mr.radon Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 The head unit: Why did I have to stick it out 3/4"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Looks good. in order for your stereo to not stick out, you have to make or buy an aftermarket faceplate for it like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.radon Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 All right, where do I get the faceplate? I used my mill to enlarge the opening on the original faceplate so I could get it over the radio. Right now it sticks out 3/4", I put black electrical tape over the sheet metal to blend it in. Can I use someones face plate as a mold? I can make a copy out of fiberglass and give it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 You can get these at just about any place that carries stereo equipment for autos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 If I still lived up there, I would let you borrow mine. I got mine at car toys in Tacoma for 15.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.radon Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 The GOOD: First gas-up since I swapped trannys. Mostly commuting miles. Put in 12.9g drove 345miles, almost 27MPG? Sound about right? The BAD: Cecked oil again and again it dropped. Looked real close last night and there is oil coming from the oil pan drain, will replace that next oil change. However, I still have oil leaking out the front cover. I changed the ruined front oil seal when I pulled it. What else gives? Is it possible to change the cam seals and oil pump seals without pulling that engine? I only did the front and rear crank seals and the valve cover seals. I read some old post that I should have also replaced a couple of cam seals and oil pump seals? I don't have a manual yet for this model, so I've got no illustration to go off of. Also, I was on-line at parts express, what are the right part numbers and quantities I need? I'm not in a rush, but would like to have all the RIGHT parts when I decide to dive after this problem.

Partsman Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 If you're still hankering for data, try this guy's website: http://www.finleyweb.net/default.asp?id=142 He has ultralight planes with Sub engines, so his PDF's only have engine and wiring information, but they've been a godsend for me. He has ones for your Legacy as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.radon Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 The funny thing is I'm a member of the EAA. I used to be a LongEASY driver. Currently I'm building a Cozy Mk IV. Fellow builders have used Sub engines, hence my interest in the make. I won't be ready to fly for awhile, but till I do, my Subaru's will be saving me money so I can afford one. I think I'm just going to head to NAPA for the parts (oil seals&gaskets) so i can return them if I get the wrong ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left_coast*9 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Hey Mr. Radon-- I know it's been awhile, but I am so impressed by your not only your know-how , but by your diligence in updating this board for newbies like me. Changed my first set of timing belts, oil pump, water pump, cap/rotor, etc. this weekend and it was a blast. I now have somewhat of an idea how much work you did. It would have taken me months to do that job. Maybe some day. Anyways, just wanted to give you a shout-out and let you know "job well done".
