you can use a small screwdriver or a (dentist's) pick to pry it out. just be careful not to goughe the aluminum. the crank is hard enough that it wont scratch unless you are being midieval about your technique. when you install the new seal tap it in so it is flish with the block, as it will go in deeper if you kept tapping past that point. you can use socket extension with the flat side on the seal, and tap evenly around the seal until it is flush same texhnique will rork on the rear and cam seals, but the cam seal can be removes after you take off the piece that holds the cam in, you can push the seal out from behind

myoss feece is doing work down in miama, he is the one from indiana with the 2wd to 4wd conversion. he leaves his soob here, but he said he saw a grey sedan, and a white sedan in florida. i'll be if you and your soob were anywhere near him, he would approach it and ask about it

the hose diameter will be larger than the fitting on the carby fuel pump. it will hold tight if you get a good clamp on there tohugh, i have done it like that on a turbo wagon to carb, and an spfi to carb, had no problems either way.

dont forget the rear differential too, because the one for the auro had a different ratio

I just picked up a new ride for 50 bucks. i cant tell you what it is right yet, but here are some clues its gonna be "TrashWagon 6" "manual transmission" "surprised theheads are not cracked" the motor needs a reseal job, but i am going to substitute with an spfi with carb motor until i get all the parts and a new clutch its getting a krylon job, i replaced the fenders and front skirt if i get it running with the motor it came with, that motor will go in trashwagon 5

sorry to reply so late, the library computers have been down...... i had one in my sedan(its gone now during my absence) here is what i came up with I used the ea82 pitch bar mount and bracket, olts to the ea81 the same. I used the ea82 water pump and water pipe to match up frot he radiator. the crank pulley is aligned differently than the ea82 pump, so i spun on some fan nuts, and then the pulley. i doubled up the alternator pulley by welding another one on, but the non ac style ea82 pulley would work the same I used the ea81 engine mounts i used the ea82 carb and intake, and the ea82 water pipe off the water pump the exhaust fits the same(you have to use the ea82 pipe, because the ea81 doesnt come down far enough to clear the front crossmember. i got it to run and drive out the building, but the nuts were loose to the rocker shaft(i got the motoor on trade, didnt know they were loose) all the pushrods fell out, i put it back together, was waiting for a feeler gauge, took a road trip, the car got junked while i was gone. so how did you go about yours? whivh water pump did you use? I also put an ea81 in a sedan with a 2wd auto. the bellhousing has to be more modified to fit the flexplate, and you have to put a spacer between the crank and flexplate. my plan was to use an ea71 with an ea81 bellhousing modified to fit an ea82 tranny, but it got junked too

Has anyone on the board attempted this? I know it can be done! I'll hold out on what i know until i get a few replies............

well, i got home alright, and here i am on the new board. i had a window open, and i click refresh, and this is what i got! much better. and the edit feature actually works. good job

if anyone knew how to contacy rguyver he put spfi on an ea81 and turboed it. i had the idea in mind and i test fitted the parts, and here is what i came up with: i used an ea82 turbo and cross pipe. the holes on the cross pipe are opposite of the studs on the ea81, but the threads are already tapped. either grind away the flange to fit around the existing studs and bolt it up, or take the studs out and relocate them to the other set of holes (i did the first) the turbo bracket my need a little tweaking, i had to elongate the hole that bolted it down to the head. then o bolted on the turbo. i was using an spfi intake, which i had to make a block-off plate for the egr: it had to be removed because it interfered with the turbo. i had ea82 pitch bar mountings, to fit in an already spfi ea82 sedan. leave the ea81 pitch bar mounting if you are going in an ea81 body. you will have to find the right combination of parts to fit the turbo to the throttle body, as the diameters are different. i was told that certain saab parts would fit, but nothing specific. I had the idea of running an oil line off one of the pump's taps, and have it dump off in a valve cover or oil fill tube. the water would be routed through the heater hoses. this was a test-fit for a proposed installation in Myoss Feece's 88 sedan spfi 2wd auto to 4wd 5spd conversion the approach i would consider for turboing the trashwagon (it has an ea82, but an ea81 with turbo heads would be the same) is to run a volkswagen cis injection, as is proven on OH NOAH's ride. use an ea81 block, your choice of pistons, weter it be an ea81, ea81t, or ea81 with turbo pistons from either ea81t or ea82t. use the heads from an ea81 t, as the injector bosses are cast into the head, whereas the ea82t's are in the manifold. i was told to use the knock sensing distributor from an 85 or 86 turbo, but i would assume that 83 and a4 turbo dists would work the same by going cis, you eliminate theneed for computer controls, although certain cis systems have an oxygen sensor. the cis is meccanically controlled, and produces 8psi of fuel, and some cis were on turbo applications. ea81 or ea2 turbo setups should fit. use the ea81t or ea82 spfi manifold one more thing, the ea81t heads have the studs in the right location. my test fit used regular heads

use the pistons from an ea71 hatch motor. hatch pistons in an ea81 block will give you the same 9.5 compression of an ea82 spfi block I got to see oh noah's setup in person. the bosch unit satin the spare tire, and the airflow moved over a disc inside that actuated the ffuel flow valve. his was connected to an xt spider intake, but you will have to connect yours to the ea81t's throttle body. as long as you can get your plumbing to fit you should be alright. its all amatter of conjuring up the right size pices. its one of those creative ventures. the throttle body on the manifold will determine how much flow will go into the motor, and thus it will pull through the bosh unit. you will be pulling your air through the disc on the bosch unit instead rather than the subaru's flapper door.
