any mechanics out there?
I live in the poconos, pa. I can't find an experienced mechanic to work on my svx. They know Subarus, but when they look at my car, they say that they don't have any experience on this engine. I don't want just any mechanic experimenting on my car. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic?

Hey how many miles ya got on your car? SVXPERT does the 60/120k service for around 300 bucks which is a damn good deal.

Valve Cover Bolts
Hi,
Replace the cover gasket, the bolt gaskets AND the bolts. The bolts are VERY soft and may break. I managed to break two. Ended up removing the head and backing out the bolts (luckily I didn't have to tap the head). It's almost impossible to back out the broken bolts with the head still in the car. Just not enough room to get a drill bit in there, even with a 90 degree bit adapter. So a few extra dollars will save you from replacing the head gasket as well. Regards, --DawgTool |

You need to move your shop to NE OH, somewhere between Cleveland and Akron......say Medina, or if you work for a dealer, go to work for Brunswick Subaru (just N of medina)
