EA82 Rebuild list
ivans imports replied to cumminsea82's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
turbo or non ? i would add change the middle 3 headbolts for ea81 head studs they fitt and give you a 1/2 more thread in block strech the cam caier oil relef valve springs to bring up oil preshure and probly safe to reuse pistons unless to baldly scratched. And use the subaru gasket set is far better and headgaskets have extra renforcments and comes with lots of good extra stuff piston pin clips valve retairs oil plugs ext and if from subaru at least you know its right and fits -
if you look at valve cover one says twinn cam other is blank twinn cam stamped ones are hydrolic lifters and female coilpack in 97 whent to female coil and nohydrolic lifters in 98 they whent to male coil and nonhydrolic lifters is a pain have 4 diferent wire sets in 4 years and to add to it its listed as a legacy outback parts guys never mess that up

the diss pu is touching the module pu points is very close so if worn they can contact each other have many of those diss if need one

funny it says right on the bottle will not hurt rubber but no list of what it contains. Benifit of the doubt probly when it gets mixed with the combustion gases from blown headgasket. The biger problem is that people are under the imprestion they can install a coolant conditioner and not fix the gasket and leave it to long and ruin the engine were as if they did the gaskets as soon as they saw problem the engine could be saved way cheaper and more efictively.

Well after 500 headgasket jobs and having to clean that crap out of every one i have seen some damage. The main problem is evry dealer whats to put it in and you get mutiple dealers puting it into the same cars. Have seen it were theres been 3-5 bottles of that in one car all put inby different dealers. Anyway i have piles of bad hoses and rads all pluged or softend by subarus stop leak. Or bars leak in a subaru bottle as far as subaru standing behind thiss stuff. I spend my days fixing subarus mistakes witch are many and i do not think the same way as many techs. I think of the cars as my personal car that customer uses. And i a'm so bussy because the people do not trust the subaru dealers and there methods.

works very well i took care to not disturb the factory fliud had not come out yet the diff had just poped apart. Not far enuff to loose the viscus fliud may have lost a tiny bitt. But its my belif that a bitt less fliud will make it last longer as they have a problem with overheating and expanding till it pops apart. anyway the awd works perfectly and i torture tested it no slips and awd is right there

isent addjusting the cold air door fun ! -
pluging the cores is just a small bitt of the problem THAT STUFF ATACKS RUBBER components and water pump seals makes hoses soft and makes coolant oily absolut garbage never use it ever. Stop leak of any kind adds hours of cleaning to my headjobs and i have never seen it help any subaru engine ever but i have seen many many bad hoses because of thiss stuff. It will not fix your gasket problems because the gasket base meatal is stainless and when the coatings gone its shiny polished stainless nothing will stick to that so why wreck a good coling syestem when it just needs headgaskets. The headgaskets the problem dont dodge it fix it. Also the subaru coolant condishiner is just there to get the subarus off waranty not to fix the problem just prolong it till waranty is gone NICE JOB SUBARU in not recogniseing there own problem and hiding the fact that they used crap gaskets right since the day they changed the 25ds from grafite to meatal gaskets meatal gasket = problems

The one i did yesterday had blown the rear support berring for awd and front support berring for awd when it whent large pices of the berring cage whent into the shift forks and the fifth gear and damaged the awd. Was able to repair it took about 4 hours and some pateince.1rst step drain oil and inspect the magnet for peices and berring materail i bet it has blown berring and bitts are jaming it up if so the plug magnet will be loaded
-
The hla are very small pasages on them and takes a tiny peice of anything to plug them but they are removeabble and can be cleaned and reused. But in your case i whould be planeing the rocker holdown posts to get the hlas closer to compensate for cam grind. The amont thats been ground is the amount that the rocker train should be planed to make geomitry right. or roller cams and valve train thats addjustabble carfull cams are matched to valve train so no mixmatching

was able to rebiuld a expanded awd five speed center diff was able to press it apart and reinstall the clutchs and plates and wire seperators. I thought it was a non rebiuldabble part but it seems to be fixabble. The trans had lost the awd output berring that ruind the front awd berring and that alowded the gear to grab the snap ring and tear it out then awd expanded and came apart. was a mess inside but was repairablle and go's back in today see how it works. The cool thing is that you could modify the awd to make it stiffer or more or less responsive by adding or removeing plates or viscus fliud

loose retainr bolts on oil pump gear plate wrong headgasket or crap inside the cam pluging pasages

have done my own 3.0 six was over 160 bolts to get to one piston and took some time i made cardborad templates to keep the blots in check but takes alot of time to get to gasket. Caution subaru stop leak wrecks cooling syestems is crap i whould never use it ever. And i will not waranty any engine that its been installed in
