neither did I - one "definitive marking" is the one closest to the engine has a "dot/punch mark" at 5.30 o'clock that you can kind of see in these fuzzy images. The rear cog is on the left, the 2nd picture is the pair flipped over showing the backside ... and the front cog his another notch /slot 180 degrees from the woodruff keyway. Gratefuly we can see both notches on mine (in my 1st image) so I must have them stacked in the correct order.. https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/66578-crankshaft-timing-belt-sprockets-the-truth/page/2/#comment-543849 Here are good images of the one closest to the engine, that has a "dot/punch mark" at 5.30 o'clock https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/139522-would-you-reuse-this-crankshaft-sprocket-ea82/ I found #10 washers at Homedepot that should work with a stack of 4 or 5 on each stud, going to blue loctite the studs & nuts. Also found some 2" O.D x 1/2" i.d "fender washers" that could work if I open up the center hole to 5/8" and drill 4 holes for the studs - and I'd use 4 or 5 of the and it would be way more work and probably overkill.

My '88 gl wagon keeps running no matter what happens to it... Today, I added screens to the two air intakes to block the damn rats/mice from nesting in the ductwork. I used flattened out steel gutter guards: https://www.acehardware.com/departments/building-supplies/roofs-and-gutters/gutter-guards/52856 For the passenger side front axle that has a rubber boot above the catalytic converter, I used some roofing steel flashing as a heat shield. Photos attached.

Leaving the key on till the fan stops does nothing useful - you are only cooling the coolant contained in the radiator. You will not "burn up" your engine if you shut the fan off with the ignition. GD

Well VERY interesting, I have had a few mechanics here who say that the FACTORY installed A/C has the A/C compressor between the Alternator and power steering pump. Well, that's what I thought, and mine is set up that way. BUT YET, the online parts stores (well, at least thepartsbin.com one), is saying that the "Short" water pump is for Factory installed A/C. And that is what I ordered per partsbin.com description of the part. BUT, it is the LONG water pump that fit mine. Hmmmmm..... I smell a blunder... SOOOooooooooo, I was mislead by partsbin.com. ALSO, I believe I have seen it at napa described that way too. Well, All I can say is, just take it off and compare it to the one you need. Dammit..... I believe the descpriptions are backward, it has to be... Thanks WJM
