My sister had this exact issue a few years back. We correlated the timing of it to the visit of the USS The Sullivans to Penn's Landing in Philly. It is a guess, couldn't be proved, but it seems plausible. I did a quick search and found this interesting article from '04. http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A28217-2004Jul4?language=printer -
Cool... thanks for the input. My boot is toast... since I'll be in there that's just another item to be replaced. The smaller end still has the spring but the wide end is history. That's nuts that one turn too many is so noticeable. I will keep an eye on this closely. Thanks again!

I'm curious on how this worked out for you. I am about to attempt the same thing on my 95 lego.

They also extend the life of your rubber boots.

http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/1860218242.html I have this in the other forum but wanted to maximize its traffic by having it posted here too... I just think this deal is way too good to be true, or if it is true, and a no-rust car, great score! For $100?!?!?

That ball-chain is for the cruise control iirc. -

congrats on the purchase, and welcome! Is this a manual trans? If so, check that your clutch cable is routed properly (under heater hoses). Seems insignificant but it makes an enormous difference. Then adjust it with the two nuts that tighten the cable to the fork. Also, there are two FFs,... engine bay and under the car passenger side in front of the rear tire. -
unhook the positive, leave unhooked for 45min or so, then re-connect and you good-to-go.

Pine Barrens New Jersey ALL Week long
'84 Flat-Four replied to moosens's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Damnit! Those fools live in North Jersey! This state really needs to be split up like N & S Carolina or something. All them Northern Jerseyians are NY fans, while down here in South Jersey we're all Philly fans. Down here we don't pop our collars, wear 2x small polo-shirts, wear sprayon-tans, etc. That crap is entirely Northern Jersey foolishness... I just needed to make that distinction. -
Welcome to the new gen! I also felt lost after picking up my 95 legacy. I started with an 84 with the ea81. Such a simple and solid engine to work on. You'll get used to EJs in no time. And by the way, is there an EJ 2.2 in there? Have to ask...

update: all put back together, re-sealed, and running like a champ. Thanks everyone! And yes, the 6x1 pitch 50mm long bolt is the exact right one for the bottom ds hole. its funny that i thought the hardened black o-rings were washers or part of the component... wow were the rings toast! USMB rocks!

It is definitely the long bolt, does anyone know the length ? I'll see if I can pick one up tonight at the hardware store.
