  1. change front 02 senser and try it have had very good luck with telling customers to run preimium gas to fix 420 code helps to clean the catts but takes at least 3 tanks and drive hard. If catts are melted down they will rattle inside and exhaust will sound funny. Also have had good luck removing catts and preshure washing them out and reinstall cost a 1$ at the local car wash with new gaskets and no leaks
  2. +1 subaru intake gaskets have to use them or problems
  3. The heads came back realy nice on my planer had to take off 1 thow on ps and a thow and a half on ds side good aluminum had a buety surface when i was done. Is a complacated engine but comes out very nice took me a hour to pull out of car carfull of the fragile vacume lines and egr piping. And i took nothing off the engine untill it was out exept for ac and alt and ps
  4. have had very good luck tapping were the spigots are broken of and using a air fitting threaded into the broken spigot must be taped and very gental but have fixed at least 6 now
  5. try front 02 senser mabee is runing lean bet thiss on the 2.51s alot when 02 gets shorted to lean side were the plugs very clean ?
  6. check alt and alt and alt chageing voltage ? berring failure ? have had 10 bad remand alts fail in thiss last year mostly bosch they rebiuld them and dont chage the berrings so berrings fail soon after rebiuld anyway should have 14.50 max no higher and no lower than 14volts have seen alot charging at 13.00 is to low means one bad diode and overloads the other diodes and burns wireing inside alt
  7. The usa one i just worked on was different than the canada one my brother has the usa one had a egr setup on ps side the canada egr did not have egr the rest looked exactly the same. I had to buy headgaskets from subaru at 120$ each was not a bad engine to pull down think it took me 8 hours total to do headgaskets and full reseal had a plastic seporator plate update that to same as outback plate
  8. So for all you guys who have ever broken a pinch bolt try taking a 3/8 drill bitt and drill from the back side of bolt about a 1/4 inch thiss will takeout about half the threads on the bolt making it about 60 % less likly to break if it still whont go drill abitt farther and watch the back side of bolt while turning it. If your turning the front side and dont see the back side move STOP and drill heat or beat but donot keep turning unless you see movment on the backside i used to break 2 a week now havent broke one in two years but have spent over a hour on that one bolt to get it out in one peice
  9. it go's by body stye the 79 could be ether a old gen or 1rst year of new gen if is the same body should work. And subaru3 not shure what its worth have not pulled the car apart yet still runs has only 22000kms on it but rusted out tank is ok if i can get it out
  10. i would use the 2.2 bottom end with the 2.5 heads on it have done a few now works good have to use the 2.2t headgaskets and slot two coolant holes but thiss setup works good and can use the stock managment the timing belt tentioner had to be trimed slightly to fitt the lower starter bolt had to be hili coiled and a stud installed to accomadate the 4 bolt bell last one was a 03 impreza with a 92 legacy 2.2 bottom end
  11. check alt check ac ildler pully and front crank pully look for missfire codes also check the boost pipes for damage and wastgate vacume feed lines. If is overboosting will shut down ecu till it sees the right boost a over or under charging alt could do thiss
  12. sweet the 73 super bettle gets a 2.5 twinn cam turbo with a 4eat with high stall waiting to see a reverse crown and pinion kitt
  13. well i perfer to dribble some gas down the pcv into the intake. But is all erelavent to the problem if its right it will run so find the real problem is there enuff feul preshure do the injectors fire did the ecu and realy power up.
  14. i put compressed air into the cly at tdc with the crank locked and watch to see if bubbles in the rad if so headgasket taste the stuff coming out the vent if sweet headgasket
  15. in the iner fender well infront of the tire under the plastic wheel well is a inline fillter remotly mouted mabee is some traped in there. Had to have been a rad problem no other place that the coolant meets the atf. But if its oil in the coolant thiss have had many problems with the 3.0 as it has a layerd pan that has biult in oil coolers and many coolant pasage ways thru oil. Have two of theese 3.0s with milky oil is a problem in the lower pan area
  16. Starter fliud can damage rings it gets behind the rings and explodes cracking rings should not be used on gas engine
  17. i blame the rubber wheel well trim it holds salt and dirt agaist the body meatal and is hard to clean but the cars that are washed regularly dont rust as bad but if its from out east all bets are off thoose cars are realy bad
  18. do you hear the feul pump ? should cycle with the key for about 10 seconds fans are probly on because its on defrost or ac is on also check all engine harness conectors see if any are loose or not pluged in all the way you could putt a long screwdriver up to your ear and to the injector and listen for the clicking or niod light. no start = no feul; no spark or no timing everything else it will run
