certainly an eye catcher

wait. what? you're giving mixed messages!

no. fel-pro gaskets and altrom bolts

The dealership is required to figure it out, as the car is still under warranty, i would assume. go back and make a scene in front of as many customers as possible. That will get their attention Do you know what diagnostics have they done?

Well that's different. Nice to see some initiative!

craigslist or a used tire shop

It said on the head gasket package, to get new bolts. What they told me in my automotive tech class was to never re-use TTY bolts, which IS what the EJ22 has. So my training is clashing with what a bunch of people on the internet said. I trust you guys, but I NEED this car to be right the first time PS, i bought new bolts, but they were 100 DOLLARS! and i pay cost prices, not list! So i am ready to return them if i can

been searching, and it was said that you could reuse the bolts once? I need this car to last another 230000 miles

So i have been told several things about replacing the headbolts on an ej22. yes you should, no you dont have to, and i need to know which it is. Someone on here said they are not TTY bolts, but i know that they are. So which is it? replace or no? thanks

Also, I am dropping the heads off at the machine shop tomorrow and the car should be done Wednesday or Thursday

I was going to say, just get some rubber gloves. we've got em in our shop. we go through a box a day almost. works great

More stuff now that the board is back up More lights!

My local napa has two employees. One of them is a retired Subaru mechanic, and has always helped me out. They've never steered me wrong

On of the guys at my shop had some issues importing a JDM car. Might have something to do with it being a Nissan Skyline though... He had to have it shipped to a state on the east coast, maryland IIRC, which has funky laws. It had to sit there for a few months, then a guy drove it across the country, where we had to equip the motor with EGR. PITA Also, i found one not too far from my house http://skagit.craigslist.org/cto/1755724115.html and another in seattle http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/1787657615.html I would be happy to help you obtain it

Whats the biggest tire on a 14" rim that you could put on a 1st gen legacy? I've been looking at other member's rigs, and it looks like a 205/75/R14 could fit... any comments appreciated!

did you have any tire rub?

So will this header fit on 1st gen legacy's with the dual port exhaust?

Exhaust detected in the coolant. headgasket for sure. And i already have the yellow funnel Napa pro-link quote: Felpro head gasket felpro valve cover gasket tru flow water pump and gasket Napa B&H timing belt felpro intake manifold gasket felpro exhaust gasket Balkamp block heater +____________________ 276.90 including tax + $75 for machining heads

you can put the 4EAT in a 50/50 split by shifting into 3rd and pressing the button under the shift lock. Just wanted to throw that out there, I dont know if you knew that not. Edit: and now that i've read the whole thread, i'll shut up. sounds interesting!

I know its a headgasket. The coolant goes into the cylinders, and the motor overheats. I am going to do the dye test this afternoon

The allen key is under the center console armrest. Flip it open and you should see it there

It's a headgasket. And it has a new radiator and cap thanks to the PO I went through it today and disassembled the dash and center console and cleaned everything. I found candy wrappers under the parking brake cables!
