Turbone

If you plan on beefing up the block it would make sense to get the better rings for it too. I would start looking at some internet sites (theres a few for Soobs, cant recall tho) and see what the prices are for some good rings. Stretch, this is common for most Subaru engines. You wont see significant wear until they get over 200K. Unless they were used and abused, like lack of oil changes, etc.

The term actually comes from the Bobcat. You know, bob tail (or the lack of)? The term is even used in trucking, which means to run without a trailer behind you.

Any time you use rope, it can stretch. This will make the load unbalanced, not good. You can get a short length of chain, about 16in, form a Hardware Store. Get a couple of bolts and nuts that will fit thru the chain links. On the rear of the engine where the pitch stopper bolts on there is a loop on the mount, attach one end of the chain there. You can use the powersteering bracket on the front of the engine for the other end. You will have to pursuade the the engine off the bellhousing, they are usually stuck together pretty good. I like using a block of wood and a hammer. If the car is a AT, you will need to remove the flexplate bolts thru the starter hole, this can be a little tricky so be patient.

Well, its not super extreme, it still has ISP. But it does have 8in of body lift with the engine sitting on a subframe, divorced Nissan t-case and some real fat 30" Swampers. As of this time it hasnt had a real test yet, HP style. I hope to before winter hits Oh yeah, it doesnt need to be bobbed

Sounds like the PVC system is totally clogged. Change the valve and take the hoses off and check them, they could be clogged up with residue.

Looks like its from high mileage. Might want to re-hone the cylinders before re-using.

No and yes. It wont just bolt on and yes, it will take extensive modding to get it to fit. If it will at all.

You can try it, just torque the nut down real good.

And in a few years you can re-write that, just up grade the CPU

The cone washer, then the outer washer (with the hump facing out). If you have a breaker bar, use it. I would even put a piece of pipe on it and jump and down to tighten it (unless you weigh over 150lbs). Altho I have stripped out a nut doing this, I believe it was from a aftermarket axle. The aftermarket reman axles are notorious for being bad out of the box, keep an eye on them.

Now theres a brave soul Personally, I prefer the rotor in front, not on top This is also the first I've heard of the EA being used in this configuration. Details? But welcome to the Board, Ben

It appears that way So the laptop has a new home?

Hey Chaz, I see in your last pics that theres a old Dodge Power Wagon in the background. More info? I'm a big fan of the 40's/50's Power Wagons.

Ditto what Gary said At the time of production, the XT was designed to have the same drag co-effecient of the Corvette. Click on the link in Gary's sig to got to the "Official" XT site.

Well, it sounds like you have a pinhole leak in one of the heater hoses. The best way to find it get it hot then take a flashlight and see if you can figure out which one it is.

Oh yeah, I'm not afraid to get my other rigs dirty either This was after WCSS6.

Not as dirty as it could be, but it was a start. This is the day after I got it home, and promptly got it stuck. Stupid open diff You guys that complain about the mud need to set your rigs up so it doesnt get every where. Plug all the holes that go into the interior, use bigger skid plates, dont hit the puddle @ 40mph, etc. If your a clean freak, go back to the street

Give me a call, I might be able to help (a little bit)

The XT6 will not work for yours unless you are doing the 5 lug swap, complete. Any EA82 2wd rear disc brakes will work, but none came with a rear e-brake.

You didnt mention how much newer the replacement engine is? From what year car?

Sorry, I should have said the latch was on the rear of glass like Sweet stated. I had a 84 GL with a OEM sunroof, I think it was a option but stock on the GL-10's. So yes, the sunroof you have sounds like its aftermarket.

Well, the next time we are all together we'll just have to make sure we box him in and give him the "treament" Thats if theres enough mud around.

Baccaruda is selling a set over in the Marketplace..........

I suggest doing a search of the board here, that should give you lots of opinions about Accel (they suck)

What do you mean by a high pressure leak? Where is the leak coming from and what is leaking, water or air? Is there evidence of water in the oil (milkshake) or oil in the water? Is it overheating? We need more details.
