Good News!

My engine parts are no longer available.  I think I
will keep them right where they are.  Mark Keller
suggested that I start my engine back up and listen a
little closer to where the racket was coming from.  He
suspected the lifters.  I started it up, and after
warming up it was a lot quieter.  I took it around the
block, then down the highway.  My newly installed VDO
gauge shows 35psi at around 2600 rpm.  I had to
install a relay to change the sender normally open
output to a normally closed output that matches the VW
.9 bar sensor.  (i.e. the switch is off if the oil
pressure is correct).

So, my conversion to Subaru power is post-poned.  I
must confess, I was psyched about a 50% increase in
horsepower.

For those of you contemplating the switch, Eurasian
Auto, Englewood, Colorado, has a '94 Legacy engine
with only 73,00o miles, with the wiring harness
pulled, sitting on a pallet for shipping.
Their number is (800)944-3215.

Tell Dave you got the info from the list.  I already
paid for the labor to remove the wiring harness and
palletize the engine!
