My names Doc and I have a 1987 dl wagon,,, i love my car, but its seen some ruff roads,, and needs some attention. I am hoping to find a friendly group who might be able to unlock the mystery of my engine troubles with me.Cant get used to driving the GMC van again, its just not a Subie! So there it is and here I go.. seeya round!

howdy, and welcome to the board. without any knowledge of your particular vehicle id say its either timing belts or a headgasket. EA82(the motor in your soob) have tendencies to go wrong sometimes and thats usually where. again, you didnt say what was wrong with it but theres an un-warranted stab in the dark

Like stated before, check the older generation subaru forum, and you will find advice on ANYTHING.

 

I had a 1984 Subaru GL Wagon... EA81 motor, and the biggest source of my knowledge is Rick... General Disorder... He is great, try to find him... and ask him about a symptom and he will let you know.
