The brown is the neutral position switch. Separate at the top of the tranny the resistance of the switch should be more than 1Mohm. O.

The head and exhaust are modified EZ30 units. The big problem is that the EJ259 had 3 cats and 5 O2 sensors! O.

When you say case bolts, are you referring to the head bolts or the bolts that secure the two halves together? AFAIK all the NA 2.2 bolts are the same. O.

The 96 2.2 is non interference. If the OP doesn't know how to fill and properly burp the system, it will continue to overheat. Do search for burping the system. If you can get it pressure tested, that will determine the source of the leak, but from what you've said it again leads to the radiator. With this mileage, you might as well replace the hose from the water pump that feeds the water bypass pipe (the pipe that feeds the throttle body). O.

DIY Head Resurfacing... or "Post-apocalyptic machine shop techniques!" - Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales... - Ultimate Subaru Message Board Should help with resurfacing Don't know what went wrong the first time, but .... O.

Craftsman had a stud extractor like Irwin. The current Irwin reg set doesn't have an extractor for the 10mm tho, O

RockAuto lists different KYB units for rear struts. O.

if they mounted, you put put them on right. If not the slide pins would've been on the outside and they couldn't mount. O.

The preferred replacement is the Subaru HG intended for the turbo motors, they are MLS. The Fel Pro, Six Star and Cometic MLS units are all good. Head prep is essential either DIY or machine shop. O.

NGK or Bosch/. O.

aren't you going to change it? .

This should help. https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1265631 O.

check the elbow hose that goes from the pump to the water bypass pipe that feeds the throttle body. O.

Scratching my head here. Try changing the coolant temp sensor .. O.

Has the water pump ever been changed? O.

Is the Tstat oem or Stant 48457? Bubbles in overflow bottle? Have you been using Subaru's "conditioner"? Dried antifreeze at head seams? Unfortunately, it sounds a lot like HG. You are going to cook your bearings driving like this. O.

You can check compatibility by checking sites like RockAuto or an online dealer and see if they use the same numbers. O.

This is the passenger side , right? If so that is the hole where the gear oil dipstick goes in. If you don't have it, go to a bone yard and get one. FSM : here:https://sl-i.net/FORUM/showthread.php?18087-Subaru-Factory-Service-Manuals-(FSM)-Every-Model-USDM-EU O.

don't know what the going prices are out there, but take into consideration the following. It's still a 21 year old car. The timing belt has to be changed and the bushings should be checked for dry rot. Here in NY state it would be a $1000=1200 car. O.

Good to know. Thanks

First, I don't have a turbo at least not yet. Second, it would have made more sense to me to make a sturdier pick up tube, rather than a $700 pan and tube as in the Killer B. O.
