I knew I was missing something. I can work on engines all day, but have little experience with suspension stuff. Really appreciate the help!

Reinstalling the steering knuckle to strut

I took the steering knuckle off to replace ball joints and cv joints. When I removed the strut-to-knuckle bolts, the strut extended down (from spring pressure I assume). Now I'm having a difficult...

Also you can have a radiator shop test your radiator. They will pressurize it and make sure it holds pressure. I don't think it costs much to have it tested.

Yes, if you see steam, that indicates a leak from the radiator that should not be there. I recommend replacement before it gets out of hand and overheats.

That does not exclude the HG's though...

Just to wrap this thread up, the inner CV joint on the passenger side was the culprit. It will bind sometimes instead of flexing. After I took it apart I don't like the sound/feel of the wheel...

NO, there is not a pressure relief valve. That is pretty much the function of the overflow bottle.

With a 1.8 you can do the HG's pretty easily with the engine in the car. If you aren't...

"Characteristic Bubbling" does make you wonder about the HG's. That's not normal!

As for the coolant disappearing, your radiator shouldn't be steaming. If you see steam, then you have spotted...

Thank you, Kennyfvholla.

The bearings (12 and 6) feel solid. The tie rods (3 and 9) have a little play. I've seen much much worse though.

Every wheel and tire SHOULD be balanced, and...

Suspension/steering problem

I need to fix a problem quickly because this is my only vehicle at the moment and drive 120 miles a day to go to work - I REALLY appreciate thoughts.

This is an intermittant problem. When there...

I finally got it to not start today (wait, isn't that backwards?) I got out and shook the CPS wires, and then it fired right up. I'm wondering if a wire got pinched some how. I think its that or...

Wow, the CEL is on. That seems like a no brainer place to start. 5 codes:
1. Mis in 3
2. Mis in 4
3. Knock Sensor
4. and 5. both related to crank position sensor.

I deleted all codes, and...

Strange No-Start problem

On my dad's EJ22 with EJ25D heads in his '98, he has a condition that I will be looking into this week (traded him cars - wish me luck!).

Sometimes, his car won't start. It will always turn...

Gee-Otto, I think you've misunderstood, I'm suggesting the opposite. DOHC heads from 1997 EJ25D (not sure if rev 1 or 2 - these have the solid buckets with no HLA), bolted to a 1995 EJ22. I'm not...

More research makes me think a 2.5 crank in a 2.2 block would result in pistons almost 2mm above deck height unless there are some pistons with a reduced compression height or some shorter rods.

Any chance I could swap an EJ25 crank in a EJ22? That + DOHC heads could be in the ballpark of 9.4:1. Depending on where the deck height ended up of course.

FINALLY I found some info. Assuming its correct, the DOHC heads are 46 cc and the EJ22 SOHC is 41. The swap would drop compression to just under 9:1.

I don't know if its the cam grind, or the...

Frankensubie....

I picked up a 2.2 from a 95 Legacy for $300, 150,000 miles. If the 2.5 heads check out, I may put the DOHC heads and intake on the 2.2 in while. Either way, I am looking forward to some better...
