Another question. Got the engine in and fired it up. Have a strange sound when I rev it up. Is there an easy way to check if I have an exhaust header leak? Thanks, Kevin

Thanks guys, After looking at your suggestions I may try to use a rubber plug that twists down the first time until I make certain this engine is solid. I hate to put in a lot of work until I hear it run. I appreciate you help on this. This is my first engine swap and I do not want to take it out twice to get it right. Kevin

Ok, thanks. I got the engine in and am swapping what parts I can from the ej25. Switched the throttle body and several hoses that were rotten on the ej22. When I went to drained the old oil out of the ej22 I found that the threads on the pan for the drain plug were stripped. The question is, can I swap the pan and oil stick tube between the engines? Or is there a way to fix the M20 thread on the existing ej22 pan? Kevin

Thanks everyone. I plan to make the swap this weekend. Will let you know how it goes. One other question, I hear there is some changes you have to make with the vapor canister and vacuum hoses. Can you provide some instructions for that? Kevin

Thanks for the feedback. The old ej25 is a DOHC, but the replacement ej22 is only a SOHC. How do I tell if either is a dual port exhaust? Thank you, Kevin

Hello, I am putting a 1995 ej22 into a 1997 Outback that has a bad ej25 engine. My question is that the ej22 did not come with a set of exhaust manifolds. Will the exhaust manifolds from the ej25 fit the ej22 ? Thanks, Kevin
