Hello! Here is a request for help from Norway, so therefore excuse the strange English. I have driven 7 different Subs for the last 20 years and many thousands kilometers and I love those cars. Perfect for the Norwegian long snowy winters and the reliability has been outstanding. I have a VW beetle, which I am familiar with every nuts and bolts in, but my subs have run without any need of help from me so I hardly now where the engine is But now I need to find it. When I bought my 1999 model Legacy GX (in Norway it is the new Legacy) with an EJ 251 engine I found out that it used lots of oil. It is cylinder nr 1 who have problems. The spark plug is filled with dirt and coke after few kilometers. So now I want to take the engine apart and see if can fix it. I need some advice for this. Have some one a description, pictures or good advices for this work. Arne
