Robert M Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 About once a month, my 87 GL Wagon does the infamous 'Subaru Tap' for a minute or two. I know it's a lifter, but I thought I remembered reading on this forum a long time ago that this happens. Anyone know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert M Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 I know the motor is basically solid, just has an occasional sticking of one lifter. Doesn't happen very often. I will do like I saw in the suggestions on that searched-out thread. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
