or you can use an ea82 if you drill the flywheel holes out

here is the OFFICIAL timing belt article from the USRM http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2648 2nd most referred to next to the ticking article

make sure both washers are installed. the flat washer has a slight curvature so the cured side should be out agaist the nut, so that the not holts its torque

correct, the distributor will install woth the o deg mark. but this is only necessary if the disty has been removed. but also you can tear the motor down to the head gaskets and the disty can remain in the cam tower so this is only necessary when the disty itself has been removed from the cam tower. so if the disty has been removed, follow all the timing belt rotation, and back to the 3 marks, one full cycle. from there turn until the o deg mark appears and install the disty so the rotor points to #1 when the motor is at o deg tdc, the dot on the passenger side(usa) will point to the sharp corner on the valve cover, just below the word SUBARU

hey if jims car blows up, just blame it on me since i put his car toghether. blame it on ol' miles fox!

look under the dash. the fuel pump is cycling on and off because the green test connectors are plugged in. these green connectors should be un-plugged for normal operation try hotwiring the coil + terminal to the battery. the ign will come on wether the key is on or off doing this. this will supply yhe coil directly, see if she will fire by doing this

the bolts will be m12 x 1.25

intake manifolds are exactly the same between at and mt. the only difference is carb intake is different then spfi intake, but between the same intake vs at and manual its the same part.

if the article was up sorry the pics are down due to server relocation. but here is a .zip of the article available for download, back bt popular demand! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2648

yo as soon as i get my website in order i would like to use your rx on the rx page i will be doing, part of the "makes and models" section on the site. the site is up but the links are all screwy, stupid dreamweaver http://www.economysuperstar.com/milesfox/subaru/subaru.htm

intakes bolt on the same swapping to spfi block will gain compression

man i just cant comprehend a non rusty rx! i would at least expect the rear gate to be rusted out on the bottom edge. f'n impossible. mine's a pile nice job!

asv valves are capped off, as the hoses were meissing when jim got the brat, i capped them off with thick inner tube rubber and hose clamps, is those are the asv valves, anyway, the dookers that come out of both heads on the sides, metal pipe things that a rubber hose would fit onto, 1 inch wide approximately. capped off since they go no where! (with a weber install) i talked to jim on the phone to explain the timing marks line uo to 0 deg to INSTALL the disty, but you use the light to SET the timning to 8 deg or 10 or whatevert you want it at

dont have experience with them myself but i know 2 people who have them, one of them installed his, ask tomrhere and 86suabr and they can tell you about the weber!

i'll bet someone installed the timing belts wrong. run through the algnment procedure per the usrm> engine (sorry the pics are down but the text will help just as well)

if he comes thru milwaukee have him stop by, if the car needs a fix i have tools and we can take a look at it. suppose the water pump leaks out the weephole? i had a re-man one that leaks so i shoved jb welsd in the weephole. anyway i have a spare water pump should it be needed, im only blocks off the highway 262-325-0346

is it off a wagon or a sedan? the wagon ones are *slightly* different than a 3door or sedan. the glass part is the same, the tub behind it mounts the same, but the top corner towards the grill has a longer tab thats more towards the grill on a wagon lite than a sedan/3door lite. but the tub behid the glass part is swappable, or you can bend things slightly. its something you wouldnt notice till you went to put it on, if indeed yours was different judging from the picture it looks like the right one i could be wrong. the difference could be between 85-86 vs 87 and up, since the grilles were different, now that i think about it. so that means im right again anyway my point is there is a *slight* difference between some models

if its an 85 or 86 the parking light is on the headlight knob. on 87 and up its on top of the steering column

it will fit on the same tranny crossmember. you will hae to transfer the driveshaft from the rx as its a 2 piece and lengthed right for the tranny. a mount will have to be made for the carrier bearing the rear diff will have to be swapped for the correct gear ratio, plus its limited slip the axle splines on the tranny will be different, so you will either have to change out the tranny stubs or make some combination of axle parts which is still yet undiscovered, the rx axles wont fit in the brat because they are too long and wont fit without relocating the lower control arm mount and retrofitting the rx lower control arm and making custom strut tops and tie rod modifications someone here should know of where to get a custom axle made to fit so if thats the case then the rught combo of stock parts may work, but you willneed all kinds of different examples to explore building a custom axle you could very well cut the axles in half and weld the rx axle inner ends to the brat outer ends but hardened steel that is welded will be weakened a;so fir the diff lock its actuated by a vacuum servo under the hood, you will see it it has green fittings and has vac lines from the diaphragm on the tranny it can be acuated with a double pole double throw switch, or 2 switches oriented opposite but thrown the same direction, as power to one side engages the lock and power to the other side disengages it the diff lock when locked behaves like the old tranny in 4wd mode

yeah they are the same for all ea82 models, turbo, non turbo, xt, even xt6, same length and same splines

maybe the bump in the driveway knocked the alternator enough to loosen the belt

the anti diesel solenoid is not opening. it is designed to close fuel supply when the car is off.

hell just find a pop can in the trash.

chop up a pop can and stick it in the air filter. only costs 50 cents!

the head should be fine. just a gasket is all it will need. pull the motor and do both. get your parts on ebay its cheaper
