rear main was a breeze. However, cam caps are being a PITA. Also, never heard back about the cam seals...are the cam pulley's keyed to help me maintain alignment when I put them back on? I'm assuming they are, but a definitive yes/no would be great.

How do i get the sprocket off the end of the crankshaft so I can do the front seal? Puller?

cams and crank are keyed so just pop em off. Like I said, screwdriver is quick and easy as long as you don't go gauging it in there. Punch throught the cam caps and pop them out. OR grab a pair of channel locks and grab the caps and twist and pull them out

Quoted to show the level of finesse YT uses when working on internal combustion engines

"Pop 'em off" "Punch throught (sic) the cam caps" "graba pair of channel locks and twist them out" Frustrated much with the kiddies Thomas

soooooooooooooo....

I've got the cam adjuster tool to loosen my cam bolts with no luck. ugh.

Plus, I can't get the toothed sprocket off my crankshaft. I guess 15 years and 170k miles has them on there pretty tight. Any ideas other than get a longer wrench?

Need help...again

Well, all the seals and everything are done, but now I can't get the freakin' engine to mate to the trans. Any tips?

I have the T/O bearing and release fork installed on the transmission side as suggested in the Impreza service manual. I have the clutch installed on the engine side, of course, and I used the input shaft of a junker transmission (same transmission, though) to align the clutch. I've been able to get nuts on the 2 bottom bellhousing bolts, and the starter bolt is started. Can't get the Upper Passenger Side bolt to engage. I'm hesitant about just cranking down on the 3 engaged bolts cuz they're getting a bit heavy to turn.

When we get everything "aligned" and wiggle it to get it to go on farther, the driver's side top isn't moving very easily despite the lower bolt being perfectly aligned and everything looking parallel. No issues with the pins or anything either.

So, let me know what I should do.

Thanks

well... Put the trans in gear.... Use the driveshaft to try and turn the rear output shaft. If it doesn't turn or is very hard to turn the clutch disk is aligned with the input shaft. If you aligned the clutch pre-install there shouldn't be an issue with using the bolts to pull it together. If it is hanging up on the alignment pins... Thats fine to suck it together with the bolts... If not, there is another issue here and you should prob back it out and take a closer look at what might be worng

Is this the same engine going back on the same transmission? If not make sure you don't have the alignment dowels doubled up....
