  1. Hello, My Car: 06 Legacy 2.5 SOHC So I'm going to finally get my Timing Belt on. This is what I notice and I want to make sure it is all correct. 1. Crank Gear Alignment is correct : The Two marks Line Up 2. The Passenger Side is Lined up: There is NO Tension/Resistance to get the lines to line up. 3. The Driver Side is Lined Up: There IS TENSION/Resistance to get the line on the Cam Gear to line up with the line on the back cover (notch) Is that normal for the Driver side to be under tension? Sorry if this is a dumb or silly question... just want to make sure I am going this correct
  2. Can I ask what company you are referring to? My 06 Legacy was a northern car.... my exhaust pipes are very rusty...
  3. Hey, is there any secret to installing the small rubber hose from the waterpump to the metal cooling line? It's very hard to get the rubber hose to slide on the metal line because the metal tube want to flex on the tabs that hold it to the block. Is there a Secret Lube to help it slide on? Trick? Thanks
  4. Hey, Can anybody tell me what type of marker / manufacture that will stay on and show up on a timing belt / and gears? I want to put marks on the gears, and rotation direction on the belt. Thanks
  5. I just used the 1217H on my pan works awesome. I got this from amazon it worked great on these small tubes... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HBGHCW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  6. Read this:http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/115594-p0136-oxygen-o2-sensor-circuit-low-voltage-bank-1-sensor-2/ also: https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0136-obd-ii-trouble-code-o2-sensor-circuit-malfunction-bank-1-sensor-2-by-jay-safford
  7. Hello, I was wondering if there is a correct procedure or way to ensure both the Block and Head are correctly aligned to put on the timing belt. At this time the heads are on and not tension on any of the Valve Rockers. The pistons are all in the Neutral Position (all in as far as they will go) The crank gear is aligned with Crank sensor, so I am sure it is off some degree? Thanks for any help
  8. Ball joints have no grease zerks ... so ball joint could be bad, Also, tie rod, and even the lower control arm (rubber bushings) can break down over time. Also, bad Hub can cause this, How many miles on the car?
  9. Check all your grounds to the chassis.... when they come off, break off because of corrosion the system can not complete what it needs to do. Also, these ground straps/connection that are grounded to the chassis.
  10. Hello, I am going to install this cooler on my car. My question is this. Do the plastic fasteners work well? Ever come loose? Damage to either radiator or AC Condenser Coils in front of the Radiator? I want to do the same thing that this guy did. Thoughts? Transmission Oil Cooling.pdf
  11. GD, I appreciate your opinion. But, I don't want to paint the backside, . I'm going to get it returned, because it also does not fit. I can't even begin to get it to slide on the crank even without the keyway removed.
  12. Be VERY careful of aftermarket shops.... sooooo many don't know how to properly work on Subaru engines, and they use cheap aftermarket parts... so if you read my posts, I only had 99k on my one month old purchase of a 2007 Legacy 2.5i and the timing belt tensioner bolt broke due a idiot who either used a impact wrench, or?? Either way, 4 intake valves bent
  13. The heads for my car got done today, so I have no time to spare dealing with a company that does not want to do the "Right" thing. It just frustrates me because of how unprofessional they are. They even said they would give me $50.00 off, so I know they don't want to deal with it and me, but also who ever they got it from. I think they bought it from somewhere (another company because it shipped from "Horsham, PA") , and now they are in a bind. They even told UPS that it was damaged in shipping, which is a FAT lie, and they are trying to rip them off. I hope they come to there senses and deal with this issue properly. If not, I will take legal action, because I have pictures, phone records and I witnesses that will become a nightmare for them. t will cost a LOT $$ more by then.
  14. Hello, I'm going to use Fuji ThreeBond 1215 Gray Silicone Sealer: If you have ever used this sealer, I have a question. Oil Pan: 1. How wide of a "bead" to you run around the base of the Oil Pan? 2. Do/Did you run the bead "around" the mounting bolts, or just one side (inner or outer). 3. How did it hold up to leaks? Thanks
