I got 3 gl wagons 2 are kinda rare. One with the digital dash all under 200k. You did a amazing job.
Thank you! Those digital dashboards are super cool. What year/s are your wagons?
@creativelivingnorthwest 84's I have a blue and silver one that have all the bells and whistles. I actually did a couple videos of the 2 I just picked up. Crazy thing is ausies love to sti swap them brats.
@@Lost10mm. They are pretty popular in Australia. I grew up with a '82 Wagon in the family, it had the "third eye" in the grill and the plaid seat interior
@creativelivingnorthwest wow I've only seen 2 others with the 3rd headlight, most don't know they have them. Like a baby tucker.
@@Lost10mm. We've had several '82 Brats with the 3rd Eye also. Currently I have a lifted one that I may do a video on here eventually
That was a familiar drive; we never rain into rain, some heavy clouds in valleys, but the sun was out, til 200AM. Beautiful scenery around every bend, and careful of the wandering wildlife.
Skips everything that happen before accessing the belt this not showing what's actually difficult
Showed everything that was available to show. There was no power steering or A/C, and the timing belt covers were already off. Those are not difficult things to remove if you remove the L/H side engine mount as shown
Hi. I love the simplicity of your video. I now feel confident to rebuild my EA82T myself. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I now have a good reference guide. Thanks again for sharing. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
You're welcome, glad you got use of this video. I also have another video of a 1986 EA82 going though the same process, a little more in depth and has more of the part numbers and torque settings. The EA82T is a little different, it is Multiport instead of Single Port Fuel Injection. Also there are a few more ports/attachments connected to the engine. The process for that engine will be very similar besides those small differences
Exelente trabajo. Dos preguntas. Como lo sincroniza sin la marca de la tapa de la tapa de distribución?. Y ese motor dobla valvulas cuando se rompe la correa de distribución?
Gracias. You said: "Excellent job. Two questions. How do you synchronize it without the mark on the timing cover cover? And does that engine bend valves when the timing belt breaks?" To synchronize the timing without the timing belt covers, you line up the small dots on the camshaft pulleys with the inner edge of the valve covers. They just happen to be in the same place that the marks would be on the timing covers. You can see this in this video here as well as my other video with the Red 1986 GL Wagon. Basically just having the flywheel pointed in the middle of the three hashmarks -III- and having one camshaft dot pointing straight up, and one camshaft dot pointing straight down. This engine (EA82) will not bend valves when the timing belt breaks unless it breaks while in very high RPM. This is because the engine is a "non-interference" engine.
Gracias. Ya lo sincronice, lo pondré a trabajar sin las tapas a ver cómo va
@@victorHS3993 De nada
Surprised how recent this video is. I'm replacing the head gaskets on my own 93 loyale EA82 with 210k miles, what head gasket kit did you use/would recommend? I've seen all these posts about FelPro and OEM Subaru but it seems impossible to find any today
check out my other head gasket video of the red '86 wagon. it has all the part numbers from the stuff I used. did both engines last spring
Low quality sound Fix it please I love those 70 80 90 subarus Before digi teach ruined everything
old video = bad sound. maybe I'll do another video of this thing sometime soon 👍
@@creativelivingnorthwest Yep prob youtube format/system func on old videos
I have one of these... I built my own dog system based on talking to the guy who built these.... If you need some info, let me know.... I'm in North central Washington.
Very Cool. We also had to build a dog system for different sizes of wood. The smallest stuff, like in this video, was the most tricky to dog. Would appreciate any info you could give! The original "dogs" that came with this thing are shown in the first video of the mill we did, they were just small stepped dogs that slid in the channels the wood would rest on
@@creativelivingnorthwest OK, I saw the first vid. So....the square tubes welded on the side are not original and neither is the found pipe clamping system. The style I have simply slides along the slots of the cross members and are made out of trailer hitch clamps.... Low profile. Also the actual dogs are simply 1/4 by 2 inch flat bar in different lengths depending on your depth of cut. Super easy. They fit into the little slot left in the cross member track between the welds. You'll notice that there is a small bar below the slot that keeps the dog from going all the way to the ground... When I get time I can send some pictures. I made all my own parts after talking to the guy a number of years ago.
@@CS-eb9wh that sounds like a nice system you have there. We were missing all but one of the original dogs for this mill when we received it, so we had to get creative. My dad welded on the square tube and round tube system that you see in the videos. Would love to see pictures of yours if you have time!
@@creativelivingnorthwest Those stepped 👎 dogs go on the clamping side... The 1/4 by 2 by whatever length...4,6,8,10,12 go on the fixed side. You need 2 of rack length. The square tubes needs to be ground off.
Sorry for the late reply. We ended up finding some of the 1/4 by 2 fixed side posts. They were in a pile of material that came with the mill that we thought was extra scrap. My dad used them to mill some lumber, we will post that video eventually. The square tube that my dad welded on has a smaller square tube inside of it that slides up and down, so that it is adjustable, and tightens down with a set screw. When fully down it is flush with the rail that the lumber lays on, so it is mostly out of the way if we were to use the original fixed side posts. There will be some footage of these adjustable side posts that my dad made in the next video we post.
I have an 87 DL and it won’t stay on if anyone can help with some advice welcome
So it starts up... but wont stay running? Does it happen after the car warms up? Need a little bit more info on the symptoms, like how consistent the problem is. Could be losing spark, losing fuel... Carbureted engine, right? '87 was a transition year from carb to FI.
Now just crank up but don’t start and is FI some one tell me can be the air sensor
@@juliotorres1736 have you made sure that the engine is getting spark and fuel?
@@creativelivingnorthwest yes
@@juliotorres1736 is the air filter clear? Are the timing belts still intact and on correct time?
Just EJ swap it!!! I did mine and I’ve never regretted it. So easy! Probably easier than doing a head gasket lol these EA82 engines are not very well designed… and they are SPFI. Basically computer controlled carb. I drive it 110 miles a day round trip on my commute and it has been a pleasure
That may be something I'll do in the future when parts for the EA82 are no longer available. It was simple and cheap to do the headgasket on this engine. This engine is carbureted, however later models are SPFI like you say. There were also MPFI models available as well as the addition of Turbocharged MPFI models. Would love the added power of the EJ engine, however this engine is still plenty healthy for now and has enough pep to keep up with traffic
Nice video, but I don't understand why you kill and keep these large halibut. Given the consrvation issues why keep any halibut over about 75lb? I have caught many many halibut in Icy strait and I release large fish. They are often females and ofen full of worms and the fillets are too big...............
Tourist gotta have proof and some good eats.
My 1993 loyale 5spd 4wd EA82 has 346k Love that dude, I had head gaskets done when I first got it 17yrs ago at 122k, they used felpro it blew out at the water jacket with in 3yrs. I did it myself the next time and used factory oem Sub, they ironically have a tab that folds over from the ring right where the felpro blew out. Just an fyi. I replaced them over 10yrs ago no problems. Now i believe I have a valve seal failing. So I be going back in and see if I can get another 200k out of it😎♣️🏁🏴I never re-torqed as is suggested... Thanks for sharing great video and info of the prone trouble spots!
I have not re-torqued the EA82 engines either, only the EA81 engines when doing headgaskets on those. Glad you enjoyed the video
hey man, my dad has this exact same chainsaw but is struggling to find some parts of it. Something called the star gear or spur gear.. There are like two circles of plastic one has a star in the middle and the other some kind of tube. Sorry if I don't called them by their name. Do you know where can I find them?
you might have to look around on ebay. if there is a part number on the pieces you have that need replacing, plug that number into a search and see if anyone has it for sale. also, McLendon Hardware is a dealer for Stihl and can get parts for these saws
Can I install a turbo on an engine ea71?
I have seen it done on a series 1 Leone Wagon... however I'm not sure how long the engine survived after that
@@creativelivingnorthwest Well, can I change the carburetor system to a fuel injection system?
@@user-fc7hd8bf4l it is possible to change over fuel injection from a 3rd generation body that came stock with fuel injection. would just have to have the ecu, wiring, intake manifold, and throttle body/ filter and snorkel.

Hello. What was that knocking sound after start? My does it all the time and wont stop. What book r U using?
The knocking sound was the sound of the hydraulic lifters ticking. They had not yet built up pressure. The book I'm using is the Haynes Manual for 1980-1988 Subaru 1800. There are different versions of the manual, including a revision that states its for 1980-1994.
@@creativelivingnorthwest Many Many thanx. <3
@@AdamusPL87 you're welcome!
thank you so much! is incredible. For me it is very useful. Do you know how to clean and adjust the Hitachi carburetor? it would be great
you're welcome, glad the video could assist you. I have not had to adjust the carburetors on my old subarus except for sometimes adjusting the idle speed. There are many writeups online though. I would recommend using ultimatesubaru.org/forum and using a search engine to search for the tuning of the hitachi carb. (the search feature is not good on the site, best to use another search engine like google) There are also many facebook groups about old subarus with many knowledgeable people there
@@creativelivingnorthwest thank you! I have another question: why did you switch from Hitachi to Weber 32/36 DGEV. Do I need to make any important modifications to the manifold? I found it on Amazon for about $113.
@@javierencuadra so that was on the Red 1986 GL Wagon, in the other head gasket video. This White 1991 Loyale still has the fuel injection. Why I switched carburetors in the other car was because I was dealing with an issue with the car intermittently not running correctly. I thought it was carburetor related however it turned out to be distributor related! So the carburetor was switched without it really needing to be. However I still have the original Hitachi sitting on the original intake manifold ready to swap back on at any time if needed. Be careful, if it seems too cheap on Amazon it is probably a fake Weber carb. It should be about $300 for the real Weber carb through Redline. There are writeups online about the swap, however one of the main mods is to JB Weld the coolant passage that would touch the bottom of the Hitachi carb. This is why I used a spare manifold to do the swap and not my original.
👍
Surprised this vid is pretty recent?! I just bought one for 400
Yup, just did the head gasket on this wagon last summer. Nice, they are still available out there for good deals if you look hard enough. Sometimes they just need a little love

Very true, Toyota and Subaru must have been spying on each other. The backs of the Toyota Vans look just like the back of the Wagon version of this car from the same time period as well
@@creativelivingnorthwest I think they were both made by Fuji heavy industries. I remember reading that Toyota and Subaru were together with Fuji heavy industries.

@@thewiseguy3529 its funny how many cars from the time period look the same, just like they do today. Everyone sort of copies one another in styling and technology
que pasó con las tapas de protección de las correas de distribución ?
You said: "What happened to the timing belt protection covers?" They are not needed unless the vehicle is used frequently in off road or muddy situations. They are just another thing to take off or get in the way next time going in to maintain something. In later engines like the EJ series, they use plastic timing gears which will wear out fast if left exposed, so in those engines it is best to have the covers.
I'm looking into getting a 87 gl anything serious should be on the lookout for
Look for rust in the body, depending on where the car was driven and how well it was taken care of, rust can really eat the bodies of these cars. Do the typical checks of the engine and if you can test drive the car if its a runner
@@creativelivingnorthwest well didn't get it had a cracked head an something else done forgot what but sadly didn't get it 😔
@@raymeadows4383 it is pretty common to see cracks between the valves in the heads of these cars. As long as the cracks do not go too far and into the water jacket they will run fine with the cracks between the valves

Well I got the valve cover off. And the left aluminum cast that the camshaft sits in broke. Any idea where I can find a camshaft case?
That is unfortunate. The part that the actual camshaft sits in broke? I don't think I've seen that happen before. Or is it where the valve cover threads into? Depending on what part of the country you are in, these cars can be found in junkyards like Pick n Pull and the like. Or there are multiple Facebook forums for old subarus, or UltimateSubaru.org/forum where people have parts to sell
I have an 87 gl. Is it possible to replace the camshaft case on right side without lifting the engine?
It is totally doable, it just makes things a bit easier to get to with the engine out... less bending over the fender into the engine compartment. When putting the cam case back in, lift the side of the vehicle that is being worked on, so that the 4 rocker arms that touch the cam are less likely to fall off. Also assembly lube helps to hold them in place.

We did use a file to grind the surface flat and to get rid of burs. Mostly this method was to close the gap of the groove that the chain rides in.
нафига вы этой херней маетесь?
We want to use the wood to build in the future.
I like the AC delete. You just used the alternator brackets? How is it working out?
These specific brackets came from a EA82 car that came from the factory without AC. The belt used was the smaller one that would drive the AC (it was inboard of the alternator.) It works well. The same setup is in my red 1986, which is in another head gasket video on this channel. If you don't have access to the special brackets, I have seen people use all-thread and nuts to create a spacer-holder that takes the place of the AC and leaves the alternator in its stock location, you would just have to get a different length belt.
@@creativelivingnorthwest I'm in the process of doing this along with a clutch and reseal job. I'll be using the stock AC brackets but will brace them as you suggest. I'm thinking about eliminating the clutch fan too since it was not used on non-AC equipped cars anyway.
@@ellenklima1690 yup, totally do-able to use all the brackets and not have the AC pump in place. Just have to create something to fill it's place and brace the bracket there. Have seen it done before. Surprising how much the AC pump weighs! If you aren't using it or if it no longer works, can lose some dead weight and gain some efficiency by eliminating the extra drag on the engine by those needless pulleys being spun. Cleans up the engine bay and makes it easier to get to things to!
We are very excited and really like your creative ideas, made it enjoyable to watch and keep watching, hope you continue this great idea forever.
i tryed designing my own head gaskerts for that motor i got to the point were i could change a head gasket in about 15 minutes to bad i never got the gasket to work on that motor i was tryin to get more compresion out of it in the end i shaved the block and the heads i had to make a custom intake risers to make up the differance so the intake would fit damb that m otor was a beast even with the 30 inch tires that thing would out pull the impreza on 28 inch tires with the v2 2.2 motor so much torque the loyale is off road only these days due to the bodys sheet metal failing that rig is a beast with the duel range it would leave the jeeps on the dust on the trails as long as the rocks werent to big lol
The old Subarus are Beasts, love driving them. It is important to have a backup of parts or the creativity to modify!
To all the subaru fans out there, going to post here a problem with my EA82 (was pulled from a Loyle,92-93) I pulled YEARS ago, put the project on the back burner for years. this here is what I had then. (kzread.info/dash/bejne/i2ujl5ezgtG8d6w.html ) I am retired now so I started in on this project again. This project was/is for an airboat, as you can see in the above video. Brought a radiator, not OEM, but I forgot how the radiator hoses was connected to the engine. My radiator is installed On the back side (behind) the engine where the Airboat prop is used for a fan. I search the internet for how this is done. From my searching, *All radiators are hooked up TOP outlet going to thermostat, Bottom outlet is hooked to water pump.* What my engine was doing was backward from just that. So I did an experiment. My Experiment: Removed thermostat, (so no restrictions) installed hose outlet back on as normal. Installed small piece (length) of hose on it and the big line coming from water pump. None of these hose are connected to radiator. With a water garden hose, pumped water into where the thermostat sits, NO water was/would pumped out through the water pump. Then, I put the water hose into the water pump line and it immediately stated pumping water out though the thermostat. This result is BACKWARDs from my understanding!! *Can someone explain this?* Am I right<<<< wrong?\ According to Subaru, water *FLOWS* from the BOTTOM radiator outlet, TO the water pump, thru the engine, OUT the thermostat, then BACK to the TOP of the radiator.?
That is correct. The coolant comes from the radiator, flows to the lower hose and into the pump, through the engine, out the thermostat, and into the upper hose, back into the radiator.
i would find another motor one you can get parts for these have all dried up about 10 years ago i bought up all the ea82s i could find just for parts cause they stoped selling them i have enuff to keep my ea82 going for many years but good luck finding those parts today and no im not letting go of mine good luck
@@ferp420 I am NOT looking for parts! I appreciate your input, I have all parts I need. Only looking for hose placement.
@@doesntmatter3068 good cause there hard to find bottom hose goes to bottom of the engine top hose goes to the top of the engine lol 😀

hand filing doesn't make a chainsaw cut crooked, not knowing how to "hand file" a chainsaw chain is the issue, I've been hand filing my chains for 35 years and my saws cut straight
The bar was the issue. It was very worn in the groove that the chain runs through, plus the bar was bent to one side like it was hung up in a tree or two. We tuned the bar and now it cuts straight. I thought we recorded us tuning the bar however that footage may have been lost.
84 was the last good gear for Subaru...
Love the 2nd generation Subarus with the EA81. True, the wagons, sedans, and coupes stopped in 1984. However the Brat kept going until 1987, and the Hatch kept going until 1989!
@@creativelivingnorthwest my favorite was the 1978 old spaceship subi- but the 80-84 was so easy to work on, plus it was not a popular car! They could be bought cheap and easy... 85 began timing belts and the downward spiral of the last true passenger tank a poor person could buy for $1,000 and under in running condition. I never had a Brat, I'd love a GL wagon with a manual- last year a friend of mine found one in Reno with 65k miles, so they are still out there!
@@GardenerEarthGuy yup, they are still out there. A little harder to find now though. Never had a 1st generation personally, those are getting real hard to find now.

Una pregunta, como puedo calibrar valvulas? no vi en ninguna parte que lo hicieras
You said: "One question, how can I calibrate valves? I didn't see anywhere that you did it." To service the valves you would need to have a valve compressor tool while the heads are removed from the block. It would be a similar process to any other engine as far as lapping and or replacing the valves. The EA82 engine does not require valve clearance adjustment because they are hydraulic. The EA81 and EA71 engine would require the lifter arms to be gapped to specification for each valve according to the needed gapping for the exhaust and intake valves.
Congratulations on a great day fishing. God’s blessings were abundant that day.
Thanks for all your hard work! :)
You're very welcome!

Why nobody is bleeding the fish?
I have the coats 4040 I must say to you congratulations you were the first person on KZread that I have seen use the tool to tighten down the center cone I don't think you're compressor is big enough it seems like the machine is not getting enough air you have the bottom bead breaker but you don't have enough air to make it work they need to run between 120 and 150 psi when you remove a tie you put the bar at the five o'clock position that way you get a full rotation and you do the same when you're putting it back on and lastly I hope this helps when you were using the tyre valve puller screw it onto the valve it swivels for a reason once you have it tightened up swivel it around put it on the rim and push down ever so slightly and it will pull the valve up you're doing it the wrong way you're making live too hard for yourself
Very informative and straight-to-the-point video. I'll be doing my EA81T as soon as the bubbles in the radiator are flowing out more.
Glad you liked the video. The EA81 is a little different, but the father of the EA82. The EA81 uses push rods driven from a single center camshaft to time the valvetrain. Unlike the EA82, which uses timing belts to drive the two overhead camshafts.
You are correct. So hopefully it will be a bit simpler to change the head gasket. Even tho all the research I've been doing on the forums. Many say my issue is more like an intake gasket and not the head gasket. Rare to an EA81T with head gasket issues. I'll just refresh the whole engine.
@@oczuk32 We have experience intake manifold gasket issues in the past in one of our EA82 engines. Seemed like the engine was running on 3 cylinders or had a big vacuum leak. Sprayed carb cleaner around to try and find the leak while the engine was running... ended up spraying around the intake manifold gasket on one side and found that gasket to be damaged and sucking in air. Replaced the intake manifold gaskets and she was up and running like new
