Not to jinx you, but I would be willing to bet the rod bends at one of the welds... since the steel has lost some temper from the welding there.

Carlise May 15-17th the East Coast Meet
backwoodsboy replied to moosens's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Edit : moved to PM -
The repair on these is kind of like the repair (or replacement) for a blown axle boot. If the boot is trashed (but the joint is ok) I change just the boot. On the other hand... sometimes its obvious that LOTS of crap has gotten in there (or the joint is on the way out anyway) In that case, change the boot and joint. Other people (mechanics also) say there wont ever be a better time to change the joint.... and do em all at once. I dont always see the need.

Carlise May 15-17th the East Coast Meet
backwoodsboy replied to moosens's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
My thoughts exactly. I have said to a few... I know people will contunue to attend the show, and thats fine. Im not here to convince people to NOT attend the show. I just dont have any desire to go back there with my truck after getting thrown out for bull$hit reasons at 10:30 at night. :-\ My vote... is that we toss around ideas for some common ground where everyone could gather, and do our own ECSS. Obviously, Carlisle is just NOT the place. -

backwoodsboy replied to The Beast I Drive's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
The rings will need to match the pistons. 25 over was the largest oversize subaru offered IIRC. -
Brat parts or junkyard?
backwoodsboy replied to Nomosti's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Myself and several other on the board here have assorted parts that most likely can be yours for various prices. Push rods I have Brush guard... hmmm Jumpseats I dont have for sale but others do. -

I have the idea the feeling must be mutual. Congrats on getting all the $$ back! I thought for SURE they would have deducted a BS fee (and a turfing fee) -
83 Coupe Love ..Restore Progress ( Pics page 2)
backwoodsboy replied to Bucky92's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hows that any different than normal? All the wires looked to be in previously untouched condition. No breaks in the insulation, and no internal wire breaks. Continuity checks always came back good wherever I tested. -
Welcome Ray! Scranton.... PA ?

Rebuilt Justy engine pic's
backwoodsboy replied to ferox's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Teh hotness! Actually, having just rebuilt an engine myself, I can really appreciate how much work that was. Very nice looking finished engine! -
Subaru has 3 "shapes" that are available in multiple part #s. 16546AA10A & 16546AA090 - These two are (nearly) identical to each other. 16546AA12A is the same style as well. All are square 16546AA080 & 16546AA020 are the short rectangle shape but the 080 is much more expensive (with better filtration) Then you have the long rectangular style that is only available in the 16546AA07A They all have different "flow" charachteristics... I think Subaru is "overengineering" their filters
