After lock up I notice more in low rpms., but maybe at higher, road noise might drown it out,
It sounds like marbles are rattling under the shift lever, I did a search but found nothing specifically like this
Andy

Sorry guys. but I did try a few searches for this,

the idle seems to bounce from 500 to 750 and back when I stop at idle.?

It goes away when the AC is on.

anyway I have to order some valve gaskets

Andy

I bet thats what I did, I will put a liberal amount of grease on this time, and then put it all back together again I did notice that the timing belt was off around 8 teeth all around, from the cam marks, i am glad it didnt break down when I was out with the family, but damn would it slip that much ...

Well i wiil be using the felpro gasket insted of the RTV this time, I must have scored the crank seal during installation, becuase it was flowing like crazy, I must have lost 4 qts of oil on the way home, Filled it when I got home and ran it for a minute to circulate the new oil, how mcuh damage I d...

well i used a good bit of grey RTV and? I am not real sure if it was the rtv or the seal, because the cranks seal had a gouge in it after i took it all back apart,

Dont know what happeded but i am going to use the gasket this time instead of the rtv

we shall see what happens

well I got it al back together, i guess I didnt use enough RTV on the oil pump, and well you now the rest

and would the timing marks continue to be lined up after running for awhlie mine are about 10 teeth off all around

i just used a strap wrench so they came off pretty easy, they did turn a little, but the should all line up with the marks

Thanks Josh I got the cam seals in this evening, the crank seal will be here tomorrow. All the seals and the o rings were so brittle that , they cracked off instead of sliding out, i had a bitch with the pass cam seal, I burred the edge of the the head, but i smoothed it down with a file. I will jus...

do I need to replace the gasket/rubber bumper behind the pass side timing cover, its real oily and wont hold form. or can I just use some RTV on it

Thx

How about cleaning the o2 sensor out the car, I bought a used one and it looks pretty black, is there any way to clean it, with solvent or air ?

thanx, i will check tonight when I get home, has anyone tried using a sproket wrench like in the haynes manual, or just a strap wrench, I wonder how easy the cams turn with out the sprocket on them

Ok, so looking at the front of the engine, the drivers side cam sproket has an L on it,and the passenger has an R. I havent pulled them off yet so I just wanted to know if It is based on siting in the drivers seat?

dumb question I know

well I just bought the cam, shaft, oil filler tube o ring (didnt have oine to begin with), and the o rings for oil pump, lets hope it gets all the oilleaks stopped,

on another note, what would make the drive pully rub into the timing belt cover ?
Thx

Hey all, I was wondering about idle speed. I see that it should be between 600-800. but my tach seems to be below the half mark from 1 to 0 a little above the first mark past the 0

?

Andy

Thanks, I dont what seal is the culprit, but I will just do the lot for GP.. I have a maintenance bay at work with a lift and air tools, so I can use it late at night, wife will be pissed, but no oil on the driverway

Hey all

Any one have a list and a vendor to buy all the seals that I should replace it I am going to remove the timing cover for an oil leak.

I would be nice if someone sold a kit of all the seals that one would need to get the job done

oh the joys of a 11 year old car

yea is a FWD AMT, but they think all of them are AWD

oh well, got some new tires tonight, and found that i have a leaky cam seal, timing cover is leaking oil on the bottom

Funny thing is that the state has all subaru's listed as awd, so I had to d othe 2 speed test, I called the state to have them relook at their descriptions. I should have passed the regular test, ie on the treadmill

thanks

and yes wagons do rule

Hey guys, Let me first introduce myself since I havent done so yet I live in Atlanta, active military officer, and a WAN administrator for the Army, I bought my 94 l wagon at the auction for 1150, with 113000 miles. I have an 05 Tundra d-Cab that I love but gas for 40 miles each way suck, So all you...

Thx all I was able to pull the codes last night and got knock and O2 so I guess its time to get a new one

I thought it was the same as the sticky post, but I dont think so
if I drive and keep the rpm above 1500 its off but as soon as I drop below it comes on, then goes off after I accelerate, I cant get the ecu to respond with any codes. What could this be, TPS or Colant sensor?

Help

Andy

Just looked on the sticky at the top and found the answer. I am in Atlanta so I have to get that light off, is it the canister begin full, or the solenoid malfuntioning

Thx

Hey all, what could be the cause for the CEL to be off when just starting out, but turns on after about 3-5 minutes, or when the idle falls below 1k. Tired to retrieve the code, but nothing shows up. Also when I connected the green ECU plug, and turned to ON, the radiator fan cycled on and off, and ...
