Hello I'm new to this board but not new to Subarus. We just picked up a 1991 Legacy L minimal rust for the area I live in . It is an AWD Sedan 5 speed with 184,000 on it. I was wondering if I should change the timing belts since I have no history on service. It just seems to purr and it leaks no oil what so ever. I will post some pics soon.
Thanks, Joe

if you've got nothing but free time and money, then yes you should change the timing belt (only one of these puppy's
) It's a pretty easy job.

And maybe even the water pump too, since I had to take my timing belt back off not even 5K miles after replacing it to replace my leaking water pump.rallitektech wrote:legacy92ej22t wrote:And welcome to the BBS!subyluvr2212 wrote: do your timing belts and while you're at it, replace all the front oil seals.
