Happy Labor Day! Edit: Fixed with a new Crankshaft Sprocket - see pics of damaged one below. What I'm working on this time: -2005 Outback, Automatic, base 2.5i model with EJ253, 180K - This is the MAF-based, non i-AVLS version. This is the newest Subaru I've worked on.... -
SOLVED Body: '98 OBW Current motor: EJ251 block, EJ25D heads (rings are letting oil be consumed, and there are sounds of the beginnings of rod-knock) Newer motor: Reman EJ253/251 block, EJ25D heads. Hey folks. I bought a reman block form subaru. EJ253/251 blo... -
I finally pulled the short block (SOA478H600R1) that I purchased a couple months ago out of the box and put onto a stand. Changed out the 7mm oil pump for a 9mm that I had (I don't think I'll need a 10mm as I'm a conservative driver, and this is just for a DD project). Looking at the pistons, they'r...

Hi all, I'll most likely be purchasing a forester (2006-2008) or OBW (2005-2009) soon from an auto-auction. 5-speed much preferred. Plan is to spend about $500-$750 for something with decent interior, okay exterior, and something under 150k miles. Right now, I'm assuming that anything...

Hello all, My 2002 Outback has developed a very strange misfire recently, and while it probably inst a Subaru specific issue (I don't think at least), I wanted to ask y'all for help since y'all haven't done me wrong yet. The misfire started last week, it wasn't too bad at first, but got pro... -
Simple question: If the EJ head bolts are in good condition, haven’t been over heated etc, how many times can they be reused before new ones should be sourced and used? Engine in question is an EJ251 at the moment. Cheers Bennie -
Hi, I am driving a 2004 Legacy with the EJ251. I've been having trouble diagnosing the P303 3rd cyl misfire. I tried changing the wires, plugs, and ignition coil. It went away for four days and then it came back. I've noticed that it would sometimes turn off during cooler days and it would s... -
Hello All, I finally am getting around to telling the story of my daily, and laying out my plans for what I want to do with it in the future once daily duty is over. I am currently the proud owner of a 2002 Subaru (obviously) Legacy Outback Wagon Rocky Mountain Special Edition (I don't know...

Hello all, Even though I have my fair share of experience as a mechanic (been working on and around cars since I was 8), sometimes you need help with the basics. I am the owner of a 2002 Legacy Outback wagon with the base EJ251, and I cannot for the life of me get an accurate reading on the dip...

Hello fellow forum members! So I'm looking for an honest opinion on this. Last year I pulled a used EJ251 out of a 2003 Outback that was in a self-service (Pick-n-Pull) auto yard. I've been wanting to experience a full engine tear down and rebuild, so I pulled this motor specifically because I wa...

So, I got this car about 6 months ago. It did great through the winter. However I have been hearing something weird from the engine compartment so I took a video. Please let me know what you think. I have a 2000 Legacy L wagon 2.5L. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2Dsq7UX66c Thanks! -
I have a few questions regarding my 2002 Impreza 2.5RS. It's having some starting issues. Sometimes it will start immediately, some times it will hesitate on starting, and other times it will just crank without actually starting. Every time it does not start, it sounds like a rifle has been shot. He... -
Hello people. Long time no see So... I bite the bullet once again and bought another soobie with a known problem. This time a '01 Legacy L with 180K miles on it and leaking *everything* (according to the inspection the previous owner had a month or so ago). The P.O. mentioned the car overheated on... -
The EJ251 engine in my 2002 Forester weighs 119 kg (262 Lbs). I had trouble finding this info online, so I thought that I would post it here. I had taken the engine out to replace the clutch, and before resting the engine on the floor, I weighed it on my bathroom scales. Not exactly 100% sci... -
Hello, I'm a new comer in USMB. Always like subaru, bought a used 04 Outback (Blue color ) with 121K and love this car! It had a slight oil and coolant leaking when I got it. After I did the coolant flush with "all maker/all models" orange coolant without any "conditioner" ( have no idea of the hea...
