lmdew replied to bendecker's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI like the single disk units even more. The multi disk changers are more to go wrong. I have several and the under seat base speaker.

Coolant leak, but where?
lmdew replied to mrfixiter's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMake sure you burp the system when you fill it! Subaru engines like to lock in air bubbles.

Coolant leak, but where?
lmdew replied to mrfixiter's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXPlastic tank to aluminum radiator core gaskets often leak a little. The vent plug has a rubber gasket on it, it's all that needed. Don't over tighten it!

Crank Seal surface Damage - Polish or Sleeve
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI cut a used Subaru Timing belt and wrapped it around the cam gear 1 3/4 times and took the other end to the crankshaft and looped it around so the teeth of the belt locked together with a vise grips as a clamp. I had to cut 4 teeth off the belt so it would slip between the cam gears but that was easy and no harm. Worked like a champ to break them loose and lock them to torque the bolt to 58 ft lbs.

lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNeither of those were off. I'm going to recheck the cams on Monday. I don't know how they would have gotten out of position, but worth another look.

HELP - DOHC Crank and Cam Seal change and now will not start!
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIt's the old style crank gear with only a few teeth. I've done many 2.2 so I know it's lined up correctly. Rechecked the Drivers/Left cams to make sure they were both under load when rotating clockwise (looking aft from the front of the engine). Marks lined up. Got it to fire with full throttle but it's not right. I did wash down the engine bay at the carwash to get clean off the oil mess. It ran fine back from the wash 5 miles or so. I' don't think its water in the connectors... I broke rule #1 and started another job at the same time. I replace a broken windshield wiper switch. Should not be a factor either. I did drop the lower dash panel and lower steering column cover. Shouldn't be an issue in this either. Any easy way to verify the crank and cam timing is 100% correct? I pulled #1 plug and stuck a hose down the hole to feel for compression, but with the lack of access and the timing belt still on opening the valves I'm not sure this a good check. No CEL codes and it ran fine before this, other than pissing oil out the crank seal. Thanks for the cam pics, I'll triple check on Monday.
