cd45 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I blew a seal this week. I am not sure what day. I will be pulling the engine this weekend and replacing all the seals and gaskets. I have the pan gasket and valve cover gaskets and grommets. I have the front and rear main seals on order, they will be here tomorrow. What other gaskets and/or seals do I need to replace while I have the engine out? I thank all of you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 i just posted a couple threads this week about gaskets and such. pulling the engine if it's an EA82 is way over kill. by the time you have the engine out i can have the timing belts, cams and heads laying on the work bench....well, depending how rusty those timing covers are, but i break them off anyway. even the head gaskets are easily done with the motor in the car. pulling the exhaust, vacuum hoses, coolant hoses, radaitor hoses, throttle cables, clutch cables, hill holder, cruise control, wiring, motor mounts, transmission mounts lining up the transmission, splitting the case. it's all easy and straight forward but bottom line is that it takes time. definiltely nice working on a motor on the ground, but unless you need clutch/rear main seal work everything else is easy with the motor in the car. timing belts, pulley bearings, water pump, oil pump seals are all great items to consider if you like reliability. good luck.

cd45 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Changed front and rear main seals. Pulled broken timing belt covers off. Changed pan gasket. Pulled cam pulleys, and found which seal was dead. The driver side gasket was completely out of its groove. The parts store has them but, I messed up when I put the rear main, and have to buy another new one. It is a 1987 GL wagon, EA82, carbed, 5sp, D/R. I really like this car. I know I could have done most of the work in the car but, I wanted to remove it for ease of maintanence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
