Does anyone know of or has serviced or replaced the oil pump on a 98 model EJ20? Also has anyone done the injectors on them? Service exchange/replaced or cleaned?

Yeah i brought one the same...In a big blue subaru folder, genuine Fuji Heavy Industries dedicated to the L series.. has everything is friggin massive and weighs a tonne..! All the separate sections can be pulled out and read individually.. Im lovin the transmission and diff section at the moment..

Yeah MPFI heads were a bit of a drama for me to find.. For example, i live on the east coast (NSW) and the only ones i could find were on the west coast (WA).. You may have beta luck but... You could convert to carbie if you were seriously dedicated...!

Thats cool... I luv seeing subys on there natural terrain... were you bouncing of the redline when hitting that hill..?

Went for a nice little cruise on sunday.. Found some new tracks had heaps of fun.. Got some pics here of a bit of a hillclimb, theres like 9 watertables one after the other.. It dosen't look that steep in the photos but it feels alot steeper when your going up it.. http://www.ausubaru.com/coppermine...

Brumbydan. I think i seen ur brumby at superchump 2day.. I brought an oil filter n some castrol edge for the impreza..

subaruoodude - 12000kms @ 120km/hr = c u in 10hours. lol

Anyone else keen..?? Ill make sure i get some good pics..

Um either the California trail in the Wollemi Nat. Park. Might head up 2 the California hut. Or... Just head down milbrodale, theres a big property down there you gotta pay like $5 per car/4wd to get in. It backs on 2 the Yengo Nat. Park. Both fairly easy tracks, U will be using lo-range..

I might go for a bit of a bush bash up a few trails near my place this sunday if anyones keen..?

lol. i used to live on the central coast.. Moved up here bout 6 months ago..

Hey brumbydan i think ive seen ur brumby gettin round town.. I drive a white L series with 14 sunraysias and a white bullbar.. Ill post up a pic when i get a chance..

Yep yep hunter valley..

youd have to pull one of the valves out..

EDIT: also judging by the amount of material left on those seats id say this head has probs had the works..

I brought guyphs other MPFI head off him.. And it was in great condition.. They had been cracked, but properly repaired and also had the valve seats and valve guides replaced... Its back in the car and havn't had a prob with it..

Yeah i could think of a better hole to be in.. haha.. Ok ive done a quick fix that im pretty happy with.. The bolt that came out of it was kinda short, so i replaced it with a bolt that was bout 5-6mm longer, to my luck the hole in the block had enough good thread right at the back for it to bite in...

Ive been down there all arvo and yeah its tight.. Yeah i know i will have to remove the radiator and probably the fan if i wanna get a drill in there... The next thing im sus bout is the shavins fallin in behind the centre front timing cover.... just checked out a few kits on ebay 2... anyways ill c...

I dont really want to have to drill it out because i can't get a drill in there without removing a few things.. I guess i will if i hav 2... Um so say if i had a perfect 8mm dia hole and wanted to put an 8mm dia bolt in it, i can helicoil it... meaning i don't hav to drill it out to say 9mm then ins...

Thanks..

Ive neva used them before..
So i can just put a helicoil straight in the hole n put my 8mm bolt straight into that..?

Ok, my girl has been running fine up until yesterday.... Little bit of a story before i get to the point... I was on my way home from work in the wet n was havin a bit of a play every time i stopped for lights n stuff, n was dumpin the clutch n gettin a bit of front wheel spin... Anyway i was turnin...

Yeah so far so good... Guess time will tell.. Ill get back 2 ya when ive done 50 000ks.. lol

Hey bennyg.. Yeah as you figure phill is right, ebay is your friend... Almost all the good deals i got were from ebay.. I just ended up gettin the complete engine gasket n seal kit cause i ended up using just about everything in it except for 1 or 2 gaskets... How is she running..?? Well we are stil...
