Subi3k85

It was matched with the cover, we have had the tensioner out. At this point the engine is out again we are gonna drop the 1.8 back in for now and break apart the engine completely this time I will post an update if we see anything suspicious. Thank you all VERY much for your input this is definitely the best forum for subaru iv been on so far you guys rock .

We have never heard the engine run. We did however use the hash marks on the cam gears as well as the mark on the crank gear, they were all lined up with the 3 white lines on the timing belt. Is it possible the cam gear on the driverside(side with bad compression) could have come loose?

Possibly a backfire it blows a burst of air back through the air filter but also the sound comes from below the block. We are using aftermarket headers so the sound might be resonating through the exhaust.

Throttle was not open, we do have fuel and we do have spark, it sounds like its firing on a couple of cylinders and pops occasionally. Sometimes it blows air out of the intake.

I am pretty sure they are the same so there shouldn't be an issue. Did the CTS get hooked up? Is it good? Try unplugging it for full rich start. CTS? cam timing sensor or crank timing sensor?

the 95 is obd1. We have blocked off the EGR as well. As far as the psi goes for the compression it was a rental from Autozone its acurracy is unknown but its consistency is good.

So far my friend and i have taken a 93 EJ22 and dropped it into his 95 impreza outback. We put the intake manifold from the ej18 on to the ej22 made sure all the plugs were plugged in and hoses connected, we checked and redid the timing MANY times, and we also checked the fuel injectors.... It wont start. The last thing we did was a compression test, Passenger side:100psi for both, Driver side:70psi. would this actually stop it from starting? (was already advised about hashes vs arrows on the cam gears this is not the issue)
