Re: I took today off work

Thanks Dave, lots of tedious work it helps me unwind from stress. If you have 2 rear covers and a center front with all of the tabs, I'm interested. PM your # I got a new phone and lost all my contacts. BTW you don't happen to have a miscellaneous nut & bolt collection.

I believe the pearl white Subaru used is a three stage job. Which would mean it is most likely the mid coat that is yellowing, not the top coat, so there is nothing you can do, outside of repainting it.

Re: I took today off work

Thanks, I appreciate the comments. My SVX went 10 years without a garage thru very salty winters. She's served me well so now I'm paying it forward. Cleaning the engine & bay feels like I'm brushing about 10 million teeth. BTW that garage is only 2 feet wider than the car

Re: I took today off work

Got some more done today.
Airbox installed, intake, cam caps and cam seals.


Does anyone know of a semi how-to on removing and resealing the oil pump?
I'm a little scared to remove it without knowing what is behind there.

Re: I took today off work

I need to let out some rage. After a bout with my woodruff key and some good advice/help from Hocrest, I got a chance to start her up today. Now for the rage, I forgot to tighten the high pressure P/S line. You guessed it ATF everywhere, after cleaning it all up I had to call it a day early. I didn't take any pics 'cause I was freakin' out, I hear ATF is bad for paint. I'm so and

Michael

Very sorry to hear about your mishap. These things happen, but that doesn't make it any easier to swallow.

FWIW, brake fluid is very bad for paintwork, but I had never heard that ATF might be bad for paintwork. It could be, of course, but that's news to me.

As you know our steering fluid is ATF. If you look at the feed pipe connected to the gearbox where the dipstick is situated, you will note it is painted a nice glossy black. I have never known that nice gloss black paint to deteriorate or be marked by spilled ATF.

So I would expect that you have wiped off everywhere, and I also would expect your paint will suffer no damage.

Re: I took today off work

I still can't believe it happened. I was in a rush to get it back together, I guess. That pump sure pushes fluid! In about 10 seconds it puked about 1qt. Some of it made it's way as far as the battery. At least now I don't have to Armor All anything

Re: I took today off work

Got it all cleaned up and took some better pictures. I have to say it looks better in pictures than in person. If you see anything I missed please say so. I know I have to replace the stickers on the rad support and I need the floppy loose hose for the P/S hose. Also a rusty bolt here and there.
