over full remember your dipstik is your vent pluged somhow ? stake that rear seal in make sure right way round and all 4 speeds leak a bitt check that detent plugs are tight like to leak there to

they leak from where the oil pump joins the block has a paper gasket and a small orig yo can make the gasket from a paper gasket materal and a generic oring will do make shure you use a sealer on paper gasket tip if you lossen the front engine block bolts a bitt the pump comes out easier if need parts i have 8 of theese engines all good

head gasket head gasket head gasket head gasket and mabe the headgasket two

thank god i live in the land of no smog testing going to try a remote egr valve just for fun comon ford fix are subaru egrs please lol

mainshaft end berring noisy when idling goes away when you push clutch in ? do alot of theese berrings they are weak or piled up awd clutch pack or broke front axle

the rearmost mainshaft berrig take all the load and is a weak berring is identifyed by a growl when car is idling and gos away when you push clutch have had to do two thiss year teardown change berring and reinstall cost about 1500 $ i have a used 3.9 ratio five speed from a 96 legacy rollover here with diff and axles and driveshaft 600$ 235000kms on it

my freind regan in kelowna bc makes them and i uhsaly bolt the ej flywheel to the ea flywheel drill out the bolt holes rotate the holes and drill the other two holes just did one 91 turbo legacy engine in a 88 gl wagon high low wrked well do not use ej flywheel unless willing to modify starter mount

get this problem when i plane the blocks gets to close to the heads its only the 96-98 twin cam 2.5s that have potruding pistons i take the factory 2.5 headgasket apart to get indavidual shims to set head hight to compansate for planing carfull have bent rods from piston to close to head if its a 2.5 d core save some greif and put rod berrings in it before you start they were to small for app some they are always bad even low miles takes abit of work but will last way better

TBI TBI TBI pich dem carbs in the dirt my TBI ea81 runs like a champ and gets milage and the power is better than the webber im shure need on of you webber guys quickly drive up here and race the tbi brat and we can c shure works good night and day from the carb it had

i'm restoring one right now must have over 80-120 hour in it and it had no rust right from the front bumper to the rear all gone through crazy amount of work one down two more to go

have seen a few different configureations of heads now what i can tell you [ do not mixup cams roller cam to roller cam non roler to non roller cam dont run so good if you get it switched i put the newer roller cam train on to the 2.2 turbo heads to get the better valves with roller train first time we just changed the valvetrian and not the cam dident run so happy but did run

runup the old 81 brat hasent run in over a year hit the key boom running tbi works good can sit for long periods and not gum carb had to tap sender unit to get return line gets very good mpg and little better power has anyone got a tbi to work on a 1.6 ea71 whould like to know was going to shorten a ea82 intake to fit i know the rest will work tierd of old carbs that are just plain worn out

the local napa here has a repair ujoint kit for loyales pt # 1-0430 seems to work good bit of a bugger to get old ones out or we cut down the 1980s one pice driveshaft to loyale spec cause they had replacable ujoints

ground ground ground check them all there was probly one atached to the soiliniod you changed there is one on top right side of intake check them all sounds like your electroincs are trying to ground thorgh the shaft bushings or the forward clutch pack has to mutch clearance anting that very inconsistant is caused by electronics not being grounded proper

1/2 inch snapon inpact as tight as you can get theese nuts can not be overtightend by desigin the tighter the better

you need to know ratios yours should be 4.44 and have a screwon oil fillter on side if you take the # off the trany and give it to the dealer they can tell you the ratio thats the only differance ive seen some are 3.90 and 4.11 but you could change the rear diff to match but the electronics are all the same 99-03

otc axle puller you can buy it from tool supplier snapon or some one like that or take the whole knuckle off and put upside down in rim and drift it through with a dead blow hammer this only works good if the knuckle is off car you can put hub in the lug holes to hold it for you

the larger nut actually tightens up to the center hub and not to the axle which is tappered and eventually works loose and ruins the hub where the bearing sits

can this be seen????

not just the heads the block to i do alot of reheadgaskting i fix all the other shops mess most have been orbital grinderd cokie cutter whatever you call the dam things out here the dealership uses those to do there head gaskets cause planing is not coverd under waranty so they do a crap job and a few months later i'm doing the heads agian 95 % of my head jobs are shop damage 5% is natural causes the last dealer head job was 16 bent valves two broke cam pullys suface the heads the owner only got 600000 kms out of it after spending 4000$ on head job gaskets where leaking the day it left dealer as they had rounded all the sealing edges off with grinder over 3 thow

we have napa lordco and gillberts thats all and they do very little dealings with any parts from the us it sucks the dealers are ok and they can rush order parts for me but not cheap we have bought parts online but i live fairly rual so delivery is hard and expensive i'm to the point that my used parts are almost as valuble as new one at least i can get used parts eg needed front brake roters for my 1980 brat found some power slot ones through lordco had to be paid for up front 3 weeks delivery and non returnabble oh and 45$ each coming from califorina

here i dont see any solid valve trains till 98 -up ever the early 2.5 hydroilic till 98 the 2.2 hydroilic till 98 1.8 mabee some are solid did anyone ask thiss guy if it was 2.2 or 2.5 anway nothing will clean out phyical particulate out other than taking it apart and removeing foren particulate

to bad they whont let us canadian hippies across the border probly get thrown in jail just for being from BC

pull its pistons have them knurlled and put them back in shuts up any ive done instantly
