  1. Love the 2.5 DOHC to 2.2 SOHC swaps. I've done many of them, no complaints.
  2. HG most likely. The high pressure is combustion gas leaking into the coolant. bubbles in the overflow tank. I picked up a 98 that blew coolant about 30' in the air when I started the engine to finishing filling the radiator.
  3. Grab a set or two from a slef serve yard, when you don't need them. Spares
  4. Cable off the cam? Pull the air intake and make sure the throttle plate is completely closed. Have someone push on the gas pedal and you can watch it move. Full closed to full open.
  5. So I guess you wold not like my forklift or vertical lift strut compressor. Just do it safe and smart. Not that much compression is needed just to start the nut.
  6. my fav, find a nice set of KYB in the yard and get the complete strut
  7. Look in the over flow for black oily stuff = Leaking HG Radiator when cold for proper level and clean coolant
  8. Cables need to have some freedom and can be adjusted right at the bracket on top of the intake. 12mm nuts
  9. Won't fix this HG fault and makes a mess of the Rad and Heater core for the person that does fix it. 1 day to swap the eng and you can - Seal the rear Breather plate - Change the plugs and valve cover gasketd - Tbelt, cam&crank seals, Oil pump reseal. Done for the next 80K
  10. I've never seen a shaft that bad and I'm 50+ tbelts. The melted plastic tells you someone overheated the engine big time. I'd go for another engine.
  11. Yes could be the Dash. Grab a used one from a yard. Some folks have had luck fixing them but its a little involved. If you have access to a scanner you hook it up and make sure the speed signal is coming in.
  12. If you can wait a few months I can send you a nice rust free one from Colorado. You might also check www.car-part.com. Just pick rust free areas.
  13. 1+ KYB, the will be a little stiffer, but thats the way to go.
  14. Sure could be one and the same. Good visual inspection is the place to start Tire Pressure Tire Tread Lug Nuts and Wheel Brake Rotor Brake Caliper and Pads Axle
  15. Gas pump under the rear cargo cover front section right side. there is a cover with 4 screws. I'd grab a used subaru pump over a new aftermarket. You can confirm it's a lack of gas by putting a 1/4 cup of gas in the intake and starting it.
