    Since Im still in the oil seal department does the front differential cv joint connection have directional oil seals? And if they do, what would be the part number.
  2. oczuk32
    Got them. Thanks guys.

    I went to two dealerships and they were clueless. Found some on eBay, lets see if they work by modifying them a bit.

    So I'm searching for a valve cover grommet for my 84 Subaru wagon online but keeps coming up with newer subarus vehicles. Are they interchangeable?

    I see. Does your electric fan stay in for a long period or shuts off after couple minutes. My fan stays on for a while and with 80F ambient weather.. I will do flush on Saturday and see how it goes. Thanks

    So I made a temporary coolant reservoir and top off the radiator to the cap. Drove the wagon for a bit release the pressure to get the bubbles out of the hose. Still running hot. Even the electric fan is staying on for longer periods. When I open the cap to see whats going inside. I dont see any flow or resemblance of coolant flowing thru the radiator. Scratching my head now. It wasnt getting hot when it was running rich in fuel mixture about couple weeks ago. Hopefully those are hot presure air bubbles and not cusbustion leak bubbles. Needle above normal operating temperature. Usually the needle sits on the line or below it.

    Ok. Ive replace the cap about a month ago with a 13 lbs. But not sure if its a recovery style. I will inspect it tomorrow and see if I could make install some kind of coolant recovery bottle.

    So i drove my wagon to work for the first time. On the way back coming home there is a small incline on the freeway and I noticed the temperature gauge starting to rise and leaking coolant thru the presure vent hose. I never notice any coolant leak but yet I had add coolant a couple times now. So I'm already thinking the worst, head gasket leak. So I get a block tester to see if theres any combustion fumes in the radiator which would determine and leak. Fluid should turn yellow after a couple minutes suctions. I have already change the thermostat. But still getting hot on that incline. I read in the manual that the radiator shoul not be top off but fill to a fin inside the radiator itself. Any suggestions?

    Im confused, is the gasket and trim molding different? I keep seing chrome trim molding on eBay. The molding looks like they are in sections and the gasket is one whole seal.

    I'm in for group buy if it happens. I found one on e-bay two days ago but got beaten on the purchase. I also found a website in Australia that has them available but they don't do international shipping. https://www.autoglasswarehouse.com.au/subaru-leone-1979-to-1984-brumby-1982-to-1995-su71 Need to get a aussie friend so they could ship to the US.

    Yes the fuel.. This wagon loves its 91 octane gas and ain't cheap here in California. Its $4.89 a gallon of gas.

    Finally Passed Smog.... Smog technician was surprise on how clean the wagon is running. Now I could move one to other simpler things the wagon needs. Thanks for the help and knowledge on this post.

    So heres the final readings Im getting after adjusting the air fuel mixture. Thats the best i could get at 800 rpm idle. Taking it in Saturday for another and hopefully final smog test.
  14. oczuk32
    Jsut saw this post... By any chance that there's still some available for 84 wagon. Or anyone knows a source.
  15. oczuk32
    I getting that issue on my 84 wagon turbo when the interior of the car gets hot. It works in cool interior weather. How much should you rely on the gauge to get good boost readings?
  16. oczuk32
    Yes 14.7 is the ideal mixture. But going thru some turbo forums they mention that engines with turbos should run a little richer than naturally aspirated engines. 12.8 to 13.7. Correct me if i wrong. My experience with turbos is very limited. Yes when i back off the accelerator it does go to 27.0 + on AFR Oh FYI, I have the AFR plug in into a whole different oxygen sensor after the cat on the exhaust.
  17. oczuk32
    Update. So I drove it the car for a bit and it seems that the rich smell has gone away and AFR monitor is taking the readings from the ecu adjustments. So far its stable at 12.1 on AFR.
  18. oczuk32
    Ok something is not right. So I finally was able to replace the O2 sensor and now my fuel mixture is way higher and Im getting the ecu led flashing. But not in a way to get a code. But when i disconnect the new O2 sensor the light goes off. Any thoughts or suggestions. Or should that be normal blinking operation.
  19. oczuk32
    Theres no fuel leak and holds vacuum with the gun. Also change the vac hose that goes to FPR. I will try to change the O2 sensor this weekend by trying to remove the heat shields.
  20. oczuk32
    Heres the oxygen sensor where i can't fit the socket due to the heatshield surrounding the sensor.

    By just testing the the fuel pressure itself would tell me that the regulator is working properly right?

    I have also replace the vacuum lines, even tho the original braided ones were pretty cool. Inlet pipe still looks flexible and dont see any cracks. I tested every injector when I removed them to change out the fuel line. No leaks on the fuel pressure regulator. It holds vacuum. I have not tested the fuel pressure yet. Im running an after market fuel pump since a original one cant be found anymore. Its rated for the recommended lbs that that system requires.
  25. oczuk32
    Oil level has been on the spot. Just getting the oil pump small leak that I read about here in the forums. I dont see any smoke coming out from the tailpipe. No black soot on the tailpipe at all. Just the rich fuel smell that comes and goes.
