The 79mm is not the length of the rod, but the stroke. All 2.5 engines have a stroke of 79mm and a bore of 99mm.Measured from center of king pin to center of shaft at either tdc or bdc.. That's how they get the total volume of 2498cc Piston design (placement of king pin) effects stroke. So if the piston centers are different the rod will be different to make the CR the same The cam qty does not change that. Only the deck height.

Just clean it, its there. That's the power steering line in the pic The pistons may be a different shape, but all the 2.5 cranks ( other that the ej25D , have 52mm journals) with thrust on #5. The rod length is the same also (79mm) IIRC. look at the FSM on the specs page. The answer to your questions are yes. The blocks are the same. Use the old heads. O.

Yes the crank is the same. O.

Pull the crank and have it checked. If its a bottom end knock then more than likely a rod bearing is gone, so will damage the crank. If salvageable use it with the 01 pistons and a rod to replace the broken one. The 01 block has to be cleaned thoroughly to make sure there are no metal pieces lurking in the oil passages. Change the piston rings, rod and crank bearings, and all timing components( getting quality components. Gates is no longer a reliable mfg) Download FSN here:Index of /Auto/Japan/Subaru (jdmfsm.info) O.

This may help; O. EJ_cr_matrix (1) (3).pdf

For future reference. opposedforces.com/parts The 93- 98/9 uses the same assembly. Better off pulling one from salvage car, O.

2 2x4's across two rafters will work, or even a 4x4 as close to where there is a truss as possible. They don't have to be much longer than the span they have to cross. If you can, secure the ends to the joists. The weight will be where the pulley is, so the length won't matter. Don't even remember the quantity of engines I lifted with just a chain through my house garage ceiling and a come a long. Just don't try to do an engine and tranny in one piece!!!!

Look here: USDM Forester FSM 1998 (mediafire.com) O.

The brown is the neutral position switch. Separate at the top of the tranny the resistance of the switch should be more than 1Mohm. O.

The head and exhaust are modified EZ30 units. The big problem is that the EJ259 had 3 cats and 5 O2 sensors! O.

When you say case bolts, are you referring to the head bolts or the bolts that secure the two halves together? AFAIK all the NA 2.2 bolts are the same. O.

The 96 2.2 is non interference. If the OP doesn't know how to fill and properly burp the system, it will continue to overheat. Do search for burping the system. If you can get it pressure tested, that will determine the source of the leak, but from what you've said it again leads to the radiator. With this mileage, you might as well replace the hose from the water pump that feeds the water bypass pipe (the pipe that feeds the throttle body). O.

Craftsman had a stud extractor like Irwin. The current Irwin reg set doesn't have an extractor for the 10mm tho, O

look here: http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/Legacy_Outback/ O.

RockAuto lists different KYB units for rear struts. O.

if they mounted, you put put them on right. If not the slide pins would've been on the outside and they couldn't mount. O.

The preferred replacement is the Subaru HG intended for the turbo motors, they are MLS. The Fel Pro, Six Star and Cometic MLS units are all good. Head prep is essential either DIY or machine shop. O.

NGK or Bosch/. O.

aren't you going to change it? .

This should help. https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1265631 O.

check the elbow hose that goes from the pump to the water bypass pipe that feeds the throttle body. O.

Scratching my head here. Try changing the coolant temp sensor .. O.
