gijoe985 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Ok, I think I got it. I think I did 39.5 teeth from crank to driver's side. For some reason I swore that it was lined up just to the left of the mark, but as I am reading it should be just to the right. Thanks, I'll keep you all posted. Much appreciated. EDIT- My timing was correct, but at some point a tooth of the crank gear was broken. I never noticed it. Mine was on there for keeps, to I might have snapped it when prying. I ended up threading the holes in it to use a steering wheel puller. My bad... I am going to look into doing the cam seals, I think the one that the lifters tick on may be leaking a little.

gijoe985 Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Alright, got the timing back and working... but my tick is still there. Oddly after letting it idle for 10 minutes the tick started to die down, but then it came back again. The oil pump screws were on very tight, so maybe there was something else going on there that new seals didn't fix? I put in some of the "fix seals" oil additive. At this point I don't think it could hurt. I'm getting a little desperate. I just want this car to be sold now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Just try selling it. Maybe the buyer won't care that it has a lifter tick because it is a very typical and fairly harmless subaru thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
