    Q:
    What is the process for measuring the oil clearance using Plastigage, and what should be checked afterward for the 2009 Subaru Impreza? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Apply a length of Plastigage to the crankshaft journal, just off-center. Install the connecting rod cap in place without turning the connecting rod on the journal. Make sure the mating mark on the cap matches the mark on the connecting rod. Afterward, examine the Plastigage width and compare it to the scale on the Plastigage package to determine the connecting rod oil clearance.

    Q:
    How should you remove the connecting rods for the 2005 Subaru Impreza? Posted by Customer
    A:
    To remove the connecting rods, you should loosen the cap nuts or bolts on one connecting rod in three steps. Then, carefully lift off the cap and bearing insert, and remove the connecting rod and remaining bearing insert from the crankshaft journal. It is important to temporarily reassemble the connecting rod, bearing, and cap to prevent mixing up the parts.

    Q:
    How is Plastigage used in the installation process for the 2005 Subaru Legacy? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Apply a length of Plastigage to the crankshaft journal, just off center. Gently install the connecting rod cap in place without turning the connecting rod on the journal. Ensure the mating mark on the cap is on the same side as the mark on the connecting rod. Lubricate the threads of the connecting rod nuts or bolts and tighten them to the torque.

    Q:
    What should be done after ensuring that all connecting rod clearances are within specifications for the 1996 Subaru Outback? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Lubricate both halves of the bearings of connecting rod number 1 with moly-based assembly lube and install the connecting rod nuts or bolts. Tighten them in three steps. Repeat this procedure for the remaining connecting rods. Do not mix up the connecting rods and caps, and do not install the connecting rods backward. After installation, rotate the connecting rods by hand and check for any obvious binding. As a final step, recheck the connecting rod side clearance.

    Q:
    What should you do if the rods and caps are not numbered for the 1997 Subaru Outback? Posted by Customer
    A:
    If the rods and caps are not numbered, you should carefully mark the connecting rods and caps so that they can be reinstalled in the same position on the same crankshaft journal. One common method is to mark the connecting rod and cap at the front of the crankshaft with one dot, the second connecting rod and cap with two dots, and so on.
