    I would heat up the cup around the stub and then spray it with pb. The heat will thin it out and let it penetrate better
  2. mikaleda
    I agree
  3. mikaleda
    That's exactly what I was wondering and is the quality going to be the same. I guess the only way to know is to try them I guess

    I found this about USA industries buying empi http://www.aftermarketnews.com/Item/109452/usa_industries_buys_empi_cv_new_axle_drive_line_business.aspx I don't know the credibility of the source but it sounds like they are going to continue selling empi but under a different brand name

    I believe that I read somewhere that MWE is now FW. Im Not %100 positive though.

    Cool setup I always thought the wiring subaru used for their headlights was too light duty

    I thought that is what I just said. I was wrong to refer to it as retorque there is only one tourqe necessary Sorry for the confusion

    As stated before I AM NOT a professional, but I have done research on this and know that some people think because the felpros say perma torque that they think that they don't have to follow the part about losening and tightening the head bolts. Wich has nothing to do with the gasket but has to do with the bolts themselves. This all stuff I have found by doing searches on this site. Just my $0.02 Sorry for the confusion And yes you are right I don't know

    I should clarify what I ment by retorque I mean the part about loosening and tightening the head bolts I wasn't sure what to call that but I have done a lot of research on subie head gaskets and you have to follow the instructions to t or you are going to have problems I'm a converting Chevy mechanic hard to find the right terms
  13. mikaleda
    You always retorque head gaskets unless specifcly stated not to this is probably part of your problem, also did you follow the head gasket install instructions
  14. mikaleda
    I have done some research on felpro gaskets and I think they could work but I don't think that you can get away without doing the retorque even though they say "permatorque". I am no expert this is just my opinion
  15. mikaleda
    i answered my own questions just by doing a search. felpro head gaskets some say nay some say ya and mine just happen to have the fuji symbol on them (that may or may not have meaning) i am going to install them and see what happens (i don't have much choice at the moment) i am going to do the retorque on them because it doesn't really have anything to do with the gasket has more to do with the head bolts themselves (that is my understanding at least). sorry if i annoyed anyone by asking questions that have been answered numerous times already

    i like ultra grey, but i have not had a chance to use anerobic. that stuff costs alot it is probably worth it but when your at the parts store and using nickles and dimes to get what you need cost is a problem.

    it would help to know what engine you have.

    I've pulled a 2.2 with a 2 ton cable comealong hooked to a stout beam these engines don't weigh all that much
  19. mikaleda

    I don't have many pics of my self this is a pic of me and my dad I'm on the right if it isn't obvious lol. I'll get some better pics soon
  21. mikaleda
    Just a guess
  22. mikaleda
    I bet you oil cap got into the hole for your timing marks.
  23. mikaleda
    Wow I totally forgot about this thread. It would be nice to know what the problem ended up being
  24. mikaleda
    Nice that is a cool way to soak the axle that will help me with my gl. Thanks for showing us that
  25. mikaleda
    I thought about that but the connector was clean when I pulled it apart. I have been thinking, I remember spraying pb blaster inside the door latch I think that may have been part of my problem. I know from experience that pb blaster is non conductive and if it gets into the contacts of a switch it can mess it up until it is cleaned out
