Oh no, a sad end to WW1

I'm leaning towards a stuck t-stat, do you ever get heat from the heater?

This is a quote from WJM from another forum, I don't know if he's still active over here but this is what he had to say, FWIW he works at a Subaru dealer. Cliff notes, the STI headgasket will work with the nonturbo EJ25 and is only 5-10 bucks more and is 100% better FINALLY FHI/SOA has heard my word. The 2.5L N/A engine (EJ253) uses the 07 (also same as 06~08 EJ255) STi head gasket. Part number 11044AA670 That's right, THREE (3) LAYER METAL. That means it will NEVER LEAK like the POS single stainless steel w/rubber coating head gasket used on the 99+ EJ25# series. However, the 08+ and 09+ Impreza and Forester still use that POS gasket in their EJ253 engines. I wonder when the Impreza and Forester will switch to the 670 gasket... Background info: The 11044AA642 was used on the 2004~2006 EJ257 and the 2004~2005 EJ255 engines. In 2006 the EJ255 went to the "improved cooling" heads w/out sodium filled exhaust valves. Slight changes in the coolant passages meant a new headgasket and the 11044AA670 was born. In 2007 the STi went to these "improved cooling" heads and it too used the 11044AA670. The EJ255 in all 2007~2008 MY turbo vehicles uses the same. For some reason in 2008, the EJ257 received a different part number gasket, the 11044AA770. In 2009 all EJ255's received this as well. The 670 and 770 appear to be identical. *shrug* Other metal gaskets: 11044AA483: EJ205 11044AA610: EJ25D engines (can use on any EJ257/EJ255; the gasket is a little over 2x's the thickness of the 642/670/770 gaskets) And to revisit, the 11044AA633 is the POS gasket. Previous part numbers for this gasket is: 11044AA520/521, 11044AA630/631/632. AKA do not buy any of those.

Run the wires into the cabin and put it under the steering column with the stock unit, much safer, drier and out of the way.

There is a rubber dust boot on the end of the throttle cable that keeps dust from getting in and the lube from getting out. On my DL it fell apart and worked its way in between the cam and the throttle cable holding the throttle at about 25%, which unloaded means it got to red line pretty quick.

+1 Without the clear coat you'll just be flitzing again in a couple of months.

Make sure the ignition wires are all still connected. I've seen timing belts appear ok, but have sheared teeth under one or both of the pulleys. Try to narrow it down whether its a spark or fuel issue.

Actually, you use the drive train to turn over the engine, the alternator has nothing to do with it. ever try to pop-start a dirt bike on a gravel hill?

Fresh, where are you located? I have one lying around I'd be willing to give away. Its 22 years old, but it worked when i parted out the car.

I've used them in motorcycle tires with no ill effects, and i assure you those tires spin much faster then a swamper, based of both circumference and top speed.

For reliability the Suzuki 650 twin can't be beat, mine got me to and from Mexico from Seattle without any troubles, and I'll be heading south again in November and should hit 60k on the way back.

I like my SV650, and it was my favorite until i rode a V-Strom 650, put 57k miles on that one in less time then it took the SV to get to 14k It does have fairings, but that makes it nicer in bad weather. Stay away from Harleys, you'd be buying an image instead of a bike. The Honda Shadow 750 is a great bike and will run circles around a harley any day of the week, and will stay running forever.

It will if you're not wearing your seatbelt.

check the plugs yet?

what pump are you using?

a fuzzy bracket? what do i win?

catchy, i like it

check resistance in your wires, should be around 800 ohms per foot i believe. if you have a second set of wires try those.

ask them to clean it off, if they are a reasonable dealer, they should clean it off. if they were a good dealer they would have cleaned it before you had gotten it back.

recheck your connections. I believe that your yellow and black wires are backwards, but wait until some one else agrees. if the disty is used it could just be a bad one. Make sure there is a rotor inside the disty.

I grew up in Kzoo small world.

glad i searched, was just about to post this as a new topic, been catching up on http://www.hulu.com

The stock intake will flow up to around 300 hp without modifications, unless your car is a turbo i wouldn't mess with the intake, and even if it were there are much more effective ways of increasing power. Remember, if you increase flow via an air filter (K&N), its letting not just more air in but dust, dirt and sand as well.

There may be a problem with their servers, should be fixed soon. The motorbike forum i'm on is on the same server and thats down too.
