Anyone?

Ok so I haven't had much time to do anything with the car lately but I did have a chance to look it over real quick. I didnt have time to take off the crank pulley and line the crank notch strait up, but I did turn it until the pulley line was pointing up. What I noticed was that the left side (look...

Thanks for the pics guys. I think it should be easy to check now. What about the crank pulley? Does it just unbolt? Thanks.

Ok so the cams and the crank marks all have to line up. Now my question is how do I observe the crankshaft mark? IS there a mark on the pulley on the end of the crankshaft? So to check the timing do I have to take the center cover off or can I observe it with just the cam covers off?

Thanks.

Ok what does TDC mean, and how do i do it? You want me to take the belt off line up the marks and then start it to see if that was the problem right? To take the belt off I have to take off the crank pulley that powers the accessories belt correct? Is it all pretty straight forward? Does the belt ev...

Ok I just read the post above and I will check the plugs and coolant for contamination and let you guys know. As far as every thing else I pulled off the two side covers on the timing belt today and on the right side pulley where the water pump is, there was a line of paint where I thought maybe the...

Well the engine does crank over a few times and then you have to leave it off for a few hours to get it to crank again. It will at like it wants to run but is really slow, shakes, and makes a ton of noise. The longest it stayed running for was only a few seconds and during that time the damn thing s...

Ok so I pulled it back from the mechanics today. Took it to my dad's house and began to look at things. We tryed rolling it and putting it into gear to see what it would do and it made a bad noise so I stopped right away. Pulled it into the drive way and began to check out everything under the engin...

Thanks for the quick replies fellas. I meant right side looking from the front. So left side if your sitting in the car. I smelled something like burning rubber from the area of the water pump when I saw the smoke/steam. The car didn't just quit all at once it just popped, and then dropped revs and ...

Well I was just cleaning up the loose ends on the car I bought, and was getting some info on here about the car. Unfortunately, the car died on me while on the highway. It made a pop noise like an intercooler hose being blown off and then the revs dropped down, and it died. I pulled over thinking it...

Ok, thanks for the info. I love being back in Colorado.

Can anyone give me some info on this? Is there or is there not supposed to be a brass fitting that goes on the wastegate actuator to boost solenoid line? I called my local subaru dealer and they had no idea what I was talking about. Anyone adivise?...thanks. Its the next to last pic on the page. Wha...

Im just wondering is that brass fitting a simple hole or is it a one way valve? Is it something I need to get at the dealership? I read that the wastegate cannot close between shifts without that brass fitting.

Hi, I was working on my car today and I noticed that in the instructions in the library for the halman mbc, that your supposed to have a small brass fitting with a hole in the mbc to wastegate line. I do not have that and come to think of it the lag between shifts has always been pretty bad. What ca...

Yes I think so..Its looks like its coming out of the end of the transmission or near it. I am going to get a better look this weekend and take pics if I can find the leak.

Im trying to remember..I bought the fluid like a year ago..It was Redline brand gear oil. So what are my options as far as a fix? Sometimes it leaks a alot and others its not bad. Should I worry about the stutter starting in first also? Thanks

I just bought a 1993 Legacy Sport about 2 weeks ago. I got it for 800 bucks with a bad clutch. Im only a minor mechanic, and the biggest job I have ever done was to swap a turbo on my old DSM. Needless to say I have no idea about clutches and transmissions. My budget was 2000, including the car, to ...
