  1. dose crank pully wobble at all ? how bad was front of crank ? and is the timing belt on right ?
  2. So engine in the trunk hook the trans and cvs up and you have one fast ford
  3. Subaru factory thermo only no others will do I a'm constantly having to fix cheesey aftermarket ones changing the thermostat will not fix headgaskets but people keep trying
  4. next is a set of tractor tires so i can dubble class tractor class and b class do my run quwickly change tires and run again back to back and i think they whould look realy cool on buggy anyway is coming togther now first race is merit in end of june
  5. Is there any way to comp test it ? also check when is runing pull oil cap and see if any preshure or blowby coming out of cap mabee to mutch crankcase preshure
  6. I stop on a steep gravel hill and punch it if front wheels spin before rear comes on is problem should be instant awd and dig 4 holes and drive away a good one dosent even spin the front one turn a bad one will spin front tires and rear comes on slow or not at all or violently. The clutches are located in the tailshaft of trans and can be done with trans in car. My first step to diagnose is to put in 2wd fuse and go for long drive this holds the soiliniod open and will clear anything that may be blocking it
  7. Check main trans conectors are pluged in all the way and check air preshure in tires have seen a low tire confuse the trans ecu
  8. What a bugger to change it took me a whole day many seized bolts and came out in 4 peices is somthing to watch for. Its hollow so the salt and dirt gets traped inside it I call boooo on that part was better off with the struts in the back
  9. I do 3 a week dont mix up lifters and check valve clearaces before puting heads on and [surface heads ]
  10. look at the exposed threads of the nut turn in untill they sit were they were prevosly you should be able to see and should take up berring clearance thiss is somthing i never touch leaking or not can of worms do whatever you have to to make shure its in the same spot as before look very close with a good light and you should be able to tell
  11. I also had this on a 2.2 i did headgaskets and still oil in coolant turned out to be the red block half oring was leting oil in when cooling sestem cooled down and went under vacume. It was a real pain to track down I also think head gaskets but this is unfamiliar engine and uses oil coolers and has higher comp and more cly preshures. Are you shure is not deisel in the coolant ? I also think if any subaru head was to crack this whould be the heads that whould be under the most stress. If the headgasket is gone you should see oil leaking externaly at head seam
  12. Have done many 2.2 harness cutdowns I know all the wire coulors with my eyes closed the 2.2 t harness was harder than a regular 2.2 harness is easy to miss somthing or conect the wrong wires mabee damaged your ecu
  13. Engine is fixed runs spanky good now had it pulling wheels off the ground up my street yesterday. I can hit the 3500 stall now is a kick in the pants when you let off the brakes and hit the gas at 3500 the turbo is spooled and she feels like its ready to tear its self apart. I also figured out that i cant stear if my front wheels arnt on the ground.
  14. The more you charge the less you work and the more money you make is funny how it works i'm on engine job #6 since last monday and have a line up up the street. Somdays i wish there was two of me exept one of us whould always want to go fishing
  15. I bought a torque mutypler from snapon put in 250 lbs and get out 1000 ft lbs this works for that bolt it will turn or shear but it will move I love thiss tool no bolt is safe now Best tool i bought thiss year!
  16. Had a 01 outback yesterday that when i hoisted it the rear diff hanger / suspention broke and fell down the frame x member rusted thru i had to tell them was unsafe have never seen thiss before and was broken in a way was very dangerus and could have been catastofic if broke at hyway speeds good thing it broke on hoist. The ps rear wheel had nothing holding it to car other than rear shock and the customer had no idea complant of pulling to ps side
  17. have you changed spin on fillter ? any dents in pan? and does it hesatate when puting into gear first time cold or hesatate when puting in reverse also dose speedo work properly and cruise ? also check main harness ground bolt on ps top of intake is clean and tight this is also your trans ground
  18. The short wheel base makes it very stable is a square so has a very good stance and have had it at very high speed on rough terain no problems it dose well on tough truck corses. Dont get me wrong i take it out every chance i get but having it get taken away for runing in the bush with no inshurance or in regulated areas is no good out here they have been after ofroaders and handing out hudge fines. anyway i whould love to bring it down but have full race season to do first. So i pulled the engine apart found #3 piston had indeed hit the head and colapsed the top ring land and damaged the piston bore is ok so new piston in head gaskets will be here today and back togther it gos took me 20 min to pull engine the rest looks good still seeing it only had 3 hours of run time on it. On the bright side the brakes are super crazy good stops fast and has way better holdback
  19. I'm the only guy around here who will even take on a wheel berring in a 90s and up subaru and even with the exact tools and hoist is very diffacult and they give me greif costs 350 $ each wheel somtimes more if i cant get it apart. Some i just have to cut out the knukel and replace it if to badly rusted
  20. Matt bought a realy cool mpi propane setup was showing me last night tees into the injector feeds and can run deul feul was very neat looking kinda like a vortec mpi but with propane. We are going to test it on untested 2.5 stroker turbo engine has 10-1 comp roller cams and turbo legacy heads with mpi propane should work good
  21. Did you check fixed stator spline the large one of front of trans look very close for craks or deformation sounds like its damaged
  22. Theese rad were very bad for pluging up the bottom half were senser for fan sitts and no coolant gos by senser and fan dosent turn on feel bottom of rad is it geting hot ? around the fan senser
  23. Takes me about 3 hours to fix and i keep the slip rings in stock and the clutch pack i see few failed soiliniods mostly burnt clutches and damaged tail shaft outputs rings that have worn into case
  24. Its cause the pumps cant handle the high gas prices they were never ment to go that fast
