No heat, you'll likely make it worrse !! Oh even with heat I made it worse! Looking like its so sold I will have to retap a whole and find a plug. :/ Hex area got so messed up my last resort was to try and use a big screw extractor... drilled it through and the extractor stood no chance, even with ...

Did two just yesterday. The fix, as always is heat. I gave a soak in CRC556 then borrowed a small gas flame from a skinny primus bottle and flame torch with the tip of the blue touching the plug. Was not sure if to heat plug or surrounding alloy so did both for 5 minutes or so until little bits of ...

Well finally decided to make time and split the engine and try to sort things out. Got a chance to rearrange my shop (porch), and got to removing the heads. Damn the coolant passages were a mess. I don't own an impact gun so couldn't get the bellhousing shroud off to try and crack the engine this pa...

missed the bit about the 12V or so from your alternator - that'll cause grief as it should be pumping out about 14.2 V , yet many alternators I have had and used been just on 12 and been fine for most ay to day driving, leave for a week or so and battery is a bit weak. Never found bearing metal in ...

Update:
The engine is coming out. I'm pretty confident it is a crank bearing for cylinder #1. Won't know for certain until it is out and apart, but I was able to manually turn the engine over and fight compression :) Until I got to cylinder 1. There was an area of reduced force. I also was able to apply pre...

Thanks for the info and help again steptoe! those pick up tubes can be so bloody tight you figure no need to pull them out as the fit being so tight must not need O ring replaced. the bearing caps you asking about? as in big end on crank? have just a sideways movement that is hard to describe just a...

Update with video
So my oil tube wouldn't budge. Gave it a good cleaning with kerosene: http://i524.photobucket.com/albums/cc328/hondaspeedx/87%20Subaru%20GL/b5da394e.jpg Went in with my screwdriver, into the right side, front cylinder, to the inside of the engine and found play in this screw. Sorry for being naive, ...

Yeah.. the tube is kinda press fit into the block and has an o'ring under the lip. Just remove the 10mm bolt and try and twist/turn the pickup whilst pulling downwards.. if this make sense? btw.. the rest of the engine looks pretty clean for an EA82. Must have had regular services :) Thank you RSR ...

Update
Well UPDATE: Removed the timing belt, checked the new cam seals, all were good. Then I had the alternator tested on the bench. Testing a little low but still at 12 volts or so and no noises. Pulled the cam seal holders and everything nice and clean and lubricated. Left Side: http://i524.photobucket....

the M6 fine thread bolts are not meant to have a very big torque number on them, single digit - 5 foot pounds ?? or Nm? you don't wanna strip them and don't want oil leaks either An idler pulley? not driving anything? just a ribbed idler instead of smooth one ? Good idea to renew just in case Yes, ...

Today's "progress".... Barely got anytime in today but I fixed the houses and pulled the timing belts, tensioners, flywheel and water pump pulley. Then I pulled the oil filter (possible small silver flecks barely seen) and oil pump (the screws did not seem torqued down much at all!). The "mickey mou...

Glad it sounds like you got things sorted out Fuji! I'm fighting with my EA82 and just did the manifold gaskets. Having some hose routing problems but I fear mine is going to have to be rebuild (spun bearing)... and as always, beautifully clean engine! If you don't mind me asking, what chemical clea...

How about the two large vacuum hoses off the lefthand side of Air cleaner
I still have the hitachi carb... Anyone else? I just replaced my intake gaskets and can't figure out/remeber where the two larg hoses off the air cleaner go. I have an 87 gl wagon with an hitachi carb... Just replaced the intake gaskets and having trouble relocating the two large hoses off the drive...

Thanks Hylton! Cleaned things up a bit but couldn't finish today. Found that rusted line to the engine was actually blocked! As was the small 5/32nds line from the metal pipe in back of the carb to the front! Cleaned them both out and rePlaced to vacuum hose, but will try to find small heater hose t...

Need help identifying this fitting?
87 gl wagon awd auto carb I found a rusted/clogged fitting below my thermostat housing on my intake as I'm trying to clean it and replace all hoses. I didn't label it so I think it was previously disconnected. Can anyone recognize this (the rusted end off the bottom of the housing in the pic) and le...
