stock93loyale Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hello, I have a 1993 Loyale with a broken timing belt and many other issues. I'm looking at redoing all the gaskets/oil seals. What seals/gaskets and other things should I replace or at least check the condition of on the ea82? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock93loyale Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 And also where can I find the best gaskets for this car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Do yourself a favor and look into a newer Legacy, etc. Parts for that engine are becoming a problem - such as you can no longer buy oil pumps for them, etc. Not that it can't be fixed but you'll spend a lot of time and money tracking down obsolete parts. Might as well go get a cheap Legacy and be able to get parts for it. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Fel Pro head set and conversion kit. Except dealer oem intake manifold gaskets and cam tower o rings. Timing belts and all 3 idlers. Avoid cheapie kits. I rebuild the idlers, so I have no info on a good kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan K Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Head gasket set Part Number HS9392PT2 for fel-pro. Can be purchased online. You will also need front and rear crank seals, oil pump gasket set and oil pan gasket. I would recommend shopping on RockAuto.com. In the vendor section of this forum there is a code posted for a 5% discount on any purchases made there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan K Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) TB299300K1 Is the part number for the Continental belt, tensioners and idler kit. It can be alot cheaper to buy the parts and pieces individually then as a kit however... Edited March 9, 2017 by Logan K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee2 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 As an alternative to FelPro you might want to look at Altrom seals and gaskets from NAPA. They are OEM quality, not sure if they come in a kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the oil pump for example Edited March 10, 2017 by stock93loyale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've never had to replace or rebuild an oil pump, just replace the seals. With proper maintainance, it should be ok. Yes, parts are going to be harder to find. I am expecting that. I have a lot of spare parts to keep my ea82s going for a long time. How practical it is to run 30 year old cars depends on your situation. Do you have space to store spare engines, driveline parts, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 There isn't a practical way to rebuild them, no. They are aluminum and once scored up inside it would take a lot of engineering to get one back in spec. One of the design choices I dislike about Subaru engines in general is there use of aluminum georotor pumps. Gear pumps are more robust IMO. The Mitsubishi 4G63 oil pumps for example are excellent and rarely fail. You don't hear about chevy small block or LS oil pump failures either. Those are even better still being submerged and not requiring any priming. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 the timing belt kits are everywhere on ebay. i would only do the gaskets that need replaced - don't replace headgaskets if they're not leaking. they usually like like gutters from the valve covers - just reseal the valve cover gaskets, which is 50x easier than a head gasket job.

CaptainDub Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Sounds like you need to pick up my EA82 out of my Loyale after I do my EJ swap in the next month or so. I'm in Kansas city so a short 3 hr drive from nebraska. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagons Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Buy a felpro permatorque head gasket set. No retorque needed. Oil pump seals, factory subaru cam tower o ring and intake manifold gaskets. These engins are cake work. I never have messed with one and got the whole engine out in less than 2 hrs and it was my first time. Personally, im going to be hitting my local pick yard and make a habit of storing spare much needed parts as been recomended by so many others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainDub Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) What condition is it in? Just did compression check today. Cylinder 1 - 160 Cylinder 2 - 145 Cylinder 3 - 150 Cylinder 4 - 135 The previous owner resealed it, to what extent I'm not sure but it hasn't put a drop of oil on my driveway in the 5 months it's been there. It's out of an 86 GL. It's got the Hitachi carb which was just rebuilt. As far as mileage I'm told it's around 180k. I've only put a few hundred on since I've had it.

I'm a noob to engines, would a carbed engine plug right into a 93 loyale or would I need a different engine harness? Mine originally has the spfi motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagons Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 If its a single port yes it will bolt right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 You don't just swap the carb engine in place of spfi. You can swap the intake manifolds and everything above from the spfi onto the heads and block from the carbed one. May hAve to deal with egr differences.
