Off-the-road maintenance

Post by Splinter »

So as you may know, my Legacy is off the road for some time. I figure this is a good chance for me to catch up on some basic maintenance.

Here's my list so far:
Oil pump seal
Front crank seal
Waterpump gasket
Thermostat
Thermostat gasket
Spark plugs
Clean IAC
Engine scrubdown
Coolant temp sensor

Here's what I dont need to do (have done in the last 6-12 months)
Coolant system flush
Waterpump (Need to replace gasket though)
Radiator
Rear main
Rear cams


And some other stuff I want to do:
Power steering cooler
AWIC install
Redo all grounding points
Properly mount new scoop
RS foglight instill
Oil pressure gauge

Stuff Im not sure if I should or not:
Front cam
Headgaskets


Any thoughts?

i would say just for kicks take care of the rear cam seals just because your going to be in there. I only say this because i wish i would of taken care of mine when i had things apart because now, 3 months later, its leaking :(
