Back from vacation! Figured that I probably didn't burp it correctly, so I did every step again. I jacked it up, filled the system from the top hose into the block, topped it off, double checked my timing and revved the crap out of it from the engine bay. Guess what? Still overheated. I've redone ev...

Will a 1995 legacy radiator fit into here? I found a deal on nasioc and an trying to determine if it'll fit

Update. Something's not working. Still overheats. I'm left with the radiator. Overheats too quickly for it to be a head gasket. Or a blockage in the block, which I just can't see it being. I'm getting real tired of this crap.

Edit: anyone in ct want to come help? I'm at my wits end

Added a coolant bridge after talking with some Aussies. Looks cool. About it working? Don't know. Timing jumped all over the place.



Currently resetting the timing and well see.

I replaced the pump and am still having circulation problems. I thought the flow test from the radiator was good so I'm thinking a blocked heater core. Going to get a bypass hose to see if that isolates it. I'm also buying one of those propane tank heaters. I can't be doing this stuff in 15 degree w...

Do your cooling fans run 24/7 either near operating temp or before? I've been tracking down an overheat condition in my car for a few days and I think I nailed it to "overcooling". I think my ECT is bad cause as soon as the engine comes up to op temp, both fans kick on at full tilt and do...

I'm quickly running out of things it could be. There's some leakage from the weep hole, so it either went or was going soon. I also have new coolant sensors that I had lying around and I'm doing a bunch of rubber while I'm in there. Now I just need to unbury the car and get it to the garage once my ...

Silly question....did you happen to remove the bleeder screw on the passenger side of the radiator when you bled the air from the system? Also, what ratio of antifreeze & water are you running? Since the water pump & t-stat are low points the chances of them being in an air bubble are proba...

Opened in boiling water.

I fixed the timing, put it back together and started it up. Ran nicely for 1 minute, then started showing overheating and threw codes 21, 35 and 42. It's making me think that my waterpump is screwed up. Upper hose warms up nicely, but the lower hose is cold to the touch. I don't know. I'm getting a ...

I bought a 1990 legacy that had been sitting at a camp in Maine for 3 years and got it running again. Couple of weeks ago, I started having overheat issues when idling. Replaced the thermostat (yes, OEM), hoses and checked the radiator. The impeller in the water pump looked ok from visual looking un...

Pics and list.

I'm looking to buy an AWD Legacy wagon for parts, pref MT. 90-91 would be perfect and condition is negotiable. I'm in CT, but willing to drive out to pick up. I'm looking for a car that is as complete as possible, but again, willing to be negotiable. Post, PM or text (860-578-5914). Thanks.

Is anyone here a broker? There's a WRX that I would love to strip and put in my 90 TW
