  1. Thank you for answering my question it is not a plug and play situation and not worth the time to make fit. As for the knock issue it knocks for about 3 seconds until the oil filter primes up then goes away now that might be piston slap but i doubt it. Piston slap generally is a light high pitched sound this is rather deep and very short lived. BTW this car has seen some Neglect/abuse over the years. An OE filter will most likley make it sound good enough for the owner to put through and auction as he does not want to fork out the $$$ to fix. I tried to buy from him but he wants like 2k the way it is. too much for me to have to put a rod bearing in. Again thanks for the help as far application as i did not have both motors in front of me. if anyone need any advice on forign cars i am a toyota pro and kia and hyundai master tech.
  2. Hey guys I am trying to figure this out, according to subaru and the salvage yards the 99 legacy outback awd is a single year enging application. Does anyone know what the differance is between 2000 and 1999? 99 is a legacy ob awd donor car is a 2000 legacy gt awd The 99 has a rod knock on start-up.

  4. If you want to know about the flutter, quite a few cars use the wasted spark system, and what happens is the coil starts to break down and instead of producing 90k volts they produce only 50k-70k and you do not get a clean burn. Due to the fact that the cylender needing the spark has preasure and fuel mixed in, raising the resistance between contact points on sparkplug. Mix this with the fact that power takes the 'path of least resistance', well the plug you need to fire dosen't, the other one does.
