Awesome!

[hijack] Me gots the same thing, weak cyl on #1. Yes, I do have ticking from that side. Hummmm sloppy lifter will cause one cyl to not operate correctly? Hafta try swapping out one of those lifters. Yes? [/hijack]

Great song, s'ko! I like it! Boy, do I miss those drives to and from school in Idaho. I may have only driven in 2-3 storms, but it was a blast! Here in AZ, the only snow I see in on the mountains and they got the roads closed cause the big SUV idiots keep sliding off the mountain! hehe.... I got part of a song started.... To the Jingle bells tune: Jingle Bells, Honda smells, Volvo lost the race! Scouts stole all the snow and now the Fords are sayin HEY! Sloshin through the snow, in a 4 by Soob today, o're the hills we go, sloshing all the way! Driftin left an' right, Freakin' SUVs all night, What fun it is to slide an' sing this Suby song tonight! OH! Ok, I'm done now.

Water pump gasket? My sister's did that. Pour coolant in, couple seconds later it's running out of the bottom of the car. Bubbles in coolant sounds like a head gasket to me.

Hummmm that don't look too hard. Wonder if that alt will fit in mine. I still got the factory A/C in there. Really need more current. With both fans, the heater, headlights, fog loght, and stereo blasting, the volt meter bounces around 12V at 3000rpm to the beat of Barry Manilow. :-\

18 volts?? YIKES! It does sound like the regulator is shot in the alternator. I would say you are on the right track. Swap out the alternator, that sould fixy it.

prolly need to unbolt the rear tranny mounts and the pitching stopper. Might be enough to squeeze it by.

Depends on how big your wire that is feedin the relay board is! Anyways...... Ya, what shadow said: I = V / R . I imagine a #10 wire could handle quite a number of relays. Welcome back too!

Looks nice!

I run Chevron only in Suby. 87 I think. I get nuttin but pinging at low RPMs with any other brands down here in SE Arizona. That's from regular to premium. Don't matter. My parents' 97 Outback seems happier on Chevron also. Well, I feel it. Dad don't. My boss gets 2-3 mpg better with chevron than with the others also. He's got a 01 honda accorn, 90somthin Cherekee, and a late 80's nissan pick up. Just for a different car comparison.

Would a corser thread pitch be less likely to fail? Just wondering cause my brother has a stripped stud on his Suby.

Weber would be my first upgrade. Then I would put a reground cam (the torque cam) in from Delta Camshaft. Dat's what I do.

Oooooooo........what a pretty brat! However, I have knot seene it. :-\

My Suby (carb block, SPFI pistons, decked heads) runs between 145-150ish. My sisters' Subys (bone stock, carbed, around 150k miles) run around 120-130 psi.

Can I have one of each? Or how bout test drive each one and pick the best one for off roading?

Yup.

Ahhhh but solid axels are GOOD! Good looking wagon! I'll take one of those!

Worst? More like the most emmaressing one. Was on my lunch hour and playing in my favorite off road place. Buzzon down the dirt roads, climbing into and out of the wash having a grand ol' time! Getting time to head back, I decided just one more romp. As I turned into the wash, I mis-calculated my appoach and ended up with the nose in a gully and the rear bumper on the ground. Armed with a come-along and a pice of wood for a shovel, I proceded to try and un-stuck mysef. Was working great...till the come-along broke. Ended up walking to the closest phone and asking my boss to pull me out. They still pick on me for that one.

Ok, I was talking to one of my co-workers and he sugested just going one size up and just tap the aluminium itself and forget the heli-coil. Would that work? For how long?

Take it to Death Valley in the middle of summer for a few days. That'll burn out any mold!

Yup, loose t-belt BUT, I have a stripped bolt(more like the heli-coil stripped out) that holds one of the tensioners in place (Drivers side). When I originally loosend the tensioner bolts they were very difficult to crack loose. When I went to retighten them after replacing the belts, one of the bolts wouln't tighten up properly. Thought that was rather strange, guess my fear was right. So, NOW what? It appears I cannot run with just one of the bolts cause I can move it by hand with the remainder bolt tightend as much as I dare.

Ok, I'll check those out. Hummmmm loose t-belt..........

Hey Guys, I gotta question. Me Suby has this rattle kind of sound. Kinda hard to explain. It appears to be comming from the drivers side. It dissapears on acceleration and shows up on decelleration and at idle. It's not lifter tick, that's on the other side where I'm trying to figure out which lifter is being stubborn. I did the ol' breaker bar to the ear trick and found that it's the noisiest in the area of the ditsy. The cams are 180 apart, and lined up with the marks on the flywheel. I checked the timing and it's bouncing around 10 deg btdc. Vac guage is solid at 16" at 800 RPM. Here's an MP3 of me Suby running. There'a lifter tick, an exhaust leak and a little breeze amongst the rest of the sound of the engine. Don't know if you can hear it or not. Any ideas? Wave4.zip
