    As long as they use steel gaskets they will never fix the problem If they whent back to grafite gaskets problems would be gone but steel gasket between to aluminum surfaces will never last

    have had a few of that year doing that some came with a 7mm oil pump and I think it was to small to mantian enuff preshure so bottom end starves for oil

    even with no valve seal would be minor smoke the ea81s proved this as they ran no ex valve seal valves dont make it burn oil rings do

    My 81 brat has full deuls two glasspacks xover and two bike mufflers one on each side blows rings out both side when cold and loud but not to loud did not make any power diff but sounds cool

    Valves seals all same on ejs but doubt is valves

    The piston oil ring oil feed hole should have been cleaned out and new rings this is your problem in those years they use very thin oil rings and they plugup badly try a cupple oil changes in a row may fix it or rering it. Oil burning was a big problem on those years oil rings just to small

    We just couldent get standard trans to hold up to high hp no matter what. Keeping in mind my auto is not compleatly stock we put outback forward clutchpack and drum into the early 4eat gives me two wide clutchs instead of 3 thin clutchs and tougher basket other than that stock. I also only use 1rst / 2nd gears have no need for rest as it will do 110 kms in 2nd. Sorry a'm not trying to tell you guys what to do just what worked for me. A'm going on to almost 18 years of bagen subarus in the bush and many many hours of subaru offroad in many difernt setup subarus.

    Make cardboard drawings of front / rear covers and mark bolt holes on it so yo can keep all bolts in order of were they go this saved me hours. And took minutes had 6 or 8 templates this is the best way i can think of as many of the bolts were differnt lengths
