Welcome to The Club! I have taken a lot of front cyls apart with a torch when grease gun method would not budge the pistons. Most cleaned up OK, those that didn't were pitted or scratched and needed to be sleeved anyway. Rear cyls. PRESS apart since they are in a line. I have all sizes of brake seal...

That Zoe Zipper is really cool, I drove Larry Cox's Zoe Zipper at one of the CA SWULC events

Melanie - just saw you are in Lancaster. My daughter in Norwich NY saw a Subaru 360 at a car show there early this summer, never met the owner but he is from Lebanon PA - she said the car was in really nice shape.

Melanie - welcome to The Club! If you need any parts just e-mail me and I can e-mail you the lists of what I have.

Welcome to The Club! Honda 600 is a 4-stroke front engine car. Subaru 360 is a 2-stroke rear engine car. So when examining a Subaru 360, if you open the front hood and find an engine, it is definitely NOT stock :D The Subaru 360 is a much simpler engine, the first time I put new pistons and cylinder...

Welcome to The Club! We've had our 360 van since Feb. '75 and I still drive it every day. It wasn't the previous owner's attempt at "customizing" that bothered me as much as his attitude toward other 360 people who were at the show in Upland. 95+% of all the questions you may ever have abo...

Welcome to The Club, Alaska Guy.

I've had one of those orange Chiltons since I first got my van 37 years ago. Then I gradually acquired all the Subaru manuals and in 1981 got permission from SOA to reprint them, at cost, for Club members only. I still have some reprints left, they are also available online (free) and on CD (at cost...

Patrick - your expertise at changing oil will go to waste, since this procedure is never needed on your 360. All you do is ADD a quart of good 2-stroke oil to the oil tank whenever the light on the dash starts blinking (about every 300 miles on average) and the engine recycles it to lubricate itself...

Thanks Steve, I almost sent him a big long answer until I read your post and looked at when he posted his want list.

Maybe want lists should expire and be deleted after a couple of years, then if the member is still a member ans still needs stuff he can post a revised one.

There is a yellow bell on the new reference section but it says I am not authorized to look at it.
