Just want to give a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who posted. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! Now i finally know what I need and lets hope this year is better then end of last year. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!

100% positive its in timing. I did it 3 times and then paid someone who has been working on them for years to stop by and time it and we did the rotate it around 2 times and all the marks lined right back up. You are right it did have a 2.5 in it but before the guy bought it who I bought it from the engine was replaced with the eg22 and I would rather the eg22 back in it.so just to make sure for sure. You are saying that I can use any eg22 from 95 to 99 has long as they have the EGR. I keep seeing other post on the net saying that in 99 they changed some things and i should only use a 1999 engine. Thats why i'm so confused!!! I have only put not even 100 miles on the car when all this happened so of course I will transfer all my new parts but i'm on a fixed income and really really wanna make sure I'm buying a engine that will 100% will fit. On top of all that we were down to only one car and my wife yesterday had to run to the store and totaled our only running car in the snow. But thank god she is fine. but now have 2 cars that wont run . Thank you for helping me !!!

HI IN NEED OF HELP!! I have a 1999 subaru outback and the engine needs replaced. The idler pulley went out and left me sitting. I had it towed back to my uncles and replaced all the pulleys, water pump and used a new subaru timing belt. Well when I went to start it she wouldn't start. The timing marks are right on. I puled two spark plugs and there is no compression. So i'm in need of a new engine. The one that is in there is a eg22 and thats what I wanna put back in it. I really need to know what years of the eg22 will fit my 1999 outback and it is manual shift. mine has the 2 pipes going in one pipe for the exhaust. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!
