cv, head gasket and timing belt question

[esh]

1) are the CVs on the ea81 and ea82 the same?

2) what do I need for a head gasket change (parts and tools)?

3) and for timing belt change?

I hate to see a post go unanswered:

 

since I am a new too alot of this:

not exactly sure on any of those.. doh, tools are basic... thats why I love these cars..

 

It might help to down load the book, "How too keep your Subaru alive." it is buried in the posts here somewhere and can help answer those questions (4xx pages long, but full of good info.) on the older style Subaru.

 

Also do a "search" as these same questions get repeated alot, so pull a post up and also check the references at the bottom listed as "similar threads" of the one your reading, as they lead to other same type topics.

1: Maybe? The axles themselves are longer, but I think the FWD EA81 shafts are the same diameter as the EA82 4WD ones...

2: Metric sockets and wrenches, 10mm ratcheting wrench (to remove the valve covers easily), torque wrench, breaker bar.

3: Everything to do the head gaskets minus the torque wrench (though its handy). You have to take the timing belts off anyways to do head gaskets.

cheers for the reply. currently downloading the HTKYSA book.

still, anyone know about the CV? I've got an old loyale 4wd with possibly good cv to go on my 94 L series (ea82).
