Either that or Chinese. from places like Detroit Axle.

Keep everything. The 25D headbolts are a different length than the 2.2. Also the mounting point and the dip stick length are different. The ect may be different and depending on the year may be in a different location on the crossover pipe (ie: front or back). More power to you

I hear you. For awhile I went the other way. 2.2 block with 25D heads as noted by DOHC22E. Dohc ej22e - Second Generation Legacy (1994 - 1998) - LegacyGT.com Fun, but sadly non engine issues killed it.

once the bolts are removed they'll come right up. Watch the torque on install if you want to keep the heads. They are INCH pounds not foot lbs. O.

tiresize.com/ comparison According to this site the diameter is 1.8" larger. The width being the same , you should have room to clear the perch. Check

Check your ball joints.

you are going to have a problem with your differentials eventually. The computer will see the wheels rotating at different speeds and try to correct the imbalance. the center differential will suffer. AWD systems in general should not be run intentionally with different tire sizes.

Check compression. Sounds like rings to me. What is your oil consumption?

check cars101.com O.

Did someone remove the radio? The vent housing may not have been reinstalled correctly.

When is the last time you tried to pull a cam sensor that has been in there a while? Not hating just asking. They tend to be seized. Insofar as where, i have tried to stay with Aisin metal parts , Misuboshi belts are good but its hard to find them in a kit. Do you have the one or two piece tensioner? You can change the two to a one by replacing the mounting bracket, but if it is good leave it. O.

How can you see the crank mark w/o removing the cover?

You will have to check to see if all the timing marks still line up. If not, redo and when you take the belt off, check to make sure there is no slop with the crank keyway.

AFAIK. There is a diameter std of being within 5/32 circumference of the tires. Mixing of tire tread patterns will have some effect on tracking, but again AFAIK not detrimental to the differential. I am sure someone will chime in, but I pray it is with empirical data. Not heresay. O.

Needle nose pliers should work w/o removing anything. That picture only shows the source of one hose, There is one more from the bypass tube from the water pump that sits alongside the crossover, The tubes have a tendency to rust at the bends. http://static.opposedforces.com/epc_img/371494803501.pngSee: Subaru IMPREZA — Subaru parts catalog (opposedforces.com)

Update. Looked at everything with the Maxisys. No change. Am getting ready for a trip so I wanted to put my BT Kenwood in until I get my car. Turned the key to set the functions. NO clicks!. Tried it again, no clicks. Don't know the whys or wherefores, but I am a happy camper. The Subaru radio has an Aux jack and a ground lug. Everything goes through the connector on the Kenwood.

Jack that side up as high as your stand will allow. Clean the area, use an old blanket to lay on. Use flashlight and have someone start the car. Watch your face! The 97 Outback has the EJ25D DOHC engine unless someone swapped it with an EJ22.

08 Impreza NA 2.5 MT Replaced Right cylinder head in NC. Drove back to NY State, with no issues, other than vibration at certain speeds. Was ball joints. Both pinch bolt heads broke off and had to drill them out. Once replaced, got P0500. ABS sensor. Friend has MAXISYS scanner and was able to go into the brake modules. Replaced both left and right abs sensors, in addition to the driver side axle. Codes gone, but I now have what seems to be a relay clicking. When the engine is turned to start, after about 5 seconds there is a sound that seems to be coming from the radio area. I get 4 cycles lasting about 1 1/2 seconds each. Even if I turn the switch off, after the sequence starts it will continue to the end. Removed radio and the temp control unit, but still cannot locate the source. Looking under the dash area, there are no relays there. As close as I can tell , the vibration is near the firewall. Nothing in the engine bay in that area. Will add a video as soon as I can, in the midst of replacing a phone. Suggestions???

Looks good. Glad to know the carbine brass works if that should happen. I know you are happiy with the three cats and 5 O2 sensors.3

Went back over every detail and found that there were two teeth missing from the crank sprocket. Replaced and starts right up. Will test drive tomorrow.

History I have rebuilt and swapped about a dozen EJ engines since 2004. Currently have a 2008 NA impreza that has me stumped. Bought with busted block last year. Replaced short block, but alas in February the bearings started to go. Got another block from a 2001 Legacy. Of course my heads, manifold and crank. Also the 9mm oil pump with the crank sensor from the last iteration. Issue. It won't start!! It has fuel, it has air and I am triple checking the spark. I have voltage to the coil. Thought it might be a ground issue. But other than the usual, plus a few i added to the heads. It's grounded. Did the timing over, just because, but no change. Sometimes the `simplest answer is the right one, but it escapes me. Where to next?

EJ_cr_matrix (1) (1).pdfEJ_cr_matrix (1) (1).pdf Maybe this?

Get the front end off the ground and holding at the sides, then on the verticals, see if you have play. Check the ball joints by prying between the A arm and the knuckle. Make sure all your lug nuts are tight. Double check the axle nut. O.
