Welcome veronicas71. Good luck with the '83--keep us up on how it's going (pix would be nice!)

Welcome SubaruGL. Congrats on the wagon--looks like you got a real prize there. Keep us posted on your progress. Best of luck.

Welcome aboard, wplocal. Great place here for all things Subaru. Sounds like you got yourself a pretty good one (might want to consider selling the g20 instead!!!)

Welcome aboard, zacyork. If you like Subies (and obviously you do!) you'll love this place. Look forward to your input.

Call Jason at 866-528-5282--he's the Parts Manager at Mike Scarff Subaru in Auburn WA. Nice guy, good prices.

Stick around. You will be!!!

That's a great shot! Now go wash your mouth out!

Arrrrgh! Welcome aboard, Puddles. Y' found a good port here for anything Subaru. So what flavor did you get? Sorry about all that you guys have had to endure--hope things are getting a bit back to normal down there.

Hi, Gary--check out the "Similar Threads" at the bottom of the page.

Looks kinda like a guard/shield that goes over the accessory belts--but not a shape that I recognize. How big is it?

Hi Nick (from another Nick!) You really ought to post technical questions like this in the New Gen Forum. You'll get more responses and it'll be more accessible to folks in the future.

I think you're golden--no guides on EJ22 engines (to the best of my knowledge.) So, are you gonna sleep well tonight? Did you fire her up?

In my opinion any certified 10W30 (or 5W30) is just fine. Even a 5-qt jug from WalMart! But stick with a quality filter--Pure One from Purolator, Wix or NAPA Gold (which is made by Wix). Now . . . y' wanna talk religion or politics?!!

Welcome aboard, darsdoug. Yup, you've been bit! And you've found a good home here.

Yup!

Crank sprocket only goes on one way, aligned by keyway and woodruff key. Cam pulleys line up with small hash mark on front of rim to notch on TB rear cover. Try a search on here--there are tons of posts on TB replacement, some with pix. Good luck.

Forget TDC. Look at the reluctors on the back of the crank pulley--one of them has a small hash mark. Line that mark up to the notch.

CFK, what engine are you working on--2.2 or 2.5SOHC? What marks are you using to line up the crank and cams?

The best advertising is good word-of-mouth! (And I spent most of my career working in advertising.) As far as customers, "If you build it they will come!" May take awhile but in this age of social media it's happening more and more. Just wish I lived closer to Portland or Denver so I could turn to people like GD and Shawn. All the best, guys.

Try a search for, say, noisy lifters! Been discussed a lot.

Maybe this blast-from-the-past can help! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41301&highlight=poof Good luck.

Drives me nuts when references say to use an "appropriate size bolt!" :-\ Replaced rear rotors on my wife's Maxima last week--just sprayed PB Blaster in the holes for the lug studs and some more around the hubs from behind and let 'em soak for awhile. Then a bit of tapping with a hammer and a block of wood popped them loose. Good luck.

Where did you find it? How did it come off? I'm guessing it's some kind of resonator/silencer on the air intake system--but without more info really don't know.

Congrats Subaruser. That's gotta' be a great feeling!

Been following this thread since it started. It's fascinating. I feel like we're so close! YAY!!!
