Cool, thanks. Off the shelf is there only 1 thickness or do you have to tell them how thick? Not sure with a 2001 2.5 and 1996 single port heads?
What did you decide on the harness?

I have had 0 issues on mine with the Cometic "hybrid" head gaskets. I had the heads decked and simply cleaned up the mating surface on the block. You have to follow the stock torque pattern for the 2.2 heads to the letter.

I was wondering if you had any head gasket advise for a 2001 2.5 block with 1996 2.2 heads. Not sure if I should modify the stock thin mls gasket or go with Cometics. If cometics how thick? I did have problems getting a set of Cometics to seal on a different application once. I also have heard if the blocks and heads are not machined that the Cometic have problems sealing.
Got any advise?
Thanks Jeff

You picked the best year(95) for the conversion. The 95 I can get it down to 1 pending code on the 2D ECM. The neutral safety pending code does not turn on the check engine light. All connections are soldered and double shrink wrapped and taped. I also wire it for A/C, speed sensor and cruise control(xtra speed sensor wire) $400 for your harness to be modified. Since I do this as a passion I would say I spend more time on it than someone that does it for a job. Let me know, Jeff

It's an 85 Weekender with a 95 EJ22 and a beefed up automatic. I used the Smallcar kit and am 1 of many that has a cracked exhaust manifold in less than a year. I would recommend the Rocky Mountain Westy kit. I make my own harnesses and have done conversions for others. Here is a link for my test stand.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Hi to all!! I have owned a dozen on Subarus and have a 95 Wagon as my daily driver, 85 Vanagon with a 95 EJ22 and a 90 Vanagon with a ALH TDI. I am a regular on The Samba and a member or lurker on most of the Subaru boards. Thanks Jeff
