You Tube on the Rebuild process would be great! -
cv axle too stiff

I thought the same thing when I got mine, but they have been great. -
The engine came from a 2003 Forester and I dropped it into a 2002 Impreza TS. I switched the cams when I did the timing belt. It runs great but seems to be very rich. The O2 Sensor was changed but the voltage is still what I'd consider high at 1.6 volts. It will drop and do the normal up down when I let off the gas. When it's steady throttle it almost flat lines at 1.6 volts. Short Term Trim: -8.6 Long Term Trim: -25.0 Coolant Temp 189. I did have a PO172 Rich Bank one 2 times but it has cleared and has not come back. I ran some injector cleaner, thinking an injector might be leaking. I have not checked the mileage yet, but it seems to be going through gas pretty fast.

Clock issues?

Fixed an O2 Impreza TS Clock today. Thanks for the great info and pictures. -
I always put it to the front and have never had a problem. Make sure you jack the car as high as possible in the front and fill slowly into the top radiator hose back into the block. Then finish filling the radiator and start the engine. As it warms up, keep on squeezing the top hose to burp the air out of the radiator filler neck. When air stops coming out, you are good. PS Heater on full hot.

could be time for a new engine. If there are no leaks, It's using oil. Keep it filled and you will be fine. Normal leaks that can be corrected: - Cam or Crank shaft front seal - Oil Pump Seal and rear plate - Breather plate on the back of the block - Valve cover Gaskets - Oil fill tube - Cam Cover on the Rear Right. Used engines are a good bet if you find one that was hit hard but otherwise looks in good condition.
