Shouldnt be hard, it would help if you had the car up on stands or ramps. Take off the plastic splash gaurd under the engine (6 bolts under the car and 1 in each front guard) and you've got easy access to the 3 nuts on each head. Then undo the end of the header and bingo. They are heavy so having so...

I never thought of that Gannon! makes sense My box didn't have that flat inspection plate on top of the rear section like in Jakes thread. Is this to do with the dual ...

So thanks to my Gf's dad buying a 4 post hoist, this job was pretty easy :mrgreen: So i now have a box stairing at me with nea...

I've got a MY99 BE Liberty with the SOHC ej25 and its a great car. A bit more room than an impreza, and it can tow anything upto a camper trailer fully loaded. If your gonna stick to NA its a great choice. Runs like its on rails :D

Turbo on the fa20? With a compression ratio of 12.x this wouldnt happen without engine work. Maybe an ej swap. I know the huge horspower d1 car they built for next years season didnt have the fa in it
