Salty

Has anyone here built a Subie powered mid-engine vehicle? I have been fussing with the idea of building one. Thanks.

I was able to shorten a 6 point 17 mm socket by grinding it until it would fit under the rocker arm shaft. It was a tedious process but it worked.

Can anyone tell me the MPG they get with later model Foresters? I'm considering getting another car. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me what the normal range for oil pressure for a 91 ea82? I'm only getting 10 to 14 psi at idle. It increases to 40 at 3000 rpm. Thanks.

It looks like I got lucky. The car had been sitting over 6 months and the noise went away after driving it 5 miles.

Does anyone know if drive axles from a 86GL wagon will fit a 91 Loyale 2WD? Thanks.

I just picked up a 91 Loyale with 75k miles that has a slight ticking noise close to no 4 cylinder. Is it usually valve lash or are there other causes? Thanks.

Can I get some feedback on whether or not I should rebuild an EA82 with 247K miles on it? Specifically, I need info if the other mechanicals such as transmission and differential usually hold up for a reasonable period of time. Thanks

The clutch on an 85 I worked on would not release due to a build-up of dust. The clutch disc is in a recess in the flywheel which has a series of small holes to allow dust to be dissipated. They do not do a very good job.

Does anyone have info on rebuild kits for EA82? Thanks

I just scored a carbureted 85 GL 4WD wagon cheap and am interested in desmogging it. Are there instructions here? Thanks

The car is at an impound auction and I can't get much info on it. At what price would it be worth considering?

Can anyone give me a ball park figure on what a 94 Legacy should sell for? Thanks.

I don't know for sure but it may be like my 85 clutch. The clutch fits in a recessed area on the flywheel and can get jammed by dust worn from the clutch disc. It isn't real difficult we just replaced our clutch and the only problem was getting the right parts. We pulled the engine and it seemed easier than trying to pull the tranny and drive shafts. This is the easiest engine I've worked on.

I know it sounds stupid but can anyone tell me which face of the rear oil seal faces the engine? Thanks.
