To Fairtax4me - thankyou for your advice in this respect. Spitfire.

To General disorder - Further to my last thread, I think I might have found some good photos depicting the 3 wire harness connectors, near to the bell housing on a legacy that you refer to: http://beergarage.com/SubyHoist.aspx at labels 19 and 20.

To General Disorder - thanks for that clarification about the adjustment of the tappets etc. Further to your previous thread - Please can you point me to a photo/diagram showing the position you describe on a Legacy - depicting the "three wire harness connectors at the upper right of the bell housing instead of two wires" which I can use in practice, as means of indentifying a 95 spec vehicle (with roller rockers as part of it) as opposed to a pre 95 vehicle, with just the two wires (tappet style rockers). Thankyou. Specifically where can I find this to check ? I live in the uk and sometimes things are back to front (with drivers side being opposite to US) hence why a picture sometimes helps.

To Fairtax4me - referrring to the photogaphs of the ej22 heads you sent across, I can see the differences between the 2 types you refer to - it looks to me that the roller type is adjustable on top end nut of each rocker arm (shown clearly) but not so in respect of the tappet type - am I correct ? Is the adjustment nut for this type located underneath the rocker arm in this case or is it a fixed arrangement with no adjustment possible ?

Thankyou to the last 2 people for explaining this to me

To Woods Wagon - I read with interest your reply to this thread on 08-06-2011. Recently I have been looking to identify with photographs/descriptive matter the differences you describe between the earlier phase 1 ej22 with sliding rocker cams and the later phase 1 with roller rocker cams. I cant find any diagrams/photographs depicting this or comment as to which is best and why. Also do these variations in the cams mean that there were different components around these to accomodate these parts - or were they interchangeable. Were the earlier designs unreliable or something. Can you spot these differences on an engine in the car or is it just the case that it is based on year/model. Thankyou for your input.

To Woods Wagon - I'm new to this forum but I have placed a reply in connection with one of your earlier threads "What is the best year for a 2.2" which I would like you to comment on if at all possible Thankyou.
