So this is going to be my first Major Maintainence for my SOHC motor. Figure with 155,xxx miles, I might as well do it now before school starts again in August. I've pretty much did as much research as I can about it, kind of nervous due to me messing up and bending my valves. I've talked to a few including shaggy and it's not hard/scary as people make it out to be. But if someone whom done it could just shadow me be great. Anyone want to help? Probably next week when all my parts come in. LMK


AROHA

 

I was super nervous when I did mines a cpl weeks ago. So I know what u mean. But after it's all said and done it's not hard at all. Actually it was pretty easy. Now doing a DOHC is another story but our SOHC is simple. Remember there will be compression fighting u when u do the 2 turns to make sure all the tick markers line up. Depending on when u do it I should be able to stop by. Just depends on work and if my wife gives birth.

 

I'll help you out if I am not to busy swapping my own parts out. I am changing motor mounts, headers, uppipe, lateral links and cutting bumper to clear my front mount.

 

Just LMK then when its good for you guys Shaggy & Daniel

 

Im down to help..Me and daniel did his and mines..Its not that hard..

 

Im down to come and help if im free. Ive never done it before, but i was also looking to do mine. so i can take some notes! haha

 

shoots , whatevers, no matter to me!

Jared, was I suppose to call you for something? Reason why I ask is because when I was selling my books back at LCC, I found a reminder note saying I need to call you. Do you mind if you could refresh my memory? My bad if I screwd up,didnt mean too.

 

Hit me up if anything. You got my number. In the words of Craige " Hey Walter , all right!!". Lol

 

me too me too, I like come and can someone help me with mines as well... cheeeeeeeeeeee!

 

Quiya Nino, I know it might be late but Ill give you a call tomorrow. The nursing home business still going on? Wow, I cant imagine Quiya Nino Saying Chee! lol

Daniel, Ill have to call you to ask you something, tomorrow though

 

I hate when noobs ask for help. Do you even come out to meets? Lmao stranger

 

^^^pardon my noobness, but I'm clueless!!

 

hey walter-
sorry, was reading this thread...and was curious....cause you said it was your first major maintenance and your motor is at 155,xxx......was this the first time youve ever changed your timing belt? i was so paranoid when i picked up my wrx with 107,xxx and it was never changed, that i didnt really drive it much till i changed it (im super paranoid-didnt want to snap).

 

walter give me a call if you need help with your timing belt. i've done a few DOHC

 

Fml, work and school related stuff owns me and on my only day to myself,I just do nothing!! Pls someone motivate me to change it. I guess being dropped off is making me too spoiled yo drive!!

I'll text u.do you even still have free time with your busy schedule?
