well the coolant was just changed, by me... timing belt is about to be done next month along with water pump and possibly the oil pump, by me... and the plugs were the first thing idid to the car back in december when i got her... I've heard this before on a subaru but it wasn't constant, i had a 93 lego SS that the clatter was there every once in while... but this constant clattering is odd for a 170K miles EJ22... even my 385K 90 EJ22 didn't have the clatter... Now the previous owner had a very good service record and took very good care of it, although the oil was awful when i bought it. and it was his daily driver before selling it to me... Let me also add this, the clatter gets even louder after driving on the highway for awhile and when i come to a exit and stop the clatter is really loud for a few mnts .... have u ever seen the subaru diesel Youtube video sound? thats exactly how it sounds like after driving on the highway did someone swap engines on me?!?! :grin:

yup every 3K miles... no it has not happened before except when i got the car in december it needed a oil change badly... it was cold this winter but not terribly cold... never had a problem starting it up.... and Yes i usually dont warm up the car i just start and go, i am about 1 mile from the highway... No CEL oh may i add this... she rides smooth too

i actually noticed the sound a few days ago but didnt care about it because i thought it was a oil change time , i was running 10/30 oil and i was 600 miles overdue for a oil change... so today i decided to change the oil hoping that sound would go away and this time i went heavier on the oil 20/50.. i used 20/50 on all my subarus in the past from spring to late fall and never a problem... now could it be that i waited another 600 miles for a oil change? the oil wasnt low but it was sorta burnt... and i have no major leaks except the camshaft seal which is a ultra slow leak... all the other fluids check ok

yeah it does... the clattering is loud.. i think i never noticed because i bought the car in the winter and i've been riding with the windows up all the time... but today was a nice day out i rolled down the windows and noticed a clatter while idling or at a traffic light... Holy Cow!!! it sounds like a Diesel engine!!!! and i just changed the oil today too oh btw its a 95 EJ22 with 170k... anyone having the same sound?? :-\

i guess it would be, i have some ideas on this, anyone wants to gather ideas to come up with something? i have the welding skills and i can put it to use...

Hey Evo I am doing the same job soon, however i am buying the sprocket tool on the 11th to make things a little easier, my work will include timmng belt, water pump and seals.... let me know if you run into any problems as i have done this work several times

46 views and only one response! gees i guess the pines are not that appealing anymore uh

ugh! i just ran out of radiator sources at the JY, they have 5 imprezas and countless legacies but every single one of them except for one have the radiator pulled... its time to look at another JY :horse:

really and the heat doesnt make the plastic melt around the bolt? thats what i had in mind at first but then i was like what if it cracks the radiator when i screw in there

lol i did, i got 2 of them at the junk yard and they all leak from the middle of it!!

hey guys last week my lower radiator hose blew and off course during the repair i had to drain the whole system and put in a new thermostat... Now since i bleeded the system using the breather hole (plastic philips screw on left top part of radiator), that plastic nut with the philips screw head is not sealing anymore, however the leak is from the middle / center of the screw!! now, anyone has a part number for that? A no so good picture

its official now :grin: :banana: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=86831
