those 4 digits are not part numbers in the diagram, they are month 00 and year 00 codes. if you call a subaru part department they will be able to give you the part number. its been superceeded a few times and as far as I know, the rear main seal is the same for all pre2009 subaru 4 cyl engines back to the ej22. -

I'm looking to get timing belt service on my '97 impreza. Please let me know if you can help me out! You can email me @ ayemiller@gmail.com or call 717-813-5523. I live in the philadelphia area.

if your only putting in a clutch fork, you can split the trans from the engine a few inches and do it that way. no need to totally remove either of them.

your not going to be able to "hammer" those dents out. there are baffles in the bottom of the pan that will keep you from getting to the dents. pick up a used one from somewhere. heck, i have 3-4 laying around in my shop if you need one.

Oil Pan Leak
svxpert replied to eppoh's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
well, depending on where the dent is located on the pan, you may want to replace. if the pickup tube is damaged, you could have a nasty oil starvation problem. just ask some of the 2004-2008 EJ255/257 owners! -
leather, cloth, power or manual?

cork gaskets were phased out by subaru back in the ole' ea82 days. back in the day I would use a torch to burn off the old cork gasket and then a wire wheel to finish it off. what a P.I.T.A. silicone is used for oil pan gaskets now. silicone oil pan gaskets done correctly will last the life of the car. i have never had any problems with the ones I do in my shop.

Your name came up no an XT6 site. I am looking for a mechanic (or just someone) that can swap engine and possibly transmission from my wrecked 95 SVX to my 1989 Subaru XT6.
Both are autos and both have 4.44 gears. TomSVX converted my XT6 to 4.44. I just want the 4.44 gear and tranny out of the SVX since I have a Level 10 shift kit on there. Most important is the engine though.
I'm in Delaware! Are you interested?

when you had the engine apart did you do the water pump, pcv and any idlers? did the felpro kit come with the oil pump seal and cam seals?

<<I asked the service guy "Am I making too big of a deal about this? Would you buy one that hadn't already had the headgasket replaced?" His answer: an emphatic "NO.">> <<Please don't take this as a sign of disrespect, but when you have access to a factory trained mechanic who has worked on literally hundreds of these things, you'd be wise to follow his advice.>> wait, did you say you asked the service guy or the factory trained mechanic? im confused?

Hello, i would like to know where your shop is. I'm in New York City and have a Subaru Legacy 1997 120,000 miles. I need to change the timing belt and was wondering the price range on labor and parts (timing belt kit).

i cant see anything in that pic other than some type of sealant hack job someone put on the rear main seal. the seal goes on with a touch of oil only.
-
haha, have it in my spec b, only because it standard. i hate it. we opted out of it in my wifes tribeca and outback. get a stand alone like mentioned above.
