ok so my buddy i got the heads off of explained to me why the pulleys are different, with that said i took them off and sure enough.. the rear is different which the sensor reads. 2.5L on the left and 2.2L on the right poor girl till waiting..

no i didnt.. i used 2.5's why would it make a difference ? they are 2.5 heads..

ok so i got my 2.2l back in my impreza all hooked up and running, but not very good.. cylinders 2 and 3 are not firing but has 150psi gets fuel and spark

ok, now that i have gotten work done to my impreza its time to share what i have found out.. it was indeed a bad valvem the rear main was leaking as well i niw have fixed the rear main seal.. i yet have to wait for the new headgaskets Leaking Seal: New Seal: Head with Bad Valve: 2.5L Heads: yet to installed 2.5 heads i am waiting on the headgaskets to arrive.

ok, thanks for the suggestions, i will runthrough them and hopefully find the culprit. when driving he's ok.

new problem with my loale very odd idle have a listen in this video

ok, well great... i guess i will find out when i get them..

ok, i might get a set for $100 from a friend.. intake is different ? i know header would be and i have a stainless in the garage...

ok, now i am confused, Justin from Facebook sais the heads are nowhere near identical and sais the heads will cause a powerloss.. and i'd have to use EJ22 gaskets (kinda obvious) Quote: I wouldnt.... the bore of the 22 will leave a sharp edge that will stick out into the combustion chamber and collect carbon that will eventually hotspot and cause detonation. You'll also lower the compression (not something you want to do on an engine that's gutless down low to begin with)

ok cool and i would still have the same power ? or more ?

what model and year has phase 2 ? the impreza rs 2.5L ?

well if i change the head i'd like to do both and make her a dual port, is their dual port heads i can install on my EJ222 ?

after testing and checking timing, i am convinced its the valve.. put air into cylinder 1 and the air came out the exhaust just as fast as it went in.. so i need valves, another question is the EJ222 a 16 valve ? i need 2 intake and 2 exhaust valves ?

Hey Guys & Gals i recently got a 2001 impreza L Wagon AWD.2.2L Automatic 316,065 miles when bought, she has an issue running, cylinder 1 doesnt fire, previous owner said he bought it that way and has driven it for a year. i paid $250 for it and inspected till december, i would like to get her running properly father thinks its a burnt or bent valve.. because i get 30 psi 60 at best cylinder 3 gets 150psi runs on the same cam.. i was also told timing could do this as well, just a few teeth off can cause it.. what do you guys think ? EDIT:

i want to install bigger rimson my loyale, but i do not want to go with a heavy rim.. 16"s or 17"s how wide can i go for a lightweight rim ? 6x5.5 lug

some more work done to scubie New Blue Headlight bulbs 8000K Extreme Blue as you can see the passenger is thenew blue bulb, driver is stock halogen. here is a close up of the extreme blue night pictures of the headlights (extreme Blue) New Brake Line hoses, later found the real problem Some New Hatch supports works great now stay tuned for more repairs and mods on Scubie

wow Nice! so wish i had a brat

Updates i havent posted.. Pressure washed the carpet, turned out good, to bad driver's floor has hole in it Chrome Lug Nuts installed new hood prop cable

Engine re installed, no overheating (knock on wood) XT6 Flywheel Clutch & Pressure plate installed.. (flywheel is about 10lbs lighter) clutch is much stiffer (makes me very happy )

more work done.. New HeadGaskets (50lb Tq) Engine Bay Cleaned up, and engine clean up Engine: Bay Before: Bay After:

Cleaned off the Cylinders, had lots of carbon Build up.. took me awhile to clean them up this good.

its alright to reinstall them ? i was just gonna do the gaskets till i seen the crack... as long as its okto reinstall them, i suppose i could..

Pulled the heads and well... Crack between the valves, on 3 sylinders

i'd love to install an ej22 but costs so much to make it all work i dont have that kind of money yet, i plan on ej swapping but it will take a long time.. i already have a stainless uel header that i have atleast...lol

no we dont have emissions tests here, i do have a glasspack on at the end of the stock exhaust system. as formaking own Y pipe i dont have the skill nor do i have pipe bending tool. i might knock out the small converter to make it louder.. EDIT: and its out, saoking in kerosene to clean up all that grease, grime and well you know wha else...lol Kerosene soaked well gonna install XT6 clutch, and maybe shave the heads for more power... what are your guy's thought on shaving the heads?
