There can be several reasons for a boil over condition. 1. low or insuffecient coolant. Anti-freeze protects from boil over too. If the level of coolant is low or does not have enough "antifreeze" in the mixture, the boiling point is lowered. 2. thermostat is not opening or not opening enough. A thermostat must be installed, however. If the thermostat is not installed the coolant circulates so fast that the radiator does not have time to remove the heat and boil over results. 3. insufficient coolant flow. Blockage from thermostat, debris in the radiator or a condition called electrolisis. This is the hard white scaley stuff that you may see inside the radiator that is the result of the coolant flowing over the different types of materials in your cooling system. Regular flushing and renewing coolant is the best prevention of this. A professional flushing or replacement of radiator may be required to fix. 4. Head gasket or cracked head. This would be a major engine mechanical failure and would require removal of cylinder heads for close inspection. Other gasket failures could also contribute to overheating by allowing air into the cooling system, thereby lowering the boiling point.

Is four wheel drive front wheel drive or rear wheel drive on the 1992 Subaru Loyale?

loyale is front wheel drive, then when you engage 4wd the power is equally distributed to all wheels. four wheel drive is ALL wheel drive, just listen to the name and count the number of wheels on your car i bet they match perfectly unless it is somehow a dually (2 wheels on each side of the rear of the truck [does not apply to cars]) which i doubt on a subaru


Is it possible to turbo a 1992 Subaru loyale?

Yes you can put a turbo 1.8 engine in a 92 Loyale, it will bolt up, but you would have to change the engine to brain box wiring harness and probably the brain box as well. The latest Subaru model with turbo is 1990 and earliest is 1985 all with multi-port fuel injection. Point to consider, the turbo engine will make more hp. but you will lose mpg. also the engine may not last as long and there is a cracking of the heads that may become a problem also.
