The timing is correct I went through it achecked everything several times. It is not the timing. It has to be something else. When we put the timing light on the car we got no light when trying to start it which means you have no spark coming through your wires. This is wear my problem lies. I just don't know where else I need to check

Anybody?

Ok I need a little bit of help again. We got the engines swapped out and everything is hooked up. But the engine will not start. It will turn over when you turn the key but will not start. I can smell gas so I know its getting fuel but it seems like there is no spark. I have replaced the spark plugs HGK's so I know thats not the problem. My plug wires seem to be fine as well. So could it be a fuse or something else? Give me some of your ideas to check when I get home tonight. Thanks

Cool I'm sure I'll figure it out once I get the EJ25 out

Ok so I finally got my engine and I'm getting ready to put it in this weekend. I have replaced the timing belt, pulleys, water pump new head gaskets, valve cover gaskets. My question is I'm now getting all my fluids and I was going to pick up what I thought was just a single serpentine belt for the car to run the a/c and all the other accessories that just bolt on to this engine. The guys at Autozone don't always have right info so my question is. I have a 97 2.2 I am putting into the car (not the one pictured on the last page) how do those belts work? I ask this because my 2.5 has a tensioner pulley on the front of the engine to right of the main pulley. The 2.2 just has the main Pulley so how do I adjust tension and all of that? Has anyone ran into this before in switching from 2.5 to 2.2?

yea he is going to get me the header and everything its not currently on the engine but he is going to take it out of the car that the engine came out of. and throw it in with it.

ok so the 97 has the egr the manifold:headbang: It did come from an automatic but that shouldn't be to big of a deal. I am going to pick it up tomorrow and probably try and put it in the next weekend. I will keep everyone updated on the process. But after I get put in we celebrate.

And thanks for all your help you all have saved me some time and probably a lot of money.

Ok I will check and make sure this guy has the manifold for the 2.2 out a 97 I found. $350 and he is delivering it to my house. That is if he has the manifold

Also the 96 2.2 on there from berea I believe I know the guy that is selling it I almost bought but didn't because I was told that a 2.2 wouldn't work in my car at the time. He was giving me a way better deal so I may try and call him today and see if that is the same engine.

I saw there was a 95 in MT sterling as well but it says one of the heads is busted. I'm not sure what kind of work that would entail

Yea KY doesn't have any Emissions test so its really not a big deal. But I am going to look at those other engines.

Thanks grossgary did you find those on car-parts.com? I will be calling some people today I guess. Woo!

Yea that would have been nice. Thanks for all the info guys I might have located another engine around here so I will getsome pictures of it and see what we have there.

Thanks for the offer but I'm getting this engine pretty cheap and my car is in great shape. And I'll see if I can get pictures of the bottom.

???

If an engine has two holes on each side it is dual port correct? I think this is going to continue to confuse me talking to this guy until I just go out and look at the engine he has sent me pics but I can't tell from the pics what all is going on. I may try and post them here and see if anyone can tell me anything.

Ok so the guy doesn't have the manifold for this engine. He seems to think I use the my engine head I can use the manifold off my 2.5. Is this true? APIA? What should I do Subaru knowledge gods?

Does anyone know if there are any forum post where it shows someone switching out a 2.5 for a 2.2?

If anyone has any tips on installing the engine or potential problems I may need to be aware of before hand feel free to send them my way. Thanks guys (or possibly gals)

Thanks this is what I needed to know. I'm pretty sure I can have this thing running again in a couple weeks

I also don't have to worry about inspections in KY so thats always nice. But any help you all could give me on the above comment would help thanks

You guys are awesome thanks for the quick replies. Are there any numbers on the engine I can look at to tell what year and liter the engine is so I know what I am looking at. Thanks

ok so I need to take the ps and ac off my old engine co rrect?

Ok so I have a 97 Outback and threw a rod in the engine WOO! Anyways it currently has a 2.5 in it with manual trans. so I am looking to swap the engine. I have found a 95 or 96 engine the guy selling it isn't 100% sure. He tells me it is a 2.5. The question I really have is will it match up? I'm pretty sure my current engine is Dual cam and I know the engine I am looking to buy is a single cam. I don't know what all I would need to do in order to make those line up or if it is even possible. I guess the other thing I need to know is if my engine is dual or single cam? Any help you all can give would be great. And try and keep it in dumb terms I'm am new to these cars and engine swaps on post 64 year vehicles. Thanks
