Just saw on the fresh inventory list of a local Pick A Part they had a 91 in there...gave them a call to see if they could tell me the type (if it was an L or SS) they said they couldn't, but that they also had a 92 in their lot as well...want to head there this weekend as I'm hearing all over the r...

What a pain in the dick it was replacing it....two extensions, a magnet and high frustration level...no wonder Haynes suggests the intake manifold be removed for replacement...but glad I did it, the old one had an 1/8 inch crack surrounding the part that bolts to the engine...although my check engin...

Evo do you have any suggestions for good manuals to use for repairs. I have read that specific service manuals that the dealership maintenance personnel use are as good as it gets, but don't know if those types of manuals would be to specific rather than helpful.

I didn't think it would matter at all. To quote it exactly so I don't look like an idiot: under the heading of Knock Sensor "The knock sensor is threaded into the engine block, when it is removed, the coolant will drain from the engine block. Drain the cooling system. Place a drain pan under th...

No I didn't touch the star nuts, and at first I did have the parking brake on but once I started having an issue removing the wheel I disengaged it because I thought that might be the issue, which it wasn't. Thanks for the heads up on the PB Blaster. Quick question, I know this is the wrong thread f...

Brake and rotor change went very well, didn't know rotors were so simple to swap out. One thing that is puzzling me, it took a crap ton of WD-40 on the lug nut bolts and hub itself to get the rear passenger tire off. The rotor was stuck on there pretty good as well, took some serious pulling to get ...

Thanx for the response evo

Hey fellas, this forum has been a tremendous amount of help for me in the past. I was never a car guy, hesitant on changing my own oil in fear that I would screw something up. Upon purchasing my 91 Legacy Turbo 3 years ago, I have learned how to change the timing belt, got it to pass emissions, remo...

Would a 1993 legacy wagon turbo grille fit onto my 1991 subaru legacy turbo...wanted a heads up before i get it and it won't fit...thanx

That was the exact method I used when I first attempted clearing the codes. While driving around the "CEL" was continuosly beeping I maintained a speed above 7mph and got it to 4th gear. After what I would say was a minute, the light went from continously beeping to giving me a code 31 (th...

After doing the whole sha bang bang with turning the car on letting it warm up...turning it off hooking up both green and black connectors blah blah blah and not being able to clear the codes...I said forget it and just disconnected my negative cable from the battery. Waited a few minutes, connected...

Been a rough couple of days. Took the car to a auto hobby shop put it on a lift, and began cleaning the hell out of the engine valve covers exhaust...there was dried up and wet oil everywhere under there. After an hour and a half of cleaning I started it up and checked for a leak, which there was no...

1991 Subaru Legacy Turbo 2.2L I just replaced my timing belt, serp belts, crankshaft seal, flushed my coolant system, replaced upper and lower radiator hoses, and changed spark plugs. I did my oil change last night and took it to work today (about 15 miles away). When I got to work I saw smoke comin...

Just so I know for when I rotate my cams to get them aligned, cylinder 1 and cylinder 3 are in sync with each other and 2 and 4 are aligned with each other right? That way when I rotate my cams I can feel down in the cylinders I can know which 2 r supposed to be up and which 2 r supposed to be down.

Alright took off all applicable parts, undid the timing cover and took pictures of everything. When I get off of work I'll upload them just to show how far off my timing is off. As far as the arrow on the crankshaft, originally I put that to where it was lined up with the alignment mark, but as far ...

I really appreciate all of your guys input and help, I'll definitely take pics this time, so that if either I have trouble or just to show what marks I was using so the next person does not make the same mistake. Thanx a lot and u guys r great!!!!

LEGACY777 question: So even though I moved the camshafts and crankshaft idependently with the timing belt off, my timing will be good as long as I put both cams and crank timing marks adjacent to the markings on the engine themself, put the timing belt on (which has the markings on it to line it up ...

1991 Subaru Legacy Turbo 16 valve 2.2 L engine Okay so this past weekend I spent the day changing out both my serp belts and my timing belt. I'm a very new mechanic when it comes to working on cars so I was basically in my Hayne's manual the whole time when it came to replacing my timing belt. I cou...
