#184 of 253 2003 Outback Engine Pinging Part 2 by charliebob May 27, 2008 (8:05 am)
I neglected to mention in 1st post that the engine has 40K miles on it. I use name brand regular fuel and upon moving up to the next octane level(89), it still pings. Initial report of this to S.O.A. produced a case# but 2nd and 3rd follow up reports have not been answered. Replies to this message: famof3kids (Aug 05, 2008 7:59 am)

1st the heat went; I put in a new thermostat. Temp gauge goes to High in 50 yrds,there's heat only sometimes. There is no steam coming out the tailpipe/ no water in the oil . Mechanic says it's the headgasket. Help Replies to this message: ateixeira (May 27, 2008 7:46 am) paisan (Jun 03, 2008 12:23 pm)

#189 of 253 2001 Subaru Legacy 2.5l sohc camshaft alignment by pneug May 28, 2008 (7:01 pm)
I replaced the timing belt and the LH and RH camshafts were turned. I want to be sure all is in order prior to cranking. Any ideas? Replies to this message: pneug (May 29, 2008 5:56 am)

Replying to: pneug (May 28, 2008 7:01 pm) I have a compression gage and noticed the # 1 and #2 cylinders are not hitting at the same time. The #2 is compressing 180 degrees out as we manualy rotated the crankshaft. The firing order is 1,3,2,4 so the #1 and #2 should be compressing at the same time, right? If this is true then how do I make it so?
#191 of 253 Engine Knock by wyomr2 May 30, 2008 (10:19 am)
I recently purchased a 95 Legacy with the 2.2 engine and 175k miles. In the last 3-4 weeks it started making a ticking sound which has turned into more of a knocking sound. This only happens under load starting around 2500 RPM until around 4000 RPM. I took it to two different mechanics. The first thought it was just a stuck lifter and did an oil change and added some Sea Foam, which has made no difference. The next mechanic looked it over and said he though that the wrist pins are starting to go. Has anybody had similar problems with this engine. I've never really heard of anyone else having this problem?
