  1. I'd think the heads are trustworthy, but how long until another rod bearing fails????
  2. yeah, likely would need a resistor 'network' or a small potentiometer connected to created a volatge 'tap'.....? but the ECU may be looking to actually detect a crossing as the sensor switches? live data from an elm327 device or similar might help with this.
  3. live data could help here. I will say, a '99 could have a bad knock sensor. If this car has a MAF, it may be bad/intermittent.....
  4. maybe cam sprocket timing off by a tooth? if there's oil leaking in one place, maybe there's also oil leaking on the spark plugs?
  5. NTN is what you want to see. wish we had access to NTN axles, or at least inner and outer joints, without going thru a dealer.
  6. an 05 could have bad wires in the 'gaiter' between the hatch and the body.
  7. rugosity and maybe tribology are related to 'surface finish' and in some applications are very important.
  8. GD just give us the truth. "Truth needs no defense,it is a Lion, just release it and it can defend itself"
  9. not sure it's been mentioned, but a sneak path for fuel can be the fuel pressure regulator, pull the vacuum line and see if it's wet with fuel.
  10. check here; https://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/subaruonlineparts-com.121/ dunno about Canadian shipping, but they have offered a 'member discount' over there on occasion.
  11. I used to have a Honda Civic that wore 12" tires. Tire shops used to advertise cheap prices and the fine print would say for 12" . I'd go in and say "Hook me up with 4 of those bad boys". Then comes the" Uh, we;;,uh,we,will have to order them."
  12. huh, seems like if this hole were small enough (pics?) it itself could be blocked by a little sludge or debris in the crankcase. I also wonder if it makes this engine more reliant on thinner viscosity oils?
  13. I read once long ago of a guy that left the nut on but loose, put the wheel back on, fired-up the car and jooked it back and forth, full acceleration and full braking. Managed to bust it loose.
  14. dunno about a file, but I have cleaned many electrical contacts and edge connector tabs with a rubber pencil eraser.
  15. if you're having problems with a dealership, you may need to contact SOA to arrange meeting with a regional representative.
  16. that^^^^^ must be same final drive ratio and, same size/model tires all 4 corners, did tires change with the work done? also, 5 spds viscous ctr diffs usually fail such that, stone cold they are OK, but bind when warm.
