Ryan, Can't help with the unclogging, but: It's been running -5 to 25 degrees here. I've been using 5W-40 or 5W-50 when I can find it. Wally Mart Has the...

Hi Has anyone inspected and changed the wheel bearings on a 1997 or similar Subaru. Are they sealed bearings or are they tapered bearings that get greased....
I've done both, unfortunately the spindle was destroyed by the failed bearing, and I ended up with the replacement hub anyway. Glen ... From: "marcwert"...
So we did our bit to give the the faltering economy a little boost and bought a brand new '09 2.5i Outback. The base model sure comes pretty loaded, in my...
We have a 90 Legacy (2.2) that has a bad oil leak out of the front of the engine. I suspect a bad front oil seal on the crankshaft. I have pulled the radiator...
You need a specialty tool calle a BMFP. Big Mutha Freaking Pipe. Its just a matter of getting enough leverage on the socket. nipper ... [Non-text portions of...
I used a strap wrench on the pulley, with the handle braced under another accessory, and a big breaker bar to remove the bolt. If it's a 5-speed, putting it...
I've done it two ways now. Option 1. I used two 3/8" socket extentions, which fit neatly in two of the four holes in the pulley, which allowed me to put a...
On the 2.2 (EJ22) I've used option 2 a couple of times now, and it seems to work fast and easy, altho, I do fear the flying tool fiasco, but so far it's been...
Yea, definitely the easiest to do, just make sure the wrench is already snug against the inner fender (air box and/or battery removed) before hitting the ...
Bought a 91 legacy with overheating problems. Seems like it would idle fine and the temp guage would stay halfway up the guage. When I ran higher rpm's on...
How to fill ANY cooling system: Open any bleed valves, remove cap and start car. SLOWLY start to fill cooling system. Do not put anything in before starting ...
Could be the head gasket job wasn't done right ? I've always wondered if I'm really doing them right, or just getting lucky. Even if the coolant is low, it...
Yeah, I wondered about that too... when you said the heads were "perfectly flat"... was that determined by a machine shop, or how did you measure the ...
I'm surprised you didn't burst into flames getting into an EJ series Subaru. -- Ryan R. LaMothe Sent from my iPhone 3G On Mar 6, 2009, at 8:02 PM, "Roberts"...
Actually, I've had a couple of EJ-22's previously, and they we're okay... this is my first 2.5, and I'm hoping it doesn't burst into flames... I've heard lots...
I replaced the HG in my wife's 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback Limited at 120k. White over sandstone, leather, winter package. Worth it, very nice car. Glen ... ...
Yeah, this one seems nice in the comfy arena... and looks nice... it's black over sandstone, leather, double sun roofs, and other such creature comforts (not...
Nope, that was her 99 Legacy 2.5GT. Same motor and transmission, but a sedan, and sportier suspension. No leather on that one, but it has most everything...
Hmmm... I have heated seats, but haven't seen the heated mirrors or windshield (or would I even know), and of course I've a rear defroster... so maybe it's a...
Hmm, I wonder if this "winter package" or what ever Subaru calls it, includes a limited slip rear differential. That option was scattered around on a few...
Yep, Roberts, thats the DOHC interference 2.5 liter that my son had in his LTD and I have in my Forester. His HGs went here in Charlotte and was not fixable...
That's been my fear, that I hope it won't be realized... previously all my soobs have been of the non-interference variety (i.e. 1.8l's and 2.2l's)... I guess...
I had my timing belt changed at 80k when they fixed the head gaskets I'm now at 160k and wondering if it's time to change it again along with the water pump?...
