Mack Truck Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Im new to this form. I have a 86 GL and a modified EA-82, Im the process of doing an overhead rebuild after bad haed gasket. With that said Some of my cam rockers are looking warn and one has some pitting. I want to replace them as i got new lifters also. My parts store in Dayton says they cannot get the new rockers as their suppliers state they are "oblolete". REALLY? same goes for the new oil pump i want to install as i have the engine out of the car. Any ideas where to get such parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Truck Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 NAPA in Dayton, and Kilmer's (Car Quest) in Milton Freewater--they deal in a lot of older parts. when checking for the lifters the Subaru dealer wanted like almost 60.oo a peace but i got them for 16.00 each.

Where in the heck did you find lifters for 16 dollars a piece? I know the local O'Reilly wanted like 37 a piece and my dealership told me 80 for 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Truck Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 ok everyone. I did find--with help of a good young mechanic guy--a web store that carries hard to find parts for many makes of cars. http://www.quirkparts.com/ i was able to get new Rockers. 8 for 34.00 aprox and the new oil pump for 70.00. so any other hard to find parts id give them a try. i just ordered my new parts the local stores said were obsolete and unable to get.... their loss is my gain.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 $70 for an oil pump is a great price, good job. no reason to buy the rockers, but i get that you want to do a good job. when reinstalling the cam carrier - make sure you use the metal reinforced oring in the lower corner and not a regular oring. the old one can be brittle/hardened and just look like an ancient used regular oring. and actually i think someone said the older EA82's (like 85 and 86) got regular orings there where later models got the metal reinforced ones. if you're retorquing the heads (FSM calls for it) - assemble the cam carriers without sealant. seal them the second time around.

Mack Truck Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Follow-up, Quirk Parts is just a bunch of dealers, no help. They sent the wrong oil pump, and one rocker for a JA 2.5 wont use them again. I had the rockers resurfaced by Delta Camshaft in Tacoma, Wa. also had them do a stage 1 cam grind on my cams. they charged 3.00 to resurface my rockers.
