Audiophobe Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I assume you mean 180k miles. I bought a 2001 LL Bean about 6 weeks ago with 130k miles (now 132.5k). Runs like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailgatewagon Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 timing chain replacement is expnsive as there are 20 or so orings between the timing case and engin block and lots of tensioners but awsome motors that seam to be much better then the 2.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiss79 Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 sorry my fault: 180k miles sure. @tailgatewagon: did you have to change the timing chain? after how much miles? is this as common problem? thx for the fast replies¨! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAezb Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 timing chain replacement is expnsive as there are 20 or so orings between the timing case and engin block and lots of tensioners but awsome motors that seam to be much better then the 2.5 I thought changing the timing chain on the H6 was not necessary in the normal life of the engine, unlike the 2.5 4cyl that requires the timing belt to be replaced every 105Kmiles. I can see doing the seals and o-rings and the like when needed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggywerewolf Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 http://endwrench.com/images/pdfs/H4H6Fall03.pdf Page 13, under "Engine Disassembly". It's supposed to last "the life" of the engine, whatever Subaru determined to be the "life" of the EZ30, provided the previous owner dilligently changed the oil. There was a post on here not too long ago where someone did have to service the tensioner - http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=55910 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
