There is no real need to replace the springs and retainers unless you have a block with more than 300k on it.. They will do whatever you need, even with a torque grind cam from Delta. O.

If you are just replacing the cams, all you'll need are new cam seals, sealant and assembly lube Probably valve cover gaskets and maybe new grommets for the vc bolts. If you are dismantling the valve train then add valve lapping materials. An accurate torque wrench as the cam bolts are very low torque. Patience O.

Many videos etc on youtube. In the NewGen stcky above there is reference to T belt how to's. The fifth seal is for the crank. Remove oil pump , check and retighten screws on back. Will need a new o ring. Do not use the paper gasket for the water pump. Generally the original metal can be reused. If not, oem. Take your time O. T belt sohc.pdf

Get the codes read then report back. O.

Regrets. I somehow missed that this was for a 99. O.

clean your iac thoroughly and make sure you don't have any loose connections or cracks in the hose to iac. O.

Correction: It's not that the incompletes won't show ready, but every time you turn the ignition off, it starts all over again. A software glitch that has resulted in the exemption. O.

Oil separator plate. Cost @ 38-40 including the screws that are needed. Have read somewhere that a 3rd party now also makes it. Dealers don't have shipping charges. O.

you'll have to find a place that's a little warmer somehow. The JB won't cure properly in freezing temps either. O.

For what POR costs, he can get a junkyard pan. If you have to JB it, to make it work, best is to remove pan (which will require jacking the engine up to get the last few bolts), completely clean it, wire wheel the area then jb it. Otherwise, just drain the oil first, wire wheel it, spray with carb cleaner to remove any grease, then JB. O.

Make sure the total length of the spliced wires are close. There have been two different styles of connectors on the knock sensor tho. O

It was the original HG material. E bay HG kits are trash. No form a gasket. Yes on reusing head bolts. Hopefully you still have the oem units. If not....... O.

The car and ecm is a 96. Outback. The engine is a 96 EJ22. O.

No need to repin. The 95 ej22 is compatible with ej25d ecu's from 96-98. I "assume" the 96 was omitted because its map is slightly different as it was the first year of the EJDOHC which ran on premium fuel. I have not heard of any people who have swapped and find that mpg is an issue. In fact I have a 96 swapped OB and it gets 25 mpg highway. You will get the higher rev limit no matter what. O.

According to tire calculator :they will be .9/10 of an inch taller. You will have to see if you fender room. www.rimsntires.com//specspro.jsp O.

Headers without mods like cams on an NA engine are not worth the expense. O.

^+! Drain and fill block from upper radiator hose first. Then do the rest. With the EJ thermostats on the bottom of the block filling from the radiator will not allow enough coolant to pass into the block via the jiggle valve. (another reason to use oem here or Stant's Xactstat) Leave radiator cap off overnight to allow trapped air to percolate up. Sometimes it is a real pita. O.

can't offer much re led's. Check your coolant level and do the burp procedure again. Sounds like trapped air. O.

I'd run the math and see how much your CR is changed with the .046 difference. If the changes are acceptable to you, then go for it. The skirt length will tend to be noisier until warmed up. Why did you not just get another block? ? what is the end desire for your build? O.

Once twisted the circuit is always complete. It will work regularly whenever the battery is disconnected again. I replaced the toggle switch on a 98 Impreza, but the female driver had to move her seat up all the way, constantly hitting the switch. I just twisted the ends and removed the toggle. No more problems in this area. O.

This happens a lot with pre 2000 Subys when the battery is disconnected. Either replace button or twist ends to make constant contact. It is disconcerting when you're driving and the door locks start cycling! O.

Oops. My error. O.

when the speedo stops working you will get a code for the tranny lockup. The computer relies on the speedo signal to control the tranny. Fix or replace the speedo. O.

^+1. Std gear oil is fine. You don't want the limited slip type. O.

Try a search for speedometer. Many times it is a ground wire that breaks on the circuit board. It shows where to look and fix, if that is the issue. O.
