Sasse Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Hi all, I retired early and bought an 82 Brat GL as a winter restoration project to keep busy. Some rust will have to be cut and patched, but it'll be a good reason to practice welding. I had a Gen 1 Brat in College. that Aaron's in Seattle had put an 1.8L and 5 speed dual range in. I also had a couple 80's Subaru wagons. While going through this motor to find out what was what - I found one of the cylinder heads had been heli-coiled. During removal of the spark plug things went badly. I tried a Big-Sert oversized to repair, but the damage is too bad. So, I pulled the motor and am now looking for solutions. Ultimately, I suspect finding another head, or putting a rebuild in will be easiest. If anyone near Billings, MT has either: a right side EA81 cylinder head in decent shape; or an entire EA81engine in good/great shape, please PM me. I'm also interested in any leads on body interior parts reasonably close to Billings.... Not much of an ask, right... Anyway, happy New Year's to everybody - ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
