Whats that off of? I want one too:brow:

Believe me, you DONT want to leave the mixture in the engine. It eats away the cylinder walls. I have about 3 EA82T blocks with 2 cyl each that have major cancer from having the fluids left in them for long periods. Dont know what it will do in short periods, but why take a chance? I just got done replacing the HG's on my RX (yes, its running again:headbang: ) and I was very surprised to see one of the cyl had cancer. It was obvious it had blown a HG at another time and they had left the fluids in it. The car ran great before and after the HG's blew, but I have yet to check compression to see if theres actually a difference. I plan on useing a can of Restore after I check, just because:rolleyes: Btw, because I did have milkshake in the crankcase, once I got everything back together I put in 2 guarts of cheap 10-40 and 2 guarts of tranny fluid. I ran it for about 5min and drained the mixture and got more gunk out. Put a fresh filter on and new oil and its checking out very clean after about 100mi.

Dont have a clue who you went to, most EA81 owners that I know do thier own work. If you can still see the cross hatching on the cylinder walls and there isnt a big ridge on the top rim, they are fine. You can get a crate engine from Japan for $300-$400 and they usually only have 30K+/- on them. The guides are for the valve stems, all head work should include them with a valve grind also. The price on that seems a little steep, but I could be wrong-I've never had it done. But a head milling I did just have done, it cost $75 for both heads. If the engine didnt blow smoke or have a rod knock, it should last for a long time to come. I say put it back together and keep on trucking(or Soob'n)

I'm still working on it. Would love to be a professional driver:headbang: If I ever get my back problems straightened out, who knows?

The axle stubs are in the front diff, no need to tear into the tranny itself. Does it have a locking diff? Just a little extra there, dealing with the actuator. What year is the tranny?

You know thats only there to help protect the oil pan:D Well done Mick.

I can fit into several of the fields, just not all at the same time. 1. Student, just had to bail out of Auto Body and Paint last year becasue of wife's illnes. 2. Mechanic, skill (or memory) is sometimes questionable:o 3. Technical, sure I can find something there I've done. 4. Computer field, Associates degree in electronics. I occasionally build computers. 5. Retail/service field, would Volunteer Firefighter/EMT be in this field? 6. Production/Const, was a Carpenter for over 20yrs. Worked at a manufacturing plant making parts for Boeing aircraft. 7. Retired? Partially disabled, working on full:rolleyes: 9. Military, USN Viet Nam Vet

They should have all kinds of winches and goodies to go with them too:brow:

Well, not to beat a dead horse, but I just wanted to point out my mistake. I didnt relate the fact that Tom was talking about a EA81 oil pump, I thought it was just a 1800 pump. Difinate difference:-\ I'm correct if talking about EA82 1800 pumps. There is no paper gasket. Note to self. Slowly read original post before commenting:rolleyes:

Guesstimate. In my favor of course.

No, it means he probably had a hard time finding his car this morning:D

41deg at my homestead this morning. Getting close to frosty. Considering how warm and dry its been this year in the PNW, I wonder what Winter is going to bring.

Cant wait to see the beast finished. Let me know if you need moral support:-p

I have the EA82 maplight installed on my Hatch, its much better than the old dome light. Junkie did a write up on it, think its still in the USRM. My GL-10 T-Wagon has all of that, except it has S/R 4wd. Dome light AND maplight:-p

Post what you need in the Wanted Forum. Or go to 1stsubaruparts.com

I made leather boots for a steering rack once. Lasted longer than the car (Opel) I think this would work better than canvas for longevity.

Used to be MorganM's. Cant remember who he sold it to.

Only if you have a 4in lift or more.

:confused: Suabru's dont have wing windows.

Beleive it or not, I keep some finger nail clippers with me at all times. The little file can and will open most older Soobs.

I was on my way to Cali once and fueled up in OR. The guy walked away and left the pump going. A couple minutes later gas was spewing on the ground. I refused to pay for what was spilled.

Wire brush the heavy stuff off, then sand the surface. Try and feather the surface where it meets the paint. Alot of primers have rust killer in them now, look for it in Krylon and Rustoleum. If the area is pitted badly, use some bondo to fill and smooth it then sand and prime.

It sounds like thats your problem again. There is most likely pieces left in the cat and now they are blocking the exit. When was the last time you changed your fuel filter?

I say, crank up the radio and see if the tach jump higher! Of course, following the above tips would be a good idea also

I think he's living in the past:D
