Oh snap man! lol thank you! i would have never found that! ill try it tomorrow and see if that works

i did remove the bellhousing and the wrist pins. i read the manual and it says to remove the bolts behind the gear connected to the cam shaft. then pull camshaft toward the back. but thats it. ive double checked over and over again if there were any bolts forgotten but we have gotten them all. it seems as tho the manual skips over the splitting the case step. its very vague for a service manual i would say. but ya i dont know what the deal is, figured maybe you guys have run into this problemo before

today we took out all the bolts and nuts that hold the case together. even the ones for the plate behind the cam shaft gear. But the damn thing wont come apart! what am i doing wrong? is there a special way of going about it or am i proving once again how much of a ********************* i am again?

dude im doing it at western

well today we took the heads off and that was about it. apparently my partner dosent want to be patient and take it slow, because she had the heads half way off before i was there and mixed all the parts up! no worries i sorted them out and figured out which rods and arms came from which side. im guessing she is gonna want to crack the case open on wensday so i guess if i could get some tips on battling the piston heads would be nice. from what i understand you have to pull the plug that is on the side of the case and undo a snap ring? thank you for helpin me out with some info by the way.

We have not made any more progress lately.... still waitin for service manual

that would be awesome if someone could post a picture of their homemade tool! that way i could make one and impress the girl who is doing the rebuild with me! lol jk but ill def look at the starter hole again when i get there on monday and let you know... and def keep you guys posted cause i may need some more knowledge.. thanks

there were no stickers indicating whether or not it is hydrolic lifters or not. last night i tore just about everything off of it so now it is just the case and heads. i want to wait till the service manual gets here or i know more about it before i try cracking it open..... i heard the pistons were the biggest pain in the arse to get out though? somehing about lining up perfectly? well anyway the stamp was in the front right on top towards the pully system

hey thanks guys.... its weird just knowing what cars it was used in and the basics helps make it feel more comfortable while working on it. ill definately invest on the shop manual tho for all the specs and timing.

Hi im here looking for help. i am in an intro to power mechanics class and im rebuilding a subaru engine the only identifying number i could find was EA71. im looking for any kind of information possible about this motor. i dont know what year or model it came out of. i figure if i can read up on it as much as possible than i can dissassemble and rebuild it efficiantly. for the assignment it is not required to run when its reassembled but to me that defeats the purpose. but any information will help thanks
