Took the damn timing cover back off, re-adjusted the timing, and it fired right up. So, to anyone else who rebuilds there own motor I would suggest following the instructions here, https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...87902-5448.pdf , as they were much more detailed than the Subaru manual. Thanks everyone for the help and advice |
Reminds me of the time back-in-the-old Army motor pool. I was the Battalion Motor Officer (among other things) and the maintenance crew had just worked on the Battalion S-4's 3/4 ton truck.
After they put it back together, it wouldn't start … not even close to starting. The S-4 was pissed. Finally, the old, crusty, motor sergeant went over watched them try to start it and barked at them … you dumb asses put the distributor back in backwards (180 degrees off). Yes, it will go into the slot two ways .. the right way and the wrong way.
They turned it around and the truck started right up.
Old sergeants are smart …
