4x4_Welder Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Valve stem seals are about the easiest part of the job. If you don't have a valve spring compressor, rent one. Get the big c-clamp style one since you'll have the heads off. Compress the spring, pull out the retainers, SLOWLY release the spring, pull off the old seal, slide on the new one, and put the spring and retainers back on. The procedure is given in a bit more detail in your manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWet Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 OK I will try and rent one of those, I was also wondering if it's necessary to get new head bolts too? EA82 headbolts are NOT the "torque to yield" variety. They are reusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat fink Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 What about the EA71 head studs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 What about the EA71 head studs? All Subaru bolts/studs are reusable. Even the torque to yeild variety are rarely replaced in practice. In fact most of the techs just torque them to a ft/lbs value rather than following the manual procedure for the EJ's. For anything prior to the EJ's the studs/bolts are not called out for replacement unless they are damaged. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
