I am facing the same task soon. I am going to use a piece of plexiglass. I will cut a hole for the ea shaft to slide through, line the bottom edge up and spot and cleco the bottom two holes that are shared with the ej. I'm going to pick up the ea holes, cleco it tightly to the bellhousing and trace it. Label the face side 'EA'. Now when I remove it I have a cartoon of the ea shape and two holes to line it up to the ej with. I'll repeat the same process, pick up the ej holes and trace the ej flange. I'll label that side 'EJ'. I can now make the exact adapter shape from the plexi and lay it on the metal to transfer it. I am considering ".500 5052 aluminum over steel as the aluminum will be easier for me to cut and shape with the tools I have* (though the metal cost is higher) *whimpy band saw, drill press, 90 degree die grinder with cross cut files, hand files, 2,3 and 4" sanding discs etc

Welcome, I spent several months in Palmer rebuilding a NAC plane at the field. I had a pretty good time when we weren't working, went to the glaciers with a Cub and did all kinds of cool stuff.

:lol::lol::lol: ROFLMAO I need one of those at work, are you taking orders?

Sorry I missed this on the first go, very cool.

Got an email today, one part was holding the order up. It is supposed to ship Wednesday. Not clear which part was so obscure, they have very low shipping so I don't mind that it was held rather than sent in multiple packages - it isn't time critical. On the other hand their website does not appear to function quite right, the link they sent in the email goes to a 'moved page error' and it gets circular and convoluted form there. The end result is that the 'account/order status' link can be found on the home page, it lets you log in but it does not seem to have any way to actually view your order and takes you back to the log in screen, roundy roundy. I used different browsers, script permissions and allowed third party cookie handling exceptions... kind of silly to send a link in the email that doesn't actually uh... link. The point made here, that going local might be best, is a damn good point.

holy crap I laughed at that, is that like hand selected parking lot gravel with a sticky side out duct tape belt?

that's kind of cool to hear some of the history, some pics in another thread would be nice to see

bought more parts... someday I have to start putting them on :-\

see the title had me thinking this was a whole other subject, that someone had finally had enough and was going to shoot their crank pulley... I was open to the idea, having had the same idea myself at different times with different repairs +1 for smart rap of the hammer on a breaker bar, the instantaneous impact can break things loose with a minimum of fuss, if you have a well fitting socket and can get the right angle on the bar

I think you answered your own question, you would first have to determine how much was removed from both by comparing dimensions with unmodified parts. Then it's simply a matter of mathematics to calculate the reduction in volume of the cylinder and the corresponding increase in compression resulting from it. But can anyone here divine through the internet the inner workings of your particular engine... not so much. And actually that would scare the hell out of me if they could.

if I can't get 1st to nail down a date, I'll cancel the order and go local I don't know why I hadn't actually considered that

^^^ yeah, twist those suckers

I emailed them. I'd expect some kind of answer Monday. I ordered the parts a while back... they haven't billed my card yet, but the last time I bought from them it was on my door step so fast I couldn't believe it. That was the right control arm, (2007) this is -ahem- the left side (2009)

Placed an order 8 days ago and it's not shipped. Used to be they were lightning fast. Anyone else had this lately?

I am far from the guru... but pulling these engines isn't THAT bad. I'm probably not near as fast as half these guys but I make up for it when the engine is out it because it sooo much easier to work on. It's truly a 6 in one, half dozen in the other deal depending on your abilities. I'd leave it in IF I needed it asap to be back on the road, or IF I had other major work planned for later and it was going to come out for something else. If it ISN'T your daily driver, (DD) then it would be a good time to check the timing belts, replace the pan gasket and rear main etc etc with the engine out.

I put Xt seats in my 90 loyale without swapping seat tracks or messing with the height adjust. ????????? I'm sure he'll need to re use the original tracks, and yes, please post some pics - i'd like to see it

very cool, checked out the vid for the sound, love the tires and the mods... really like the front bumper too was going to ask about the control arm mods - but you had the pics of that those arms like to twist don't they? I've ordered my second one from 1st Subaru I may have to come visit some day, my folks live not too far from you and it'd be fun to walk around and BS in your project yard

overnight, I could have cut it short and used a conversion coating once the majority was off but wanted to see how far it would go

that's just insane, I'm so sorry, what a drag :-\ I wonder if that paint might get me out of speeding tickets? you seem to have invented 'magnetic stealth paint' ; it renders the car invisible but attracts random weird objects side story, speaking of random weird crap; One night I had to change out a city transit bus because one of our buses had been hit by a parked car. It was an interesting scene when I rolled up, the parked car had been on a very steep icy driveway. As the city bus rumbled by it had somehow caused the car to start sliding and it slid backwards down the drive into the street, causing a pretty fair amount of damage at the rear passenger door on the bus and from the rear body panel to the engine access cover. The car was severly damaged, locked, in gear with the brake still set. As I was admiring the scene waiting for the cops to finish figuring out how to report that an unoccupied parked car had struck a moving bus the car's owner drove up with a friend. The cops could hardly keep a straight face. It was quite a few minutes before I was able to take the damaged bus back to the garage and park it for the night. Apparently it got even better when the transit manager had to explain it to the mayor and the city council. He said he had to repeat himself often. I guess the insurance company was also hard of hearing.

It even cleaned the threads of the bolt holes great links from the crew 'splained it all, convert the baking soda to soda ash by cooking it in the oven, and DO NOT use any stainless steel - it'll create hexavalent chromium - lethal and hella toxic to dump down the drain couldn't believe the results

umm, my Korean is pretty rusty, what do I click on above the beefcake studs to download that? ok, found the language bar and switched to english... hey that does look sharp and I think Numbchux will appreciate that you left his name on every page, even the nice title page with the suubie logo nice job, well done
