Sonicfrog Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 OK. Here's one for you. Those of you who have an EA engine, and HATE the perpetually loose oil cap? Ever wonder if an EJ oil fill spout would fit on an EA82T? YEP!!!!!!! [ATTACH]7273[/ATTACH] You have to drill the bolt holes a bit bigger. The EJ tube has an o-ring slot. You might be able to find a big enough o-ring to seal it. I didn't and was in a hurry, so I simply made a gasket for the engine / oil fill tube. (Yes, I posted this on a different thread, but that threat is very long, and though this mod deserved one all it's own) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi subbie Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Very cool. I never tought of trying this on a ea82. Question is can you also fit them to a EA81 EA71 and a EA63. All those engines seem to piss me off with there loose caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oskar_subaru Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 hahaha i´ve lost 3 of them from many of my EA-82´s, so now i just bend the tabs on them slightly so it sits more tight on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a really easy mod. I used to have an EA81 GL. It was a very long time ago, but I'm almost certain the oil fill on the 81's and 82's are the same.

Uberoo Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I lost my cap on my 83 wagon.Now Im running the lower half of a MT dew can.Its just as tight as the stocker..especially cause the can is crunched down tight n the oil fill tube...Never thought of useing the legacy style filler...

Qman Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 And in case anyone wants to know why the caps get loose... the gasket compresses. Get a new gasket and all is well again. Creative though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi subbie Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 On my little 1400 GSR the cap was that bloody tight I couldnt get it off. One of a legacy would be nice, It would come off easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
