Repairing a stripped Spark Plug hole
Caboobaroo replied to syphon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I had to heli coil my sparkplug hole before. It wasn't that bad. I went to Car Quest and got the right kit for it and in like 30 minutes if that, it was done. Just make sure not to get any metal shavings down the hole or you might be sorry:banghead: -

Carb problem, she don't wanna run...
Caboobaroo replied to TheNumberOneStunner's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I got another one if ya need it:brow: I just took it off of my 79 4WD wagon:headbang: -
if I parked my red Camaro at a church, it would be burned to the ground in a matter of minutes......thats what happens when you have a license plate like mine WKJ666....we killed Jesus 666......and its not a vanity plate either:eek: it sounds like either your alternator is bad or possibly you could have a bad battery cabl;e or wire so it is not charging the battery all the way

advise on turbo sets on ea81 1800cc motor.
Caboobaroo replied to ryer_s's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
you can get a stock LSD for the rear from an RX but you'll have to change out the front diff as well. Unfortunatly, there is no LSD for the front and so it'll always be an open diff. But good luck in finding a rear LSD because a lot of the people on the board go and grab these as soon as they hit the yard -

Caboobaroo replied to SubaRube's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I wanna do this too and so I was just waitin for someone to start a thread so I could get some info on this as well. Everyone decieds to lift their soobs but me, I've decided to take it to the ground but I need a nice set of rims to go with it. But like we've noticed, there's a lot more options of rims for a different lug pattern than for our own (go figure) unless you can pull the money out of your *bleep* for them. -
2wd to 4wd swaps on sedans???
Caboobaroo replied to tailgatewagon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hondasucks converted his automatic 2wd 82 sedan to a 4wd 4-speed d/r. I think all he did was drop his drive train from his 84 4wd wagon into it and a bit of fabbing later, it was 4wd:brow: -
in a couple of days, I'll hopefully own a 78 Subaru automatic manual that I got off of ebay with a couple of other books. If ya still need help in about a week, lemme know and I can copy some pages for you:D

new water pump and it runs hotter??
Caboobaroo replied to Meeky Moose's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the hoses running into the firewall go to your heater core. If you diconnect those, well it'll get a little chilly in the winter time. Yes do replace your t-stat. It will help with coolant flow which will keep your engine temp down. Like LostWater said, he replaces his once a year which I would also recommend. -

replace your t-stat. If it sat without water on it, it dried up and they will fail when they dry up -
YAY!! My motor is almost finished
Caboobaroo replied to Caboobaroo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I know that they're off of an EA71 equiped car from Japan. I was told that they came on a JDM front cut from a Subaru. Thats basically all I know cause Hondasucks bought them from a guy on the old board who he hasn't heard from for awhile now. -

great new engine paint
Caboobaroo replied to JonOfScio's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
about four cans of foaming engine degreaser, and pressure washing it four times as well. (foam, wash, let dry... repeat) -

Caboobaroo replied to JonOfScio's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I found that if I glass bead the surface of an object,it seems to hold the paint better. I did that to my heads of my EA71. My block, I just used a few cans of engine dereaser and a wire brush followed by the pressure washer. It took me a couple of hours but the paint is sticking really nicely. -

Caboobaroo replied to Caboobaroo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
that manifold is for an EA71. I'v test fitted it by setting it on the top of my motor. Now all I have to do is give Andrew some money for it and then rebuild the carbs and a little paint and *POOF* dual carbs!! -

Caboobaroo replied to Caboobaroo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
don't worry, its gonna get cleaned out before I put my intake on. No my valves aren't blue but if ya look close enough, you'll see the overspray on the valve springs. Now I can tell all the little ricers that "I have hi performace blue racing valve springs":D -
yep, after spending many hours of cleaning and resealing, my motor is almost ready to go back into my car http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo62/AUT_2602 http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo62/AUT_2603 http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo62/AUT_2605 and I'm prolly gonna end up toppin it off with these eventually:D http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo62/AUT_2604 so, what y'all think? Pretty pimp eh?

XT6 flywheel in an EA81?
Caboobaroo replied to Caboobaroo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I was planning on also puttin a d/r 5-speed from an EA82 in there with some minor mods. So it will bolt onto the EA81? Oh and I hope to be pushin a little more than 150hp..... -
