this is great info ill take into consideration for the hew engine. does the accel coil just hook right up to the stock one, or will i have to splice and dice anything?

i am selling my ea82t engine. check it out here http://usmb.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=83424#post83424 thanks.

i think it looks nice. pretty unique and cool. i would drive that guy around, i bet you get a lot of looks and questions huh? how did you get the tcase to hook up? and do the lift, is still just a huge body lift or are there any suspention mods done? i am very curious as to how this works. in all retrospect how does it fair off road as compared to its more popular counterparts(jeeps and trucks)? looks good none the less.

yes training commands suck. my c school was in san diego and honestly it was a blast. there were only 20 marines on like the entire base(nas coronado) and out of that 20 like 5 were instructors. so you can imagine we all hung out regardless of rank, and partied our asses off. now a school that was a little diffrent . but this was a long time ago. my sister is stationed at cherry point. really it is no better than camp lejeune, or beaufort for that matter. in fact the entire east coast sucks for bases. the west coast is sweet, not to mention you guys have all the prime 4 wheeling places. have you ever been to pine valley? it is off um 15? the highway that takes you into san diego. it runs past gordons well and ocotillo well. actually all 3 of those places are sweet wheeling spots. pine valley is my fav though. it is in the mountains and there is some nice trails riding there, great for a suby. also some good camping. if you want to know of any wheeling spot there or no more than 2 hours away, i know of a few rally good ones. just let me know.

well that is good to know ill keep that in mind for next time.however, my heads were cracked all the way through. my pistons skirts were tore to hell, and it had 180k on it so i might as well just replace it. that is good to know about the small crack though. i guess the amount of material used in between the valves just isnt enough and so it cracks.

i agree, so far your the only one i know of, and we havent met. whats your mos, im a 6072 ground support equipment mech. i am with a 53 training sqdn. we train pilots and crewcheifs. well they do, i just get and fix gear to service the bird.

yes i originally bought the set from advanced for 148. its a good complete set with all felpro gaskets, but my heads were cracked, so i got the new engine. ill just change the valvecover gaskets and maybe the rear main.

well, ill be sure to let everyone know the quality of the engine as soon as i get t in about a week. i am guessing it has at least gen 2 heads as that is what mine has and its an 87. no biggie, i got 180k out of that one. i will be sure to let everyone know. 1 question though, doesnt the jdm version have less hp than the usa version. i thought the jdm had 129hp and the us had 139hp? i dont know, it is an engine and it should work most importantly before the snow starts to fall.

although i dont live on the west coast, couldnt you get on marine online and try to locate any old buddies you have that might be stationed at 29 palms, miramar, or penalton? i have done this and they were more than willing to help out an old friend. thats what ,akes the corps so great, you have friends everywhere. are you going to be stationed at 29 palms, or yuma. is it permanant or are you just going to cax/ wti? good luck anyway.

ok well i took the engine out and tore off the heads. they were gen 2 heads and yes they were cracked inbetween the valves. so instead of paying for new heads i bought a newer one off ebay with about 35k on it. it is a jdm import and should be a direct bolt in. it comes with everything except the turbo, which i have. if anyone cares to look at it it can be found here-http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2448743392#ebayphotohosting thanks .

thanks

well ive decided to go ahead and try to fix it. i can get the parts pretty cheap, and i know more than capable of doing it, i just havent done any old school engines, just ej's, but i think they should be similar. now asuming my heads are not craked, but are warped(evebthough i didnt over heat it), what is acceptable for shaving? i think i read .010" is this correct? i was planning to do both heads since i was pulling the engine and replacing most seals eventhough most were already done in the summer(about7k ago) so ill just use judgement on the rest. what should i look for in the cooling system, just debris, and the like. i have already installed new hoses, pressure checked the radiator and block my last oil change, but i will be sure to look it over. has anyone done a writeup on this i could check into? if not i will. thanks for the replies. oh one more thing, how do i tell which generation head i have? thanks.

well the engine just had the front end done about 7k ago(timing belt, water pump, etc), so i just have to do the heads. so i do have to take the cams off, but i can leave the valves in the head right. also where at do they crack so i can be sure to check, is it around the valve seats or cooling jackets? honestly would i be better off just getting a new rebuilt engine? i can pick one up for about 6-800 i think. and thats for a long block.

i searched around and i couldnt find what i was looking for as i have not really worked on the old ea82t s much. but my question is, is do i have to take the valves and cams and such off in order to take the heads off? i was thinking i just had to take the timing belt off then just pull the heads off. can someone please give me some insight. if the heads arent warped, this should just take about a day right? my engine is a 87 and i didnt think it had pushrods.

well my scoob is approaching 200k mi, and it finally happened. a blown head gasket, which couldnt have come at a better time as i am broke. i wont ask how hard this is to do as i am sure a lot of people have asked, but if anyone can share some tips that might make it easier i would appreciate that. i am planning on pulling the engine out to do it. it is a 87 gl10 ea82t 4wd. just thought i would share, the great news.

yes we only get snow about once a year hear on the east coast, but im very excited about it. i too dont beat my car very much, as it is my daily driver, but soon ill be looking for another one with a d/r to beat.

thanks for the replies. i wasnt aware of nasioc being ricer. i just went to the "old school" forum as au subaru is austrailian. i look foward to chatting to everyone.

tell me about this honda spring mod. what year honda, and where(aside from searching a million posts)can i find out about these unritten little cheap mods. if you dont mid. i really like your scoob, it is the same as mine, even the color. holy crap i didnt even notice you painted your grill black! i did too. edit: i found the post about the accord. what about anyother cheap helpful mods you may know.

wow that suby is just like mine. does your have the d/r in it, and are you running any lift to fit those tires?. also how did you get the 14s did you do the toyota rim drill. i am curious because i would love to have bigger tires. anyway your car looks great, and i love the bumper.

hello everyone, my name is jason(iluvdrt) and i have an 87 gl-10, non low range, ea82t wagon. it is my daily driver with 170k on the clock. i do, do some offroading(when my wife isnt with me, and enjoy a lot. this is my second scoob, my first being an 84 gl wagon, ea81 with d/r trans. i miss it. i am a member of au subaru, and have tried to register on nasoic( but after 3 mo i still havent gotten my email confermation( hint to those who are registered there, its the same email and name as here)). oh on a side note i was a scoob mech for about a year at a dealer back home so hopefully ill be able to help out some. i am looking forward to making some new e- friends. later.
