thanks mike , I concur ,I'm an Alaskan but my subarus been all over down there eastern Washington and Idaho it's even traveled on the ocean on a crab boat , used to sit in it and crank my music !

thanks Montana , great information .between myself the cannery engineer and our city shop mechanic they're confident in the procedure , so curious on how much the folded over woodruff key worked the channel edges , we'll find out this weekend were going. to line up all the timing marks ,and I downloaded proper procedure on timing belt change , no welding just jb weld and 661locktite and 140 lbs on the nut , love all these subarus on here guys !!!!!

hello 777 here it is ,a shocker for sure ,ive heard jb weld to fill and repair .when I was fishing I let the local mechanic here replace my belt .after I notice harmonic wabble this is what I found ,in addition I put a breaker bar on it and it almost crushed my knuckles as it was already loose so I hand backed it off ! jeepers any suggestions would be great im very mechanically inclined but new horizons scare me ,I downloaded timing belt process and have good help as well but the ultimate solution is out there thank you

Here is the photo, attempting to share the media not sure if this will do it.

I haven't removed the timing belt yet as I've been online getting detailed information on how to properly do that , also I'm having trouble posting pictures , do I have to compress pictures ?or is it simple like facebook

Absolutely I will , just joined the forum to research various situations like mine. Off work and will get on shortly once I figure out how to post pictures to you , thanks a bunch for correspondence
