Hi everyone.
Can I get some help on other things I should do while I am taking many other parts off the engine (bul not pulling the engine)?
The car is a 1999 Impreza L with just under ~100k miles.
Here's what I am doing so far:
I am pulling the intake manifold to drill out and rethread a PVC valve that sheared on me. (Sometimes I feel very unlucky with cars :( ).
I figure I will also replace the timing belt. I remember reading at sometime something about Subaru's being prone to leaking front seals and also timing belt tensioner replacement. Should I just go ahead and do those too?
My spark plug holes have oil in them, so I will remove the valve covers and replace all of those gaskets. I will also check the valve clearances while I'm in there.
What else should I do while in there? Am I missing some obvious things that just make sense to do at this point? Any advice would be much appreciated. Planning on putting my parts request in today and order some extra tools I will need so, hopefully, I can finish up over the weekend.
