Mounting fog lights to 3rd gen bumper?
czny replied to SmashedGlass's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Mounted mine below the bumper to the front valance/air entrance. Screwed the 'L' shaped brackets directly to top inside surface. -
Sure would. Imagine the whole assembly, clutch cover & disc, oscillating in & out against the TO bearing. The friction disc being flexed on the input shaft splines while the pilot bearing is struggling to keeps things aligned. Mike the friction disc all around to see if the lining is still even. If its thinner toward the outside than the center then pressure wasn't applied evenly - un-square flywheel.

Unusual Temp Fixes To Get You Home
czny replied to roadsubiedog's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Once had a 67 VW Beetle. Back in the early 70s even those were required to retrofit a 'smog device' - a STP branded abortion that choked up the heat risers under the carburetor. One early morning in January driving the Angeles Crest Hwy the throttle iced up! Not fun on a mountain road. Killed the ignition & coasted to a stop. Need heat under that carb. Now! Hooked a 1157 tail light bulb to the choke wire & ground, wrapped the thing up with aluminum foil around the manifold base. Voila! Preheat! -
Check the flywheel depth all around especially comparing the darker areas to the lighter. Straight edge and dial calipers would do. It looks to me like the flywheel wasn't surfaced parallel to clutch cover surface. Ask me how I know....had the same kind of chatter a few years ago after a rebuild & it was a badly ground flywheel.

IIRC there is also some discussion about the flywheel depth dimension being essential to clutch grip pressure. Something about 21mm, 0,821 inch, depth from clutch cover mounting face to friction disc recess face. Some have had their EA82 FWs machined & then running a standard 225mm 4WD clutch with good results. EDIT: here ya go... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/111488-the-strongest-ea-clutch-setup/?hl=%2Bea82+%2Bflywheel+%2Bdepth&do=findComment&comment=935988

Installing SPFI fuel pump on Carbed Wagon
czny replied to ystrdyisgone's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
No, I meant a return line for fuel. Carbed cars do not have this - FI cars do. Its needed to releave the excess pressure/fuel from the FI plumbing up front at the intake manifold. Several others have already done this before - search & you'll find. EDIT: Seems I mis-spoke about the return line. Scanned some pages from the 87 FSM: I was thinking of my carbed 73Chevy 4x4 conversion to TBI. Ooops! -
Installing SPFI fuel pump on Carbed Wagon
czny replied to ystrdyisgone's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
The larger end(12mm) of pump is supply from the tank. The 90* small end(8mm) goes forward to injectors. You'll need to run a 5/16" line for fuel return to tank, all the way. Here's bulk steel tubing:http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-220156 and here:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Steel-Brake-Fuel-Line-Tubing-Coil-Kit-5-16-OD-x-25-foot-Roll-W-10-Tube-Nuts/281275783888?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222008%26algo%3DSIC.MOTORS%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D22769%26meid%3D6970802115268159710%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D9826%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D390825921683&rt=nc -
"Czny, thanks for the tip, I'll do that. I'm thinking I should jack up the tranny too when it comes time to pull the engine?" Yeah, raising the trans enough that the engine mounts studs just clear the crossmember works.

Be sure to pull the radiator before tugging on the engine. Just disconnect the harness connector(s) below/behind the battery - you're not gonna use it for the EJ.
-
I don't see why not. Already has the plugs & thermo-switch in it. There is nothing wrong with this radiator....I luckily found a PNP dual row brass & had it cleaned for myself because I intend to add A/C & perhaps tow with my GL wagon.
-
The 90ish Nissan Pathfinder wheels have better back set for our purposes. And these were stock Nissan wheels for those years. I didn't pay any $60 apiece for these. Grungy used wheels at a PNP were $15 apiece. Those are Hankook 215/75/15 MTs on the Nissan wheel.
-
The radiators for that year all have the same overall dimensions to fit the front end. If you have a manual transmission & no A/C, then a single row is just fine. If you have a manual transmission & A/C, then a single row is probably enough unless you're towing in a desert or up hills. If you have an automatic transmission & A/C then a dual row radiator might be needed. Just my $.02

The one I have listed is all brass. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/145725-ea82-spring-clean/

A radiator shop might be able to solder in a new bung. I have a barely used one for a Loyale(22" between the bottom pins) in Subaru Parts. Where is Slt, CA?
-
Agreed. If it has plastic tanks there isn't much can be done to repair it either. JB Weld but that's a maybe.

Purpose of backing plates on rear discs

Shoot me a PM about disc backing plates. -
88 GL-10 pushed the rear main!
czny replied to MuddyThunder's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
IIRC there are some undersized aftermarket replacement rear main seals out there. Something about the brown seals being the best if you search. -
Yeah, you look at that Die #222 pic & the revision states rivet position moved 6/2007. Don't know if it'll make any difference in their ability to hear, but some feedback from my friend Mike is definitely going to the office.

Be sure to specify loud & clear how you want them shipped. They expedited my order after procrastinating since February - at a cost of $50 UPS Blue to me!!
