Crown Loyale

My loyale was making sounds like that the other week. My driver's side belt tensioner pully bolts were stripping out the threads inside the block. I got the belts tight and it started fine. I shut it off and tried it again and the same noise. The damn thing kept coming loose. I replaced the belts and put helicoils in there and all is well. I never owned a turbo before so i have no idea what a bad one sounds like.

That's what I did, but I also noticed that the 1 bolt that is in the channel of the pulley is stripped. I think it's a combination of the car is getting old, and I need to get off my ARSE and show a little TLC. I have an 06 expedition to tie me over until I fix her. The wife will just have to slow down on the yoga for a while.

I'm thinking about buying those as well. I was wondering if that kit comes with the tensioner springs? I tried to time my 90 loyale and the Dang #2 belt keeps on skiping a tooth and the belt is flapping like crazy. I noticed that the spring is missing and the belt was loose. Just wondering. Thank you.

It is a very easy basic training, I used to teach The M16A2 to all the Basics, been in for 12yrs and now teaching to base personnel. I believe they changed it from 6wks to 8wks. Helpful hint, try to get an AFSC in writing not by word of mouth from the evil person signing you up. You're just a number to them. If you have any questions PM me if you want. Sorry to change the subject, but I've seen too many good people come into a job and hate the time they served. And yes they did have those cards. It had info on it telling them who they needed to contact if they were not treated farily. We ripped a lot of them up!

My 1990 Loyale wagon was doing the same thing. When I'd start the car to let it idle, it would tick like crazy. Sometimes even after it was at running temp. I run Moble 1 in everything I own, and my Loyale is no different. I was feeling froggy so I bought a can of seafoam and tried it out. I poured 1/3 can into PCV and another 1/3 can in crankcase, and kept the rest for later. This worked like a charm. After a week she is still TOD free

Got it done and runs like a champ:headbang: . The exhaust that I put on from the parts car had a bunch of water in it and a lot of white smoke came out the backside. That scared the snot out of me, but I was thinking, the parts car was leaking coolant so I just let it burn out and all is good. The O2s was also put in and works. The glass pack is in and sounds GREAT, after I got it hot and put water in it just to speed up the process.

Thank you for the replies. I was going to change the O2s yesterday but I couldn't get the old one out. My parts car, 87 GL wagon, has a brand new exhaust system so I tried to swap it out but I had no tools for cutting. I will be doing this today and also be putting on a glass pack to replase the turbo mufflef I put on before. Again I thank you for the info.

Wouldn't you be able to wet sand it to remove the tiger striping?

Here is a pic just outside the firearms range where I work. This is also a test because I've never posted a pic.

I think it's just about a 1/2 hr west of Virginia beach. Thanks. The car is in nice shape. It only has 3 spots of surface rust. I'm just not sure if I want to do the trans swap.

This might need to be in a different section. I am getting ready to change my duty station (USAF) and was just wondering if I should sell my 90 Loyale wagon in AK and buy one there or have the military ship it? I have a 5sp dr for the swap so I'm good there. I was just asking if subarus are in abundence there, near Langley. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I just bought a universal O2 sensor and it says to cut and splice. Will I have to do this or is it plug and go? Thank you.

https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/ Go here for the springs. She delevers fast from what I hear.

You can contact subigal for these or go on ebay and look. I found a set of gabirel's fronts for $45 and a set for the rear for about $35. I can't find springs on ebay though. You could always go to a pick and pull. Good luck. I think the part# is front left G55785, front right G55784. For the rear it's G51183, atleast that's what fits my 1990 loyale wagon 4wd. Good luck.

What about the ones they make for ATV's? They aren't as tall and heavy as the truck ones. I saw a polairs ranger 6X6 with tracks follow an argo with tracks through some thick stuff, no water, up here in AK. These might work but what do I know, I still have a stock Loyale wagon with 25" tires on it with a 3sp.

Oh my God that was great! Is the beast still running after all that? I have that Aussie one as my background. Kick rump roast!! :banana:

Thank you for the comments. I was looking at those aftermarket fuse boxes and thought "I'm cheap, I have a parts car. I'll save myself $20. I'll look and see what it takes to use it. Maybe I just need to spend some money. Thank you again everyone.

Hello everyone and Happy Mother's Day. I have an extra fuse box that I want to mount into my 90 Loyale wagon for extra toys, cb, fog lights, and what not. I just hate tapping into other wires. I just think it'd be better having a dedicated fuse box for everything else. Has anyone done this, and if so where did you mount it? Thank you for replying.

Hello all. Well the time is here, an 1989 gl wagon 5sp d/r swap into my 1990 3sp 4wd wagon . I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of the pedal cluster bolts, or could post pictures of the Dang bolts I need to remove. I started this yesterday and I removed the clutch cable, and disconnected the hillholder, and chased my kids around the block so I got a little sidetracked. Any help would be great!

Can I swap The innerds from a carbed 87 GL wagon 4wd D/R to a EFI 90 wagon?

Thank you for the advice. I'm going to try the terminals and if that doesn't work I'll use the trip meter. Thanks again.

Could this be the sending unit?

Hello all, I have a 90 Loyale 3sp auto with a gauge problem. I filled it up about 65 miles ago and now it's reading a 1/4 tank. I have no leak, I don't drive like a bat out of H3!! I'm going to fill it up when the light comes on just to see how many gallons it takes. I'm just at a loss for words right now. Any help would be great. Thank you in advance.

I'm very sorry for the "not so smart, Dumb, answer". I thought I'd add my $.02 but I added a wooden Nickel I shat the other day LOL. I guess I'll read into things a little more. Sorry!
