scatgo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Got my heads from my 99 Forester on my work bench right now. Would like to set the tappet clearance before I put the head back on but I cant find the specs. Anyone have this information? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Do you have the car? Valve clearance should be on the emissions label on the bottom of the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirelessenabled Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 When I did the HG on my 00 OBW with SOHC engine last year I had the heads rebuilt. While I had them on the bench I very carefully set the rocker to valve stem clearances. After I got the heads back on the engine the clearances were all wrong. I still don't know why the clearances would change just bolting the heads on to the engine but that was my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 almost positive it's .008 intake and 0.010 exhaust google it? all 00-04 EJ25's will be the same as your 99 SOHC Phase II EJ25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
