1979 Subaru crankshaft problem


Recommended Posts

So i pulled out the transmission and engine from my 79 and pulled them apart. When i removed the flywheel and crankcase i found this. The camshaft seems to have been falling apart and all the parts have fallen in the oil pan along with the rear main seal. So my question is were do i go from here. I have been looking for a camshaft gear but no luck. It seems like the only damaged parts here is the camshaft gear the rest looks good. But could there be more internal damage because of this? Engine would start right up before i took it apart.

Wow, I haven't seen anything quit that bad before. I'm suprised you weren't having more noticeable problems. There is a 1980 parts Brat in Fort Collins for $400. Parts cars are going to be your best bet with random ea71 parts. Which Subi do you have?
