Does it pump with the fuel cap off?

Before that, can we see something on the carby to stop anything falling in and working its way through to the valves or further ...... Some good advice there. A piece of leaf litter could be blown into the carb while you're busy doing other things. (That's another story about a mates RX4). Looks li...

I think some is confused with Camber / Caster ... :confused: Must think like : Camber is vertical + Caster is hoizontal ... :cool: To fix Camber : As suggested is not easliy done, as you need to move the top of strut or put in spacer's to adjust ... :( To fix Caster : Place a string line along side...

Looks good James.

Take me for a burn soon.

I'm waiting for comments on why the distributor sits the way it is.

I'll bet the injectors are weeping while stationary and wetting the sparkplugs.

Seen it too many times to count, on many different engines.

If you can get it to start, take note of the exhaust smoke and smell, unburnt fuel.

Too thick.

HPR 15 would be better.

Good enough for me, one car is turbocharged.

Hi, my 2004 imprezza 2 litre fuel pump is howling its head off, and ive had a look at where its located to renew it. The outlet (pressure hose) from the pump has an unusual looking fitting on it with 2 brown spring loaded plastic tabs (1 on each side) Is it simply a matter of squeezing these tabs t...

Have done water injection for years, don't bother with anything crude, especially for a boosted engine. I will be buying a system from AEM electronics in the USA for my WRX. The biggest issues are flow start point and total volume over the boosted range of the engine. For that, you need electronic c...

If it is a ceramic ballast resistor, they do run hot.

I'll assume the resistor is for the injectors.

5000 rpm and 30km/hr in first gear, the clutch must be slipping.

Wide open throttle in 3rd should get it to slip.

Eventually you won't be able to apply wide open throttle in any gear.

the last bolt always is ...if you left it to last rather than just crack 'em all at the beginning :) A lesson here too ....a guy with loads of experience not asking if he should go EJ or how to power up an EA81 , he's just quietly gone about a sweet rebuild of an EA81 including a cam spec change. Q...

Hey Gary, how tight was that center one? :) took me a lot of huffing and puffing bracing myself against the bench pushing the breaker bar with both hands holding milk crate engine stand between my legs...then it cracked and let out a hiss :rolleyes: It was tight alright, breaker bar and another bar...

Took about 10 mins to have the crank and cam out.

Off to work tomorrow to press the cam gear off, and get the cam reprofiled and lifters refaced.

I know it's been a while, but just couldn't remember that bolt from the last engine. Thanks again.

You are a life saver, there it is below Cylinder 3 on the RH bank, halves might be split tonight. :D

Good afternoon gentlemen,

I have an EA81S that is proving difficult to split the crankcase halves.

Have you Subie boys any tips?

Dry fit windscreen, that's a new one.

Windscreens and rear windows are either sealed with a non-hardening "windcreen sealant" for older cars with rubbers, or glued in with a hardening sealant like newer cars.

The circuit is calibrated for 2 x 21w stop lamps, 42 watts = 3.5 amps. Any deviation from this will cause the failure lamp to light up. Are the stoplamps the same brightness? Are they working when the failure lamp is on? I'd isolate the towbar brake light wire away from the factory wiring to test fo...

You want to hope it's impervious to split fluids.

My Holden/Toyota dealer has spent $400k on the workshop floor over the last 6 months.
It is still a bone of contention for anybody "in the know"

The company has no idea on what works on a workshop floor.
