WoodChip Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Hello, I'm new to this website; which was very helpful to me last night when I was working on my 1988 subaru DL sedan, 67K miles. I was recently stranded when my timing belt broke, fun fun. So I decided to change it myself. The job took longer than I had expected, but now that I've done it, I could probably have a new belt installed in 3 or 4 hours versus 16 hours.....the pictures on this site were particularly helpful. Happy Holidays!, WoodChip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBrumby Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 yeh i needed a similar experience with my car to get a kick of mechanic into me. but, yeh i rather enjoy tinkering now and i am now rebuilding a 2 stroke brush cutter motor for the heck of it. jeez youll save heaps of money wrenching it yourself and basically the only thing thats goes is constant velocity joints, radiators, head gaskets ( but the head gasket is cause u didnot change the rad in time) and timing belts for ea82's. If you change your fluids regularly your car could well last to 300k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moosens Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 WoodChip,glad to have you along. Plenty of stuff for your car here that I'm letting go of cheap or free.I'm cleaning house of a load of late 70's through 80's Subaru parts. I had a funny feeling when I saw "WoodChip" it was someone from CT......hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
