    Alright guys...the diesel in the oil trick isn't working to help out the miss in the Subaru, and I don't have the skill, or desire to put money into it, to fix it.

    Couple of options....

    1. attempt to sell both of the subaru's I have, would probably take a loss overall on how much I've spent simply because the white one runs worse than when I bought it...but I'm willing to take a loss..

    2. part both cars out. lots of work but might be able to get all my money back.

    suggestions? I really just want to get away from these so I can buy a more reliable backup vehicle...

    You could just give one of them to me. You shouldn't spend anymore of your time on this :D

    You'd probably make more money parting out but that is definitely a pain. I'd list them for sale and try to recover my cash and then some

    Good engine, but a snail.. the current engines aren't bad, the 3.8 was doodoo tho. The 3.6 wasn't too bad in the 4 door Rubicon running 33s. That's the newest one ice driven a friend had for 40k miles

    Lego Land is awesome! We went about a year ago and had a blast. They have a pass that you can order that allows you to skip lines and go straight to the front. They only sale so many each day. It is not like the fast pass you get at Disney! You enter through the exit and get right on. It was awesome!!!!! Most of the time if you wanted to go again they let you stay on the ride. Also, would suggest Discovery Cove if you've never been. It's awesome too!

    It was good! Looking forward to next week when we get to see some action. LOL! He did tell us about the squeaking. Below is our tower! I think we won. The other team was taller but it fell over. Is that a win by default? LOL!

    You have probably checked everything but have you done a compression check? Is the engine burning oil? Valve issues?

    Compression checked out fine. Not burning oil.

    The issue with the white car is the valve guide in Cylinder 4, it occasionally sticks and causes a miss. Tried to run some diesel fuel in the oil to help clean some of the carbon buildup and hope that helps the valve guide, but to no avail. Only other solution my mechanic gave was basically have head work done.
