Vlad is it pretty typical for them to have that electrolysis looking corrosion on the coolant inlet and outlets? I noticed a similar condition on my FXT when I did the timing belt last month, and then again when replacing the radiator 2 weeks later after the top tank burst on the stocker. :vash:
|
My old one had it. Had to switch to worm drive clamps to get it to seal.
|
I've seen plenty of it, on cars runing oem and non-oem fluid. so yeah

About how long does it take you to pull one of those out? I always hear that they're super easy.
|
4 hours. by myself with no help at all. I take my time, everything comes out perfectly: no scratches, stripped bolts, etc.
If I attacked it with an impact and a couple monster energy drinks like some of the backyard mechanics that often break stuff, I bet I can do it in an hour flat. |
Step by step directions please.
Ill get you started 1. |

God damn! What the fuck was the turn around time on that?!
|
Dropped off Saturday at 1, picked up Monday at 3.
It helps that the shop I used is the same shop that does all of the local Subaru dealership's machine work ;) |
117k, clutch is still going, I hope to get rid of the car before I have to pull the engine and do a clutch, and maybe an oil pickup if the motor hasnt grenaded by then....
What sort of services did you perform behind machine shop? fuking hell that's fast. |
Clean, pressure test, vacuum test, machine/mill.
I've had a set completely rebuilt in the past with new guides, valve job, shim, machine, clean, the whole works from a competing machine shop. took a week. the 2 machine shops I use are literally across the street from one another LOL |

I think we're gonna turn the boost down about 2psi and take out at least 2* of timing at peak load to keep these HG's happy. On another note: if anyone wants a good condition used ARP stud kit for super cheap, holler at me. |
Working on the EJ25 in Gesso's Forester was a lot of fun, just because it was so different. I haven't touched a horizontally opposed engine since probably the 90s when I had my bug.
So I'm going to order a replacement axle for the WRX. Any brands I should avoid? 2004 SUBARU IMPREZA 2.0L H4 Turbocharged CV Half Shaft Assembly | RockAuto Goddammit. I need to go look at the production date on the door jam tag :vash: |
I've only dealt with OEM so not sure on other brands.
It's hilarious how many mid-year revisions Subaru has made to the different models. Basically need vin# for everything. Random funny fact: for the 08 wrx, you cannot buy a new oem half shaft boot. At all. Even though it's the same rubber boot used on cars for decades |
|
You can buy like 5 of the rockauto ones for that money lol
Honestly I'd give it a shot. For that price, even if it dies in a year it's still worth it. |
I desperately, DESPERATELY wish someone would steal my BRZ and crash it into a pole at a high rate of speed.
Too bad my new place in OKC has secured parking. I have to start leaving it on the street with the fob in it and hope I get lucky. |
