Install a catch can to collect the oily vapours before the fumes get to to air box. My EA81 did that at 370,000 km, I hooked up a breather filter to RHS rocker cover $15 SCA, and fed a $60 SCA catch can on LHS rocker to air box hose and got another happy 93,000km so far Do you think you could take ...

Yeh rotor button and that all looks pretty good. I have a feeling I'll have to grab a replacement.

Cheers.

Hey guys, I've noticed over the past few weeks since the temperature has gotten considerably colder overnight that when I start my '93 L series (manual carby) it really struggles to idle and i could hear a whirring sound. So, i delved into the abyss of mechanical parts and found that it's the distri...

Hey guys, So, on the EA82 in my L wagon, there appears to be a hole slightly smaller than my pinky finger on the front of the timing belt casing to the right of the oil pump. I assume it's been there a while because it looks like there was a patch up job on another area of the cover, but im not sure...

Cheers for all the suggestions guys, have been mighty helpful :) . ill let ya know what comes...

bearings are new also...where would be the best place to take it to have the tailshaft looked at?

yeh that was me, got them sent bak and some new ones bought in and they r great, took it for a run and they just needed a bit of balancing. threw my old wheels bak on just to be sure there were no other factors, there was the smallest shudder at around 120km/h +. threw the new ones back on and could...

i just read this thread http://www.ausubaru.com.au/showthread.php?t=12384 the new wheels i got were desert rats with the different offset, could that put more pressure on the uni joints? i had a look at em a while ago, they were in ok condition i think but im thinking their true wear might be showin...
