In the short expeirence I've had with EA82's, the T-belts have been a hassle. But I wouldnt run without them, they are there for a purpose. There has to be a way to do away with the nuts and bolts, these are the culprits. If we could find some clips that would go from one side to the other, these would be the ticket. Easy to remove and replace, quick and simple. If anyone has a source for something like this, speak up!

Eh, late as usual Added mine also.

Here you go, I found the thread on it. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17707&highlight=Anacortes

Dont forget, there is a guy with a Soob yard real close to you. I have his number and addy/map if you need it.

And dont forget you coated all the internals with oil also. It might still be burning that off too. Let it run for a while

Eh, c'mon. This is a no-brainer

I would take Qmans advice. Let it run for a while, you may just have some old coolant in the exhaust still. Did you look at the heads when you had them off? Particularly between the valves for cracks?

I vote for a EA82T GL-10 Turbo Wagon I'm biased

Permatex copper is what I used on my EA81T. Looks like I'm going to use it again. Thanks for the input everyone, pro and con.

I'm putting new head gaskets on a EA82T. Whats the general concensus on using a gasket sealer when doing this? I used the spray on copper stuff for a EA81T before, and didnt have any problems. So has anyone else used it?

Thats what I assumed you used. Just was wondering if there was enough room. Good to know it can be done.

How did you line up the clutch/PP with the pilot bearing?

There is only one fuel filter, its behind the drivers side strut top. Try releasing the gas cap. Really. See if it runs for more than 30sec. If the pump is cycling and you have pressure past the filter, something else is going on. The blinks come in 2 different lengths, short and long. You may want to recheck this.

I would check the compression and stuff before tearing out and swapping the tranny. But any excuse is a good one to do it.

Ha, thankfully theres only one of me :cool:

Start looking for a 5spd D/R tranny.

I might also add, was the fuel filter changed?

Well, he better know how to work on it now. Without asking to many questions Glad you got a nice one.

You might want to go over to AuSubaru . They will give you a better idea on cost and labour.

Its possible the axle off the 87 could have a CV joint on the outside instead of a DOJ. Then again, I dont know if the length, thickness and splines are the same either. I do think the swing arm from the Hatch will work, if its a EA81 Hatch, and 4wd.

I would take the money and use in on the projects I have now

Just back a few months ago I got a whopper. 87mph in a 70mph zone. Cost me $100 in court costs. Northguy, you may want to look at the calender for next month :-p Oh, and sorry for the H/J :-\ 3.90 gears make for a higher rpm, the 3.70 is better for hiway use.

The hood The roof

Look on Ebay or ask in the Marketplace. I'll have to look for the pics, I might have to take some new ones.
