From all you guys [General Disorder, Freddo and more . . . ] the experience and knowledge comes through, big time. But, yeah, seeing that pic from GLOYALE [mt-5 trans open case halves] gave me instant visualization to tear into it and get it done. And I had local help from Avo at Certified Subaru in North Hollywood who looked up proper part numbers for both main shaft bearings. I paid him for the parts and gave an extra $100 for his time and knowledge. He helped save that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyhils Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Going with Fel Pro 9392pt HGs. Since engine not yet installed. And I plan to use Permatex Ultra black for cam carriers. Fill slot [groove] and then medium bead. Push down and get bolts finger tight. Wait an hour and then torque to about 10 or 12 ft/lbs max.

rickyhils Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 And will snap a few pix of what the "unnamed mystery rebuilder" did with the cylinder walls and pistons. Plan is to start it up within 2- 3 weeks. Prognosis looks to be that this is a $100 "find". Will keep fingers crossed and say three "Hail Mary"s . Will prime oil pump with drill socket and fill water pump from heater hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyhils Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 This rebuilt EA82 [with no history of who did the work or when it was done] turned out to be ok. I found it on Craigslist. Local pickup. It was my lucky break. 160 miles on it so far. Shows to have a reliably functioning bottom end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
