subaru_styles Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 well i just wanted to make sure you didn't have an EA82 or something..I'll let someone else chime in reagarding the motor as im not that familiar with the justy. but im am 90% sure it will fit as there were no major changes to the justy during it's span, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzadude Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 thanks do you know if there would be anyhting wrong with the motor after sitting for so long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngllhm Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 you will most likely have to replace all seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru_styles Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 ditto on that..since the engine is allready out of the car replace your seals, and timing belts,... you could also maybe port or mill your heads, get cams, etc while its out get a little more HP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pizzadude Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 sorry i need a motor quick and dont know how to do most of that i have swapped a couple geo motors and a honda so i figured i could do this. would it be worth it to do all that through a mech. and if im tearing it all apart why not just use my origanal motor?

stngllhm Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 the only other problem may be after sitting for so long the rings might have seized so they won't seal right. but some times you can get them to unsieze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudboat Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Change seals at a minumum. Pull the plugs and see if you can turn it over with a wrench. If it turns over freely, you're in good shape. If not, pour 1/2 oz Marvel in each cylinder and work it slowly with the wrench until it frees up. With only 4000 miles, chances are you will not need to do much as long as the engine was stored indoors or covered and that nothing was taken off of the engine to expose internals to the elements. After it's in the car, turn it over without the plugs until you're positive that the oil pump is still primed. Oh, new oil and filter is a must... (Duh).. Pull the disty cap and spray a good electrical contact cleaner and thoroughly wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth. Make sure all fuel delivery linkages operate freely and are lubricated. Other than that, it sould be good to go. Oh, and $500 for an engine with 4000 miles is a very good deal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
