have many many 2.2 heads if stuck

the 2.5 twinn cam interfers in two ways the valves hitt the pistons and they HIT EACH OTHER the intake valve hitts the exhaust valve when out of time. Have built many 2.2 twinn cam engines work very good but had to use the turbo 2.2 headgasket slightly modifyed. I like to use the 2.2 crank in the 2.5 block gives you a 2.35 destroker motor about 8.0-1 then turbo it cheap turbo engine with bulletproof bottom end.

i sold the last 96 outback for 3800$ with 0 kms on new engine had 350000kms onit and some rust

is it hydrolic lifter engine ? theese engines have less hg problems as they use a grafite gasket but only in 95-96 check and see if says twinn cam on valve cover if do's should be good for 250000kms or more. Was doing hg on a 96 with 450000kms other day still running strong. all depends on how it was took care of

evap soilniod stuck open ?

drilling the hub looks to me like it whould make it weaker

on the core repiar the trick is use a hot torch and a blow gun gentaly blow the soder away as you heat it up makes it not melt the rest of core

Pull whole dash 15 min drop coullum pull heater box out oh it helps that iv'e done about 60 of them and know every conector and clip and exactly what has to be undone and what dosent. The trick is to pull the whole dash in one peice dont take anything off it is only about 12 conectors two cables and a heater control conector. 45 min is the fastest iv'e been able to do the core in

if you get the omms wrong it will just run a bitt faster or slower. the heater cores i take the end tank off opposet the hoses and rod it out then reinstall the end tank. Lotts of flux and use 50/50 lead tin soilder thiss works very good most are pluged with calcium and sillacon takes me about 45 min to remove from car and about a hour to repair core.

probly gets passed in the snow by stock loyales all day long but looks cool

have 4 ea71s nice truck not to rusty i love my 80 brat !

two in a month check the engine wire harness were the 3 plugs go toghther on the ps of bell housing they like to not plugin all the way or bend pins when pluged in also the main grounds to trans. It do's have a netral position switch but only efects it stoped at idle.

my 79 wagon uses 4 bolts with 6 bolt rims for 12 years no problems and its 250 + hp

had one that a guy put coalman camp feul in hiss loyale made the injector stick randomly and fail stuck wide open [ was a pain to fix ] could the injector be sticking ? also have you verifyd the timing a pop out the intake indacates retarded timing.

as far as i know the temp senser in the trans is for default if overheated not to tell tcu what temp the trans is. If the trans overheats to the point of turning on the AT light the fans will turn on to try and cool it. I have many auto outbacks that come thrugh so will test drive them all cold and see if there is a difference in how they shift hot /cold

working on it

if the headgasket is seeping the coolant is geting in the oil

i call bull i test drive them stone cold and shifts 1234 lockup even ice cold a delayed shift is caused by to mutch clearance in the forward clutch pack drum. Have never heard of it having to be a certan temp to work it makes no sense what whould be the purpose of waiting for it to be warm to shift ? what if you pull out strait onto freeway ice cold and need to hit speed having to wait to warmup to shift whould be unaxceptabble and dangerus.I cant belive subaru whould do thiss. I think there is more to your problem

theres a inline one way check valve on the vacume curcit is it there ? could it be backwards ? do you have vacume at the heater box controler?

oh the eastern cars so rusty i flag most of them stick out like a sore thumb rotten engines and lines try doing the rear berrings on the eastern cars yikes.some are rusty to the point of being down right dangerus rusted out suspention parts ect

all the same exept 4 the two with non gasketed washers go at the back of block no water jacketed the two short ones go in front of block no gasketed washers there is one long smaler bolt gos on front the rest are perty strait forward i glue the washers on all the bolts with washers

boy i wish that subarus came with 6.0 vortecs but they dont how bout a milage motor like a nissan deisel or a volks TDI or one of thoose new jeep deisels.
