What I'm working with!

[uberkevin]

Got that taken care of Flat. The l18 head gasket did fail but! I'm pretty positive it was the head bolts that did that one in.

After I took them out I was like WTF! I put these in this block??? The fuck! And I know for a fact I cleaned them along with the threads in the block.

 

I'm hoping its just a head gasket Jon. But if it is rings then.. my bad.. but still there isnt coolent in oil and not burning oil.. idk..

[uberkevin]

I know this is subaru stuff but I don't give a fuck!

 

Throw out bearing is fucked no spinning at all.

Presure plate is fucked as well.

 

 

 

 

[thisismatt]

Do you always hold the clutch at stops?

[uberkevin]

I don't!

 

 

Lexi does when she's backing up. She probably does at a stop to turn as well..

But this kind of wear wouldn'thave in 6 months I would think..

 

 

I'll have to have a talk with her. Haha

[Lockleaf]

I would not consider that related to clutch holding. I hold my clutch at almost all lights, have for years. That was bearing failure for sure, but I wouldn't blame anything but just the bearing.

[uberkevin]

 

Resurface for good measure?

Or just change out that bearing and keep the fuck going? ???

 

Oh and buy more beer..

 

Tranny wasn't hard to get out at all!

Real easy job I feel.

Yes it took me a little while but with work and my back being a bitch I think I did alright. Oh and got 44 hours.

Weird how some videos show up and some dont when I post them.. I alway post the same way.

[bananahamuck]

For fucks sake resurface that god damn thing,,, why would you ever risk it slipping or chattering  for what $30. bucks or so

[uberkevin]

If its not needed it not needed.

But I'll be getting it done. No worries.

Bearing failure. They're known to be shitty.

 

Shocker about that pressure plate though.

[thisismatt]

Same with the subi head gaskets. Knowing that now I'd never buy one of those turdburglers

[Lockleaf]

Same with the KA24e head gaskets. Knowing that now I'd never buy one of those turdburglers

[uberkevin]

Once you replace the head gasket they are tits!

[uberkevin]

 

Temporary fuck heads!

 

[flatcat19]

I want a Subaru. Have for a while. They're good cars.

[Lockleaf]

I freaking love mine. I live in the Rockies in Utah and the awd is amazing during our random and unpredictable winters. In my opinion, it's the perfect family car for where I live.

[flatcat19]

They're actually really simple to work on.

 

 

Been wanting an Impreza wagon(not a WRX) for a while.

07-08 Forester would be cool too.

Well, I wouldn't run one of those either :P  If an engine doesn't typically do 200k miles without needing something as major as headgasket(s), count me out.  Inlaws have an 09 Forester and just got hit with the reality of needing the headgaskets done.  That's a big job, and big $$$, for people that aren't able to do it themselves.  Car only has like 140k on it, too.

[uberkevin]

Jmy subi has 170 that's pretty darn close to 200. That really not that bad.

[uberkevin]

When I worked at the carwash I drove many cars and trucks. Every subaru I drove was excellent!

After getting this subi I don't know why any one would buy a different car.. subarus are GREAT cars and super easy to work on...

 

But I do understand the cost, of someone not bent able to do it them selfs.

2000 bucks almost for this job.

[thisismatt]

Yeah.  My brother had an 09 Forester as well.  I guess it's the AWD, but for how gutless it was it also got kind of lame gas mileage.  But, it did do his family a solid when his pregnant wife & two daughters got hit on the freeway and rolled in the median.  They were all fine.

140k, eh?

 

 

Any other brand of car, short or Nissan, Honda, Toyota, and Subaru, you'd be buying a new car.

 

$2000 repair bill, or 5-7 more years worth of car paymemts.

[thisismatt]

Hey, even my F250 pos work rig has nearly 140k without needing head work :P
