Moderators BarManBean Posted January 13, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2016 So I think everything is disconnected...except the heater core hoses, I think I missed those. Trans / motor look to be coming apart a tiny bit on there own, which should be enough to work with. Hopefully removal goes fairly smoothly tomorrow because it's friggin cold and I'm going to need to roll the car back out of the garage a bit in order to have enough room to roll the crane around.

Underdog Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Just replace them, don't bother upgrading unless you hate having money. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted January 13, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2016 Just replace them, don't bother upgrading unless you hate having money. Roger that. I guess I also need to grab some RTV black or Fujibond. Is there a preference between the two or does it matter?

Underdog Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I've always used Fujibond gray for all the Subaru engines I've built, but only because it's what I started with and never had a problem. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, never knew Fujibond was so expensive I'm looking at possibly using "The Right Stuff." Heard good things about it in the past and it seems easy to apply. Price is cheaper as well.

Heard good things about it in the past and it seems easy to apply. Price is cheaper as well. Depends where you buy it I guess; plus amortize it over 6-8 engines. Good luck and let us know how it goes. I've used it in other applications and it is easy to work with and never failed me either.

Gex Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Permatex Ultra Black RTV is what I used. Holding up just fine. Also I just used the Beck/Arnley half moons. Part no.039-6552, they are identical and made in the same factory to the Subaru ones. Working fine for me so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snm95ls Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I would imagine that Fujibond is very similar to Hondabond. With that said, with all the years of messing with Hondas, I never spent the money on Hondabond as Permatex Ultra Grey works very well. It (Permatex Ultra Grey) will tolerate surfaces that are not perfectly clean which can be a bonus in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators BarManBean Posted January 14, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted January 14, 2016 Motor is out! Only glitch really was that it seems that the clutch fork fell back down a bit and caught the TOB on the way out. Not really enough to prevent the motor from separating, but enough that the TOB seems to spin a bit off center now and seems loose. Is that normal with a 6mt setup? I didn't install it going in, so I'm not entirely sure. I planned to possibly replace the TOB anyway while the motor is out, so not to bent up about it. Popped the clutch off also and it looks great along with the flywheel. Both will go back in the car without me worrying about those parts at all. http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad187/BarManBean/OBXT/D1E7F3EB-620A-43DF-93C0-123A6154BC00_zpsw11g7qrm.jpg "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I hope you marked the clutch assembly so you can install it in the same position. Check the clutch fork for cracks ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Check the clutch fork for cracks ? Nope, I did not. Please advise? Clutch fork seems fine. Hell, the TOB could be fine also. It just looks like the fork maybe slipped down a bit and/or the engine came out a bit crooked and one of those caught the TOB. Not having really seen how the part was when it went in, I can't honestly be sure that anything is wrong with it.

Underdog Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 OEM clutch comes with a mark on the clutch cover that should be installed 120 degrees off from mark on FW. Sometimes the marks are missing or hidden by dust so it helps to mark the clutch cover to the FW with a white paint marker or similar. Aftermarket clutches do not have such balance/alignment marks, and should usually be balanced by a machine shop anyways (usually while getting the FW resurfaced for a new kit). I have seen some reputable aftermarket clutches as much as 40g out of balance (1g or less is the target for street performance car).
