The starter gear moves out less than a 1/2". I'd turn the engine over by hand and if it's free and feels normal you should be able to push start it, go forward not backwards. If the starter was dragging down the engine RPM it may have died at idle. The read main seal almost never leaks but the breather cover almost always leaks and should be resealed. If you have the plastic plate, get the metal plate.

Not sure what year and engine you have but I have plenty of intakes with all of the stuff on them. If it mounts to the intake I most likely have it.

Keep the 95 and fix and give your brother the 92. Unless you really need AWD, the FWD will get better mileage and will go just about anywhere.

Remove the rear wiper arm Remove the cover and large nut Pull in inner panel Remove the Electrical connector Remove the 3 10mm bolts, I think it only 3. Reinstall in reverse order.

I'd also turn the engine over by hand to make sure it's free.

I have a 98 Outback that is going to a friend in Denver, CO. In Colorado Springs we don't have to do emissions but Denver does. I have not had problems running conversions through emissions but I have not had to do it in Denver. Any recommendations for testers? Thanks, Larry

Where have you gotten the press on sleeve from? I did a few searches but came up empty. I do have the kit, $140 from the local Subaru Dealer.

Pulled the Daughters 99 Impreza trans, the quill shaft has significant wear. I spent some time and sanded down the ridges and it's smooth now but the throwout bearing has more play than it should. Looking for a sleeve repair. Anyone have any feed back on this repair/kit? http://sumoparts.3dcartstores.com/TSK1-Transmission-Sleeve-Kit-for-SUBARU-Impreza-1993-2011-18-22-25-Non-turbo-Replaces-30502AA051_p_15.html#

Where is she located, may be there is a USMB member close by that could help.

Well it was off time on the crank buy about 10 teeth. I set the timing but still no compression. The PO had tried to turn it over and I guess he either damage valves or something let loose. Hard to see how it happened by hand (that's how he said he did it) but who knows. Still a pretty good deal for $500

Thanks, that's the way I'll go on the 95 dual port exhaust engine. Going in Sat1 Larry

Thanks, now I hope Napa has the tap.

The crank bolt torque is 125 ft lbs, so of the manuals have the wrong value.

I picked up 2 engines today from the yard. 95, Non - EGR Long block only as the manifold did not have the EGR Port. I have a 95 manifold with EGR 97 Non -EGR complete engine, the manifold has the EGR port blanked. I'm looking to drill and tap the heads, I remember someone posting they drilled into the water jacket, so I just wanted to double check if both engines can be drilled. Thanks, Larry

6" c clamp will be fine or I also use my wood hand screw clamp. Great deal on the car.

Yes, I'll verify the timing if i buy it. Just strange that he drove into work and then it would not start to leave.

I looked a a 2001 Impreza OBS the fellow drove it into work and when he went to leave it would not start. I turned it over and it seems like it has no compression. - Timing belt moving both sides look like the timing is correct - Pistons are moving Very strange, any ideas? Thanks, Larry

Used Colorado one $40 + Shipping. I can pull them all day long in the CO yards.

I have spare Diamond coils if you need one.

They can be polished out. Shops do this for about $100. The lenses are glued to the back shell so while it's possible I doubt you'd get it done.

That would do it. It's going to be replaced by a 2.2. It may be a good core for someone, but there was lots of water in the oil.

The airbox rubber mount is a 10mm.

Yes the turbo engines are built a little tougher to handle the boost.

I picked up a 97 Outback 2.5 DOHC and it has a couple of strange things, the water pump outlet is on the front instead of the bottom and there was a bracket for a turbo mount on the passenger rear head. Possible Turbo Block? Strange.

Yes, you might also consider getting the foam from a lightly used passenger side. They swap across pretty well.
