Aleaf.crx Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hello! I'm new to this site. I've owned an 87 RX and a 95 Legacy L Wagon. Anyway, I'm buying an 89 RX today. Only thing is, it had the driver's side camshaft seize. I'm no mechanic, and I don't know much about Subarus yet, but I was wondering if someone could direct me to a thread that would be relevant to fixing this or maybe just throw some information at me. Thank you and thanks for having me! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Maybe it's just a broken timing belt. read the write up: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50768 watch the video: here is an ea82T in various stage of disassembly doing head gaskets http://www.economysuperstar.com/milesfox/gallery/rxbuild/ for your search terms: ea82t (engine) , ft 4wd d/r(transmission in this car), 3door coupe(related to the body and interior), leone rx/II (euro version of same car) good luck!

NorthWet Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Could also be a seized t-belt idler or tensioner. All far more common than a seized camshaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
