Hi, I have been searching / looking for a Legacy or Outback for some time now. I want a car that fulfills most of my wishes: 1-station wagon 2-large engine 3-A/C 4-automatic plus, less important, a relatively low mileage, known service history, roof rails, leather would be nice etc. Age is not very important either, as long as the car is in good condition. Legacys are quite rare over here in Holland, especially if you want one with the above requirements! If I find one, it will have LPG installed (much cheaper to drive). But LPG has one nasty habit: on engines with solid valve lifters, it needs adjustment a lot. So I am trying to find out what engines have solid versus hydraulic valve lifters. Is the following correct? 2.2 - all hydraulic 2.5 - only 1996 hydraulic, after that solid 2.0 - all hydraulic Or can someone point me to a site where I can this kind of info on the engines? If solid lifters, is the adjustment a DIY job? I have done that very often on old english cars (Austin, Triumph, etc). I have a micrometer and know the adjustment is done by shim plates. Is it a lot of work on a boxer engine? Thanks for any help, Dion would-be owner.....
