05LGTLtd Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Tried to pull steering rack out on the 93L project car last night. Both tie rod end lock nuts are frozen. Grrr. Drivers side tie rod end won't separate from the knuckle either. Cheap separator tool won't fit, and couldn't find the nicer one that comes in from the side. Little progress made, but "I shall return.." All I need now is a hill holder and a center passing light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqc151 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 i hope you got OEM, and you should machine the heads and block before putting the HG back in if you dont want future problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyposeur Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I got my Gates timing kit, head bolts, hydraulic tensioner, and my CDI/Snap-on torque wrench. That wrench is soooo pretty. HGs should get here Tuesday and the SS should get here Sunday. Oh, and I got a free EJ22T, but like anyone wants to even hear about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I love the CDI torque wrenches, they are built well and have a good feel to them. I have torqued down a bunch of head bolts with it, plus millions of other bolts and I had it tested about a month ago and it is dead on spec. Heads should show up friday. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the CDI recommendation. And thanks for the heads too! I'm gonna go look at my CDI right now. It does have a great feel to it. Maybe I'll put it under my pillow tonight. edit: Looking at the CDI right now. It's an amazing tool. I'll never get over it. It can be dialed so accurately. TW = (TAxL)/(L+A) FTW! Edited February 9, 2012 by monkeyposeur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyposeur Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I started her up and watched white smoke pour out of her exhaust while I moved her a few feet. I'm going to start on plucking her engine out tomorrow. HGs should arrive tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyposeur Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I spent all day getting my engine ready to pluck from my SS. I know an expert can do it in two hours, but I'll take more like two days, lol. I'm labeling everything and taking lots of pics. I wish I had the FSM for the EJ22T, .

monkeyposeur Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Spent another day prepping the 22T for removal. Getting closer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaPablo Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Picked up new valve cover gaskets and a new fuel filter, going to do those this weekend. Anything I should watch out for? Do I need to put any gasket sealant on when I'm doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'm in day three of engine removal on my SS. It was a bitch to get the turbo disconnected from the downpipe. There are five (or so) bolts that connect it to the downpipe, and at least two that connect it to the uppipe. The nuts were seized and I had to go and buy two different swivel head ratchets to get them off. But once I got the downpipe removed I could see the teeniest, cutest little turbine. It is about the size of a little hostess donut, lol. Trying to remain calm throughout all this. But I'll know that engine inside and out when I'm done. Broke a couple of things, too.
