The noise is coming from inside the throttle body. When I open the throttle plate the noise gets louder. Also engine is idling at really high at startup.

Good point, but I'm pretty sure I've heard that noise on previous engine swaps and it has something to do with the fuel pump priming.

Doing a Jdm 2.0 swap into ej2.5 Impreza. When ignition is on, there's a continuous buzzing noise from coming from under the hood. The noise is supposed to stop a few seconds after the ignition is left on. Sound like the fuel pump isn't shutting off. Any ideas.

Doing a Jdm 2.0 swap into ej2.5 Impreza. Cant get the new Gates belt on. Can't even get the old belt back on. Any suggestions.

Bought 2001 Legacy with external head gasket leak. Just got anti freeze in the oil. I thought the 2001's didn't have the have the internal leak problem. Whats the best procedure for doing the head gaskets now that the antifreeze had mixed with the oil.

Installing jdm 2.0 into an 04 Impreza that has a ej25. I know to use the ds cam pulley from the ej 25. Not sure if I need to use the ej25 crank sprocket. They look the same.

Had Subaru Tech friend come over. He diagnosed the the oil leak. It was a scratch on the cam shaft that was right underneath the cam seal. The fix is to sand the scratch out starting with 800 grit and working up to a maroon 3m pad.

Have 06 Legacy. The heads are recently resurfaced. Resealed the cam plate and put in new cam seals.Started dripping from ds cam seal about one drop every five minutes. Reinstalled a new driver side cam seal and have same leak. There is oil on bottom of seal. I thought the cam plate was leaking because there is oil right below the cam seal where the cam plate and head are come together. Have a couple of pictures, but can't really see the oil on cam seal due to not being able to download a high resolution picture on this site. I'm looking for some direction to determine if its the seal or the cam plate that is leaking. The only thing I haven't done is cleaning the came shaft with fine grade Scotch Bright pad to make sure there's no build up on the surface of cam shaft that is stopping the cam shaft seal from sealing properly.

Just pulled the cam sprocket off again. Here's a picture of the back timing cover and the DS cam seal.The cam seal was just installed yesterday. Ive installed two DS cam seals and both have leaked, about one drip every three minutes.

Has new Subaru cam and crank seals.

Im leaking a drop of oil every 4 minutes. It looks like it coming from front tip of cam/separator plate on the drives side. This is a new head resurface job, and I resealed the cam/separator plate. Can anything be done to stop the oil drip.

Yes. I knew about Gates switching their t belt kits to Chinese components. Thought the Gates t belt was the same one they always used.

This time I have a Gates, I usually have a Subaru. Thanks for the tip on the Mitsuboshi Tbelt.

What is the proper procedure of installing Timing belt on ej25 with engine in car. I'm missing my left index finger due to accident decades ago. When I put the toothed pulley next to last and the lower idler pullet last, always have to fight to get the toothed pulleys bolt started. When I put the tensioner pulley on last I fight to get that bolt started. So I'm looking for a solution for a guy with a compromised left hand.

Ok thanks for clarifying that. I'm redoing the cam seals due to a slow drip of oil on drivers side cam seal. I had put oil on just the bottom quarter of the seal. Looks like going all the way around ID of seal is better.

What kind of white lube are you using. Don't see any white lube at nappa.

What kind of white lube. I have WD 40 water resistant silicone lubricant and WD 40 protective white lithium grease.

Will Permatex Ultra Slick assembly lube or motor oil work instead of Dow 111. Don't have any Dow 111 on hand.

What is the proper procedure of installing cam seals on ej25. Does the cam shaft snout and the inside of seal get lubricated before seal is installed, or is it a dry fit between snout and cam seal.

How to remove overflow tank on 07 Legacy. There are no fasteners to remove, just a plastic tab that looks like it will break if its moved.

The new map light assembly from Subaru dealer solved the srs light in dash. The srs light went off immediately with no reset with scanner needed. I had re soldered the old map light assembly twice and never got the srs light to to turn off in dash.

Hi Tom. Thanks for posting your review icarsoft scanner. I have the autel ml629. It read the srs code on my 07 Legacy. Autel tech support said the ml629 is the global scan tool. They suggested getting the al629 which is the american version and easier to update. Will get the al629 today and will be sending the ml629 back to Amazon. Amazon already refunded my account for the ml629. They said I can keep both scanners for 30 day and keep which ever one works for me. Autel wants me to send in the registration # on the al629 just to make sure it the correct American model. They said there is a Mexican al629 which would have the same potential problems as the global ml629.

Thank for the offer. My neighbor is a computer guy. That's who actually did the soldering . He also did the ohms check on the resisters and diodes. So I have a hands on second set of eyes.

I did the re solder of map light and still have srs light on in gauge cluster. The Autel 629 is reading the code but not erasing the code. Could have repaired the map light and the Autel isn't erasing it or the repair didn't work and the Autel is working correctly. Like your idea regarding doing a few drive cycles and seeing if the srs module is looking at some other database before it turns the srs light off.

My Autel MaxiLink ml629 from Amazon is reading the srs error 26 but not erasing the srs error 26. I'm sending it back and getting the Autel MaxiLink al629 from Amazon.
