BrianEarlSpilner Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Love this thread.... -sheared a bolt re-installing the water pump -sheared off intake manifold stud re-installing manifold (the first time) -put the engine back in the car and then found the flywheel flex plate in my trunk, D'oh!! that was fun attaching with the engine in. -had the starter sitting on a counter for a month while the engine was out and I didn't touch it, which sounds ok. Now the temp dropped and it's not releasing from the flywheel fast enough so I have to listen to that awful screech from time to time. why o why didn't I grease the shaft?

Merc6 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Magnuson, u know of someone doing this before? Am I gonna end up shipping my ecu to Cobb? I bricked 2 of them sombitches and forgot about it! 1st one was done by battery dying between the flash from eco to stage 2.5 for a NJ turnpike fun run making me run to Cherry Hill Subaru. 2nd one was me thingking the AP didn't need to be unmarried and the car has the same vin so why the eff not? A trip to VA dealership where they argued that the ecu wasn't fried. Have it towed to Worst Buy so they can prove the alarm wasn't the problem. ECU again and then a trip to DPS for Opensource so I no longer touch an AP. Now I'm running tunes off my Toughbook for my DD using EZ Flash. No little green cables to connect or remember to un connect before you start the car. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chato Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 when I got through the arduous process of timing belt, water pump, pulley tensioner replacement, put everything back together (fans and all) only to realize that I had snapped off the small coolant nipple when I was doing rotations on the motor to verify functioning of the belt. Moral of the story, just take out the darn radiator when doing timing components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleap007 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The fix for my ecu was as simple as a booster pack on the battery so I had enough energy to uninstall ap and install/reflash. Was pretty worried for a couple days!phew.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dujo Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 If 'hicksta' can be a verb, so can 'frank_ster'... and I think the definitions will differ quite a bit I totally hicksta'd my intercooler while reinstalling it and then I was out on the highway and went way lean with unmetered air under boost and completely sigmafoured my engine at speed. It was super sketchy. Now though, I'm considering frank_stering in a turbo 6 though I may just go the easier route and rebuild with a new shortblock. If I do that though, somebody suggested that I should MaxCapacity a build thread to get some tips. First thing I'll need to do though is MrTris my parts list. This time, I'll make sure that I BarManBean my new intercooler too. Especially if I'm gonna boxkita my wagon on the weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
