  1. i dont know much about the damage but can tell you your mechanic is a twit for saying the engine is only good for 80k he is probably A: Only likes american cars B:dont know what he is talking about or C: will offer you a stupid low ball price for the car cause he knows he can get some money out of it.

  15. ya'll recommend high octane fuel?
  16. no problem im in the states and i just noticed the under the hood sticker that says 8* but my haynes manual say al carburated engines 8* and the fuel injected models are 20* @ Nick: Yes, you're Right, Honduran fuel is a very Low Octane Fuel; but let me tell you that my Subaru came Running from USA almost New, in 1985, so it is a USDM (California) Version, and it has an "Under-the-Hood" Sticker that says set the Timing at 8º ... +/- 2º ... Also I saw the same Sticker on Local (LADM = Latin American Domestic Market) Specs EA82 Subarus from the same Era... ...So I was Curious to see what says in the "Under-the-Hood" Sticker in your 1991 Carburated EA82 Subaru; Have you seen it? Does it Says 8º or 20º? I Believe that the Timing set varies on the Market, depending more on the Emissions Control Stuff installed on the Engine, rather than the Gasoline it will use. @ Lacyjs9: You're Welcome! Sorry for Hijack your Thread... ... Kind Regards.
