EA-81 rebuild questions


Recommended Posts

A few opinion questions for the EA81 buffs on here.

 

1. Best spark plug for stock '81 auto EA-81?

 

2. Any particular brand / size / shape of circlip pliers for installing circlips on piston pins?

 

3. Any particular brand / type of silicone sealant for the case halves (and wherever else it might be used in assembling the engine)?

1. Stock plugs should be fine, NGK perhaps?

 

2. Regular needle nose pliers are fine for this. Use a Ring expander to put the rings on the pistons so you don't scratch the pistons. You will need to make or buy a tool for pulling the piston pins as well as a large allen wrench or socket for pulling the access plugs.

 

3. Subaru 3 Bond, or Loctite 518 for the case halves. I'm sure there are others you could use also.
