it.
-
From your description I would say that your power loss is not related to any possible transmission issues you may have. Have you checked for any codes ? Fuel filter wouldn't act that way but its Interesting that on a 99 the fuel filter is in-tank, they did not do that here until 2005. I would suspect a MAF if your car has one. The throttle position switch could be acting up. Coil shorting ? As you can tell I'm thinking its an electrical issue. Do you have another vehicle you can "borrow" parts from to try ?
-
Its hard to say at this point , but your having early symptoms of torque bind. Install the fwd fuse and try. EDIT) Great minds think alike Tex

Been about a year ago and it was a 99 postal but I'm thinking your missing a nut or two. There was nothing special (other than normal, disconnect battery negative) about the air bag. Its a daunting job to start but its really not that bad once you start.
-
Nope, nothing too special. A way to compress the springs on the struts and the caliper , rotor & pads is same as always. Be sure to grease the caliper slide pins with syl-glide or other high quality brake lube. EDIT) Upper bolt holding the strut to the knuckle is for alignment , mark the head to the knuckle with paint and turn from the nut side. Lower bolt is normal

The Snap On man call's a 14 mm 12 point , 1/2 " drive socket the Subaru Head Bolt Socket. Buy a high quality one before doing your heads. Replace your pcv with a Subaru one , they are not that expensive. Confirm all the rubber piping from it & the valve covers to the block are pliable and have clamps (many are rock hard with age and the clamps are gone) When the head gaskets start leaking oil it will start slowly , lots of time to notice .

What a cute little thing ! Never seen one before! Subaru sells all sorts of cool things overseas . 7200 rpm , they wont let ours wrap up like that. Thanks for sharing !
-
Yes Zett; Congratulations !!! I knew you would locate Subaru People nearby, we are everywhere! Hiding in the bushes... Subaru's go there, fords get stuck... Sounds like you found just the right shop nearby . I knew there would be one. Be sure to post later in the summer with pictures of your new outback! As Heartless said, WELCOME to the family ! (even if !)

That year subi has a hill holder on it. If you were trying to roll backwards it will mess with you. If you were rolling forwards then you should check the caliper slide pins and grease them with Sil-glyde.

Only in the N.W. Tex, Montana , Idaho , Washington . We travel down to Arizona when we can for the gem sales in the spring.
