I checked the timing belt, it might have been off. I couldn't get the marks lined up right so I just took it off and reinstalled it. I also cleaned the plugs, put some dialectic (sp) grease on them and made sure the boots were snug.

But there's still a couple things that need fixing:
1. Hear that nasty tick ?? Dunno what it is, need to figure that out.
2. In my haste I forgot to install a timing belt 'guide' . Sounds more serious than it is, but does require me to take the balancer off (which is a PITA).
3. See that Mickey Mouse Throttle cable floppin' around ? That's gotta go, I'm going with Sandeep's Home Depot Special for that one.
4. Need to install a seat....yeah, I'm pretty sure about that one.
5. Need to build a shroud around the rad.....this will take a while.
6. Got a big fat CEL, was to be expected, but when I get it in the road I'm planning on driving it to a Subaru dealer to read the codes....just for kicks


I can't believe how quiet it is... the exhaust install is only temporary and definately has to change....but for now... I'm stoked !
