I've had the Weber on my 87 mounted backward for about 3 years. I did my linkage a bit different though. Seems like great minds think alike. Lol

Oh the intermittent wipers. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Also yesterday found out my intermittents are no longer operational at all. RIP intermittent setting. My two favorite issues with my wonderful sedan are my sticky hill holder that works fine until I'm in the worst possible place for it to just stick. I put up with it for almost two years, last week got in a pinch with it stuck on... Hack saw to the cable fixed that issue. The other issue which is more comical to me than anything is that my car idles about 300 rpm higher when it's full of fuel than when it's below half a tank.

Anybody know off hand what the torque is on the 6 bolts?

Thanks everybody. I stopped by the dealer today and picked them up. Didn't have any issues with the bolts. I don't have it apart yet I just pulled the bolts out and cleaned them up. I'll get back to it on Saturday

Thanks. I figured it was just a gasket replacement.

So I noticed today that the car... 87 gl sedan with a weber... is leaking coolant from right where my intake bolts to the head on my driver side. Idk why it would be leaking there, is there a coolant line there? I know there is the actual coolant line running by the intake there but it is clearly leaking from the gasket between the head and intake. Can anybody shed some light on why it would be leaking there?

Spray the hell out of it with penetrating oil. I always put a vice grip around the shock shaft as high up as I can. That method has always worked for me

I'm no longer in Eugene. I'm from Medford, was up in Eugene for school. I graduated in march so I'm back down in Medford. I'll be doing all the machine work. We have a world class machine shop at work, so this winter when things slow down a bit I'll be able to have the guys do some work on the side for me. I'm really looking forward to getting back up there to see some friends and have another go at some of the trails I couldn't clear before I got the car lifted with bigger tires.

Did you put the rubber isolators back in on the top of the shock? Even with everything tight it clunk like you are bottoming out but its just the metal on metal hitting. I did the swap with my lift block on top and was getting the bottom out clunk almost every time I was hitting a bump. I eventually swapped in outback rear shocks and made new top blocks to account for the different top mounts.

Same here. Just acquired my 2.2. Its got low compression but I plan to go through the whole thing anyway and do a full rebuild. But I replaced my crank seal and the smoke screen went away. Give it a couple days and hit those corners hot again. It would usually take me a couple days to pool enough oil for it to splash and smoke.

When I was leaking a bit of oil, it used to pool up somewhere under the car, and when I went around a long corner at higher speeds I would leave an awesome smoke screen. I was formerly also in Eugene, the car would do it on the long corner coming from LCC merging to 30th and then on the 115 in the long corner by the delta hwy exit .

I spent my day today timing magnetos to recip engines on a couple 100 series cessnas. This got me thinking about the timing on my car... 87 sedan that has been webberized. I'm very ashamed to say that I can time magnetos in my sleep but don't understand how to change the timing on my car. I've read a bunch tonight about it tonight and I'm still in the dark. Can we have a discussion on how to find or advance the timing? Obviously I know what timing marks are and how to rotate the disty. I know how it all works, but I don't understand the process of using a timing light and whatnot. Anybody have links to a FSM on the subject or want to run me through the process. I have no idea what my timing is at... I know stock carbed ea82's speced 8 degrees dbtdc, but guys recommend 20 for webbers... My car runs great, but today got me thinking and now I need to know more. This whole thing is very frustrating for me.

I had full 2 inch run from the engine back with my magna flow muffler for 300.

The lovely girlfriend is now driving her own car. My insurance that she used to be on just renewed and low and behold my insurance went up 40 dollars a month... Turns out she got a ticket for doing 92 in a 55 safety zone on the freeway. Her excuse, was that she was doing 75 and a car came speeding up on her so she sped up so the car wouldn't be tailgating her. That car was a state trooper. So she doesn't drive the sti anymore, and now pays her own insurance as well as the difference on mine.
