Re: OK, I've decided to fix the oil leaks... What else should I replace?
It is mounted to the front of the engine in the center. It is necessary to remove the timing belt and pulley on the crank for the timing belt.
1) Remove all the bolts that mount the pump to the block. 2) On the passenger side of the oil pump on the top you will find a small lip. Use a screwdriver to remove the oil pump (A BIG SCREWDRIVER) and pry against the block using that lip. (Remember they used a sealer between the oil pump and the block , which makes it sometimes difficult to remove.) 3) Be sure to use ULTRA BLACK or ULTRA GREY silicone to re-seal the pump.

Re: OK, I've decided to fix the oil leaks... What else should I replace?
Yeah my guide has the prices on it from Subaruparts.com when I ordered them.
The 2 orders I placed with them took me 3 weeks to get parts from Suabruparts.com. If you order from subarupartsforyou they come as kits. http://subarupartsforyou.com/cp_part...skts&model=SVX I live in CT and they subarupartsforyou are based in CT so after taxes and shipping it was cheaper to wait the 3 weeks and get it across the country from subaruparts.com... I have also ordered parts from 1stsubaruparts.com and they arrived in 1-2weeks. Their oem catalog page seems to be broken though... ...I need to try that Liberty Subaru place it seems. |

Bingo. It is indeed driven by the timing belt.

Re: OK, I've decided to fix the oil leaks... What else should I replace?
OK, I'm not really worried about the valve cover job, I think it's pretty straight forward. Are there a walk through for the timing belt/water pump/oil pump/pulley job anywhere?
Thanks. Clarke |

I think some of what your looking for may be in here:

Re: OK, I've decided to fix the oil leaks... What else should I replace?
Ok, I would recommend taking the alternator off, and the p/s pump too, just to make things a little easier. Leave the A/C. It won't really get in the way, and you don't want to pay to have it recharged. From there its pretty simple.
1) Remove Timing covers 2) Drop one pulley off to relieve tension on the belt. 3) Remove belt, and any pulleys, etc. in your way or that you plan to replace. 4) Remove timing pulley from crank. I was lucky and mine came off very easily. You may have to use a gear puller. Do NOT grip the pulley on the keys that get read by the sensors. They will break, and you will need another pulley. 5) Remove bolts from oil pump. Pry against block on the tab mentioned earlier located on oil pump. 6) Clean the mating surfaces with some sort of chemical (MEK, acetone, etc.) I find MEK works extremely well. (Sidenote : always properly ventilate area, wear chemical gloves, and DRY WIPE the surface before the MEK evaporates. It will leave a film on the metal if you do not.) 7) Replace front main seal, and o-ring behind the pump. 8) Apply ultra-grey or ultra-black RTV to the pump per the FSM, or find LAN's engine build how-to. It has a picture of the oil pump with the silicone on it. 9) Reinstall pump 10) Take tensioner off of engine and compress (use a vise, or in a pinch a c-clamp will work). 11) use a drift pin to lock the tensioner in the compressed position. 12) reinstall tensioner. 13) Reinstall all timing components 14) When doing the belt, be sure the markings line up with the PULLEYS and not the timing cover. (I leave one pulley off while doing this, and then reinstall the last pulley to put tension on the belt. After all pulleys are on, and timing is TRIPLE checked, I pull the drift pin out of the tensioner.) 15) Reinstall everything else. I left out doing the cam seals because they are pretty straight forward. Also, you will have to find a way to torque the cam pulleys. I used my old timing belt, wrapped it around the pulleys, held it with vice grips and had a friend hold the belt taught while i applied the torque to the bolt. Use thread lock on the pulley bolts. ALL OF THEM. Tensioners, idlers, etc. You will also need a tool for installing the crank pulley bolt. I made one out of flat stock and grade 8, 5/16" bolts. Good luck.

Thanks Cam! This is a good start and I think I can get it all apart and back together without much trouble. It's keeping the timing correct that worries me...

Zero interference leaves some room for error . If you just triple check that all your marks are dead on before AND after you pull the drift pin on the tensioner your ECU will do the rest.

Actually it's driven by the cranks shaft itself, which drives the timing belt, ....just a clarification

Re: OK, I've decided to fix the oil leaks... What else should I replace?
OK, so I've got my parts list together and including all the seals, 6 new plugs, and 2-day shipping I'm at about $220 from ubarugenuineparts.com. I called and they have all the parts in stock, so I should have them by Thursday.
BIG weekend haead of me Does anyone have an electronic copy of the service manual for a 1996? Thanks in advance. Clarke |
