I bought a kent moore wheel berring install tool specificaly designed for subaru front and rear berrings dose them on car cost 1500 $ but have done over 500 berrings with it

watch out for worn hubs ! have seen many wear the hub where the berring rides and the new berring will not sit tight on hub and works loose and wreaks new berring have had at least 10 thiss year all bad hubs happens from running with loose axle nut or the wrong axle nuts there are some that the collar of the nut is bigger and dosent titen up right thiss problem comes up alot right after axle jobs

plug wires wrong cly or way retarded timing what did you set the timing to ? should be 8-10 btdc with vacume didconected and pluged

the over preshure switch on the recever dryer mabee to mutch preshure and will not alow it to turn on

alt is over chaging and belw the bulbs check carging voltage no more than 14.5 running with everything turned off at 3000 rpms

dont orbital grind the block have seen damage up to 6 thow from theese tools and can get grinding debrie into engine should be torn down and surfaced and reberringed will save you mutch greif

use a cherry picker with a long strap to lower trans down works spanky i bett your clutch looks like that blownout springs. I agree with the exedy clutch kitt top notch

oil pump seals .

the back side of release fork gets dryed out have had luck spraying a bitt of lube down from above fork to losen it up

riding the clutch ? or just cheap rivits watch out for china clutches the rivit steel quality is very low

The berring on the end of main shaft is the one that fails but will not damage clutch have seen many fail but never seen it do clutch damage sounds like poor sping quality in disk to me i see lots that springs are hamered out cheaper clutchs ar't always a good deal try a exedy one

One small tip have been running into the clutch peadal stuck to floor when hot engine the fix i found was to change out the fliud to dott 4 has a higher boiling point thiss seems to fix problem still a pain to bleed

Did a engine on 05 forester other day had to teardown to crank had the # 1 rod berring was bad had been run low on oil and caught just before damage just enuff to wipe the berring but only #1 the rest where fine anway when they are run low it hurts #1 first anyway thats # 6 in last two months all bad rod berrings

come from the bottom with a big bar and lock it in ring gear agaist the block works well may take two people

I see them burn oil when the oilring spacer gets worn in one spot you can see it on the ring spacer gets a realy shiny spot on it when it gets worn i bitt it cant push the oil scraper rings out enuff and oil bypases the rings needs to be reringed

love it !!! ahh the rust will wear of the cly walls soon enuff

in the last year have rebiult 40 engines of those 15 had at least two loose screws on oil pump plate the top 3 screws dosent seem to matter 2.2 2.5 year or milage its like they where missed at factory theese are all engines that oilpump had never been off even with as low as 90000kms loose screws i however could not see thiss causing a leak non of theese engines where leaking from pump unless had a black seal that was cracked

carefull messing with injectors as it will dump feul into piston and could hydroilic engine and bend rod i do come across dead injectors from time to time but never more than one and they are ushaly water or rust damaged

feul pump and feul pump check power distibution box have seen fuses that have shook loose cause thiss had impreza that the 30 amp fuse had broken end and was just barly contacting had very intermitant starting problem the fuses dont have to look bad to be bad

Thiss may help when i do theese trannys i use the cherry picker with a long strap lower it down from above and hook to were the strut brace bolts up then you can lift it up on the front while someone holds up the back works very well and no heavy lifting and it will hang so you can move it into place thiss is how i did them for years untill i got a hoist and tranny jack. I charge 500 for install with a cherry picker and a buddy should take you about 4 hours

get the odd ig mod that loses one side but whould be dead on 2/4 or 3/1 and is very rare to go bad timing belt or burnt valve or the idle moter is come unpluged they send the injector pulse through the idle moter to give it its signal if its unpluged or damaged will not fire #1 injector put a noid light on injector and look for injector pulse

the late model ea81 is hydrolic lifter type if oil preshure is low will tick thiss engine dumps off its exsess oil preshure through the pushrods and rocker assembly they put restictions in the rocker shafts to hold the oil preshure in the block the last one i had with low preshure had a bashed pan that had been pushed tight to oil pickup screen and was restriting the oil pickup screen

what the heck is mph lol 80 kph 2500 -2200 rpm

bicyicle shops have cable end addaptors for bike cables try there or old volksy vans or bettles bow wow or avr

was going to say cam sprockets on wrong sides
