Engine Parts for 84 GL-10 Automatic


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Thank you for taking the time to help out, if you can. I am writing trying to find a provider of parts for repairing the engine in a 84 GL-10 automatic 4 door sedan.

 

History: Four months ago I had a Subaru specialist put in a used engine to replace the one I had, which had started knocking slightly. The engine he gave me was bad, and I returned it under warranty. Now, 4 months later, he still has my car and is sill telling me that he can't find another replacement engine, and that he doesn't want to take the engine apart because he can't find a lead on replacement parts for a Subaru engine of that year. If you have any advice, or know of someone who might be able to help, I would greatly appreciate the help. This is an otherwise great car that I miss, and I feel trapped in this situation.

 

Thank you in advance.

Sorry to hear about your subaru:eek: i must say that its not very easy to find an good working EA82 Turbo, engine unless you got the $ to rebuild wich most people agree would NOT be worth the time or money, as these engines have alot of cooling problems from what ive heard and are just all around a bad engine, you might consider swapping to a standard Ea82 Rebuilt (w/o turbo) cause they are more reliable, you could put in a EA81 but these are carburated and not as fast, but less complicated and easier to work on than Fuel injected models. Before you do any of that, if you have the money/time i would recomend an Ej22 engine swap, they are good engines, but im not familliar with them i know they have about 135 hp, as your turbo ea82 has about 110?, but You can find lots of information about all types of engines here and what there pros and cons are, just do a search,Hope this helps, and sorry if i wrote too much.:)
