hooziewhatsit Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 those are engine designation numbers for the old-gen cars (pre 90, or loyale). in most cases here, a certain body style is also refered to by the type of engine it contained. EA81 - OHV, uses timing chain (I think), I don't know much about them since I don't have one, typically early 80s and were carbed EA82 - OHC, uses two timing belts, non-interference engine, used mostly in later 80's cars, and loyales, mostly FI, some where carbed hope this answers a few questions you had. edit: here's a good post that outlines some of the differences. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showpost.php?p=153266&postcount=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudd Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 MY HERO!!! Thanks for the link. Do you know if you can find the EAXX designation stamped on the engine anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinsUBARU Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 EA designation is stamped on the engine. Looking down below the manifold on the passenger side by the timing belt cover is where you will find it on the newer engines. BTW, EA81 is a pushrod engine Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
