Espey16 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Hi guys. I've been gathering parts for a dual exhaust port EJ22 im trying to re seal and put into my EA82 car. I took the flex plate off the other day and it is cracked all the way around the bolts. Its a wonder it still was in 1 piece. The flex plate was pushed towards the engine, and it was rubbing on what I understand is the oil separator plate (left side big one), and the small 2 bolt plate (right side). Should I worry about these parts and replace them or are they ok to re use? Stupid question I know. They don't leak though. If I can figure out how I'll post a pic.

Espey16 Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Yup, I can't post the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 If they don’t leak don’t stress about them. But if you want piece of mind, replace them. Use an impact screw driver, it’s the only way to get those countersunk screws out and snugged back in nicely. Are you putting this on an EA82 auto?

el_freddo Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Good! I doubt the auto would be up to an EJ. You’ll love the EJ with the manual. Watch out in wet weather when putting the pedal down! Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espey16 Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Yeah, I took my buddy down to Portland a few years ago to get a white GL10 with the EJ22 swap and it was nuts. My SH forester couldn't keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate not having overdrive but have to have an automatic and tow on a dolly behind my MH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
