  1. so why does it matter if it breaks. seriously mine slips and doesnt seem like any help its more natural not to use it anyway
  2. i work at an aluminum foundry, you are very correct. to make a nicer alloy is basically only pennies more. it HAD to boil down to what subaru spec'd on thier blueprints
  3. what is typically wrong when this appears? symptom (other than the check engine light) is miss at idle.
  4. update the leak rate is about 60% less than it was before the work. i had to drive it enough to compare. yes its fair to say the overall dia is pretty close to your figures. there was a heavy groove worn in the crank.
  5. that part is where the ring of metal was torn off the sleve. the seal rides just behind that area. im positive the increased diameter (overall within tolerances) would perhaps cause slightly more wear and a tighter fit.
  6. ugh hours and hours of work WASTED still leaks i used oem seal, loktite blue on outer waited overnight for it to cure before starting used extreme care when installing seal made shure it was flush with block with a straightedge
  7. will do. used the last of my loctite blue on her.
  8. i had it in about 4mm more when i installed it (last year). leaks HORRIBLE quart an hour
  9. holy crap looks like an itialian car from the late 70's:eek:
  10. ok i have a new seal ready to go in (obviously not pictured) but i need to know the monting depth. damn do i ever wish i had the factory tool for this. i had it set deeper but it moved on me... it wasnt crooked like that. (theres also a speedy sleeve that made no diffrence.)
  11. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Subaru-XT6-xt6-1991-Subaru-XT6-All-Wheel-and-4x4_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6467QQihZ015QQitemZ250234226311QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW kinda sad shape
  12. for some reason i thought yours had t-tops whats going on with the wheels
  13. ive never seen one like your first they are nice what would someone do with 2 mismatched wheels
  14. ive been reading the "road test" kinda hard its very small but they mention the rally spec getting a bigger front swaybar. i cant for the life of me see why they would want that. they say a front lsd made the car undriveable on loose surfaces, i could imagine that. what happened here? looks like they had an accident? or are running no castor?
  15. subaru wheels painted like enkies anyone know what the center caps are supposed to look like on these?
  16. id guess one of the timing belts is off a little
