  1. If I already didn't have a scoop I would pick one up. Mine is holding up great! Any pics of the belt cover on a car?
  2. Timing belt, seals, waterpump and thermostat were performed less than a year. Everything was replaced with OE parts. The bottom hose does get hot. I assume a cracked block as I vacuum tested the cooling system yesterday and it’s not holding vacuum.
  3. Need some suggestions guys. I picked up this outback 2 years ago with 134K and it ran great. Not knowing if the TB was ever done I got that done at my local Subaru specialty shop as I didn't have the time. All OE parts including T-stat. This year I started hearing air in the heater core. One summer day at lunch with the car running it started to over heat. So I stopped my lunch early, turned the heat on full blast and went back to work. With the ac it only went slightly over half way. I was able to put a funnel on it and try to bleed it but coolant kept pushing up thru the funnel and spilling over so I figured, great HG! Since then I yanked the motor changed every coolant and vacuum hose and replaced the HG and used a set of ARP head studs. I even flushed out the heater core with a garden hose. Ok so I have only been using water since the OEM coolant is so damn expensive. Put water using the funnel and thought I got all the air out. Drove the car about 25 miles back to my house and get home shut the car off, and there it is again, gurgling. Today I drove the car to work to see how bad the gurgling might get. Then was about a 20 mile trip to work, drives fine and no overheating, but gurgling at work. Ok, so I take it to lunch again, ate in my car with ac and again it starts to overheat. Again windows down, heat on full blast and head back to work. Arrived at work and gurgling is louder. Is this a block issue, small crack maybe?? I'm at a loss now because I don't know what else to check:mad:. Note** I took the heads to the machine shop to skimmed and had 4 valves replaced that were bad. Blocked I cleaned off with the green abrasive pad. Has anyone ran to this issue before? What did you do to fix it? Should I change the short block? You guys have any suggestions that could help? TIA, Rod
  4. Congrats @OOOh Billy, I will be sending mine out soon for some custom work too. I too won't be installing until spring.
  5. Glad to have you back John and happy that you played a critical role in keeping essential workers safe to perform their jobs. Congratulations on getting married....wishing you guys the best marriage!
  6. The sway bars and worn or broken bushings contribute to the squeak. I replaced my rear arms with whiteline and the squeak stop for a couple of days and then started up again. It seems its coming from the rear struts now. I would check all your bushings in the rear to see what is broken and start from there.
  7. @kzr750r1 any idea the name of it or part number maybe?
  8. That's what I was trying to say. Thickness = stiffness. But thanks!
