If its anything like my Snap-On 3/8 ratchet its all about the CFM of the compressor. If you don't have a big guy like an 80 gal compressor feeding that tool it might not be up to the task. Some small compressors actually have the CFM of a big one too if you shop carefully. That being said my Snap-on one will take these off about 80 percent of the time. The rest of the time I use the tool to hold the cam to the other cam and I do like the 25MM wrench option but I don't like taking the valve covers off if I don't have to.

Napa, Carquest and Autozone all have sold me just the pump.

What are you installing the 2.2 in then?

The HF mask I have with the auto darkening has been just fine. I wouldn't go cheap on the wire though. Remember using gas means you don't spend as much in wire and get a lot better weld eventually at a lower cost spread over time. The wire at Home Depot has been OK in my welder but the wire I have been buying from a welding supply has been significantly better and cost the same.

Looks like you need to add this car to the shop talk contest. This much fabbing, customizing and welding in what looks like a dirt driveway is certainly impressive.

The threads are so sunk down into the crankshaft I don't think it will work to insert it. Theres not enough material around the edge to get one in there.

Those are some great shots. I love the solid axle look under the brat body.

So what happened in court?

That looks threaded into the carb am I wrong?

It would certainly be easy to forget to plug in a cam or crank angle sensor. Also pretty easy to forget to plug in the coil pack.

Except 4 cam engines don't fit in the frame rails of an ea81 body which is part of what was being discussed in the thread. For anybody with a Legacy or Impreza body nevermind that, it will fit.

No but thats kindof expensive. You might check at the parts counter for a factory magnet drainplug for the engine they were using them for the 2008 Turbo Recall/stop sale and they work good.

Don't worry about it. It will be fine any direction.

Photo? I can see what the junkyard has.

Convert from solid front rotors to vented. Convert disc to drums. I wouldn't bother with power steering if you do don't forget the thermostat housing, all the brackets and that your RH cyl head has to have holes or metal there to put them in. I would look for weber carb on all the import cars. Slanted radio console if you don't have that already Power mirrors are kinda nice.

I agree with all above saying it can wait but I would add a routine to your life that you might not currently have. Check the oil between oil changes. Everybody says they do it but really how many people really do?

Let me know if you need anything at the yards for it. Hitting most of them once a week these days. Congrats on the new winter ride! You seem to choose well for your drive. Do you still have the 5spd D/R Impreza?

As stated, a 2.5 SOHC doesn't. Don't try doing the job in car like some will tell you is possible. What is possible, and what is doing a good job are 2 different things here. Its very hard to get the block surfaces and the intake manifold gasket surfaces cleaned doing it in car.

Thats basically 3 hours of diagnostic time. That really isn't that out of line. Honestly if you can drive a 5 speed it might actually be cheaper in the long run to swap it over.

A Hydraulic system can also have a weak slave or master and cause it to slip as well.

It will work, you have to make the adjustments in the initial post of this thread.

After years of working for others I am happy to report I have opened my dream Subaru shop. I don't have my online store setup but if you need something for your Subaru feel free to let me know. Service, a few Subaru vehicles available occasionally and New and used parts. We have a ton of used parts and can get them if we don't have them. We are a USA vendor for Crossbred Performance, and FW Axles. I have been doing some cylinder head rebuilding and can provide the complete line ea81 thru EJ25 SOHC ones so far with few exceptions. Timing belt kits, engine shortblocks, and more just ask. Custom perfomance engines, frankenmotors, wiring harnesses. Make a request before we narrow down our products list. We also have the USMB decals and shirts available here as well if you are a local and want to avoid shipping come by.
