got it! but now the rest....

Was riding to the tip and found myself passing by mitre ten. Spied a scrap pile the handy folks at mitre 10 decided to throw away a few bits of steel. A quick rummage found a handy 2.5m piece of square tubing. Put a large screwdriver through the bell housing access hole and jammed it against a crowb...

Removing Crankshaft Pully

I'm having a right bitch of a time trying to remove the crankshaft pulley of my ej22. It's currently out of the car and being stripped down to rebuild. My main two questions are: What are the methods you've used in the past to immobilse the CSP (or any for that matter); Where is the cheapest place t...

EJ25 as replacement for an EJ22?

Hi everybody, You might have read in my other thread that my ej22 is kaput. I'm considering a few options, one of which is putting an ej25 in as a replacment to the ej22. My main consideration is obviously that of compatability - will the ej22s accessories fit onto the 25, i.e. p/s pump, alternator,...

A very unhappy ej22!

G'day folks, My beloved scoobs is a rather unhappy fellow at the moment, with a very sick engine. From what I've managed to peice together, the story runs as follows (I started a massive essay for you all but figured i'd give the abridged version!): A radiator hose split while in the mountains, used...

before you start changing the gaskets give it a good power wash to make your job easier. Rocker covers is easy, but cam seals is hard, get new ones from CBC, subaru costs fortune! Its same part but prices difference. Cheers. AP What is this 'CBC' you speak of? A shop or what? My engine has gone kap...

A perfectly good engine for $250? I doubt it'd be complete... I've never been to one of these pick a part joints, i know you need to bring your own tools, but do they have hydraulic jacks and engine stands available to aid in pulling out motors and the like? If I call the PAP will they be able to te...

Attempted to fill radiator this morning but big ol' leak above thermostat and behind belts - I'm guessing waterpump is busted and/or its gaskets are blown? Anything else in that area that could be the culprit? The car isn't drivable at the moment so am trying to organise a mobile mechanic to come an...

Wrong time, wrong place - cooling, leads and engine problems

After an extremely epic rafting trip, my trusty '92 Lib GX gave me the first trouble I've had in 2 years, a long 6 hour drive from the NSW/VIC mountains back to frankston. a slow rise of the temperature needle signaled something was up as its never budged passed middle. Popped the hood and found tha...

Raised king springs have arrived! Need to transfer some funds and dave will have an order for a 3" lift kit :-D

Anyone seen any gen 2 outbacks in melbourne wreckers lately? Looking for trailing arm mounts and maybe a sway bar.

Probably HPR10 or HPR15 for the lib.

Dane.
HPR15 for me :)

Haha, at least your road tyres still had tread pedro!

Sorry for the grave dig everyone, but just wondering how this ended up? Did you go with the fig8 links or what?

Also, would a std. outback sway bar rectify the problem as it'd have different (more preferable?) geometry?

The area I don't have that might be useful is west of Barry's reef, the area with "Paradise track", if you can get that track in the middle of the map that'll be great.

Same as gears on a pushie mate, but at higher speeds it'll be like going from the big ring to the little one in one go... super high revs. I've only ever used low range when starting a tow of heavy loads or 4wding (i.e. when I need it) as the 92 lib owners manual recommends against using the low ran...
