Had a brain bender last week...
1995 Legacy comes in for a large oil leak. Turns out it was
the bank 1 cam seal was blown out, not terribly uncommon...
Drove it in, tore it down, checked timing marks, removed
belt, replaced seal, yada yada yada...
The fun begins when I go to start it, sounds like it's out
of time and won't fire. Removed timing belt cover and check
timing marks - dead on.
***4 hours and numerous tests later***
Turns out the timing mark on the driver's side cam pulley
can move, resulting in a mis-timed engine and conflicting
cam/crank data to the ECM = no start/no fire. New Bank 2 Cam
pulley fixed it.
The cam pulley is a two piece part which is pressed together
at the factory.
So if you ever run into this, maybe you can save your soul,
unlike myself. (Note: attached pictures are of a GOOD
pulley. Customer took old parts, didn't get pictures before
he left) [1995 Subaru Legacy, Engine/Propulsion Photo]
