I haven't given up yet. I don't want to be a new 'pest' on a Subaru forum. For a bit more money I'd rather a 6 like yours. Then there's freight. I don't want to hijack the thread.

QUOTE(76-914 @ Aug 28 2016, 10:33 AM)  As soon as I shake the Cobwebs out of my head this AM. I drank a little at Ron's Friends & Family send off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Wait...you guys DRANK at Ron's memorial (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ???? Noooooo..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Yeah you need to run those hoses man! You won't believe the difference. Hey Kevin needs some help. Have you ever seen how they treat newbies on the some of the Subie forums???? Ugh. We can't have that. I might search Outback swaps and see what has been done. Anything but the 2.5 DOHC and you're into the wiring, so might as well do something better and fun. So choices seem to be: - another 2.5 DOHC (up to 1999 I think) either JDM or other - EZ30D - Sell the car and find another one. I'll check around. |

Whew! That was a blast. Not! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) But it's behind me now and I learned a few things along the way. I filled it with oil tonite and NO leaks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) The threaded rod was the ticket. Heres a few shots of the front cover being installed.

Well, after my last post I found that I had NOT fixed all the oil leaks. When I reassembled the heads, cams and chain covers the first time I had a small leak on the right cam tower that I didn't see because of the massive leaks between the front and rear chain covers. I didn't have any leaks on the chain cover after the 2nd time I reassembled it but after a few days the small leak appeared on the oil filter housing. I Shit in my Shoes and said (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) it, I'll get it later. A few months passed and I finally got off my ass and pulled the chain covers off again. This exposed the cam tower which I removed cleaned and resealed with the three bond sealant. It's a pain in the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) to remove and clean the sealer but several hours later it was back together. I put the oil back in it yesterday and no (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) leaks. Geez, 3 times to get it right but it's done. I wanted to wait until I was sure before I posted "NO Leaks" again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Great Kent!
Btw chris, I opted for choice #3. A guy knocked on my door. I told him what was wrong. He had a 'guy' that could fix it cheaply. Sold! 4 days later he came knocking again looking for a do over. "It's yours now. the sale was reported to department of licensing after you drove out of the driveway.". |
