Dealer said they needed a new engine. I might be able to pick it up. Used engine...

Best option is to go to a yard and pull a door apart there. The top rub pads can usually be adjusted but they push the glass out. You may create wind noise. A good inspection is the place to start.

Yes, that's what I thought. It must be that the passenger side cam gear failed. Owner runs by my place sometimes so I hope to hear what the failure was at some point. If so, I'll update the post.

I stopped to help someone on the road today. The car would not start. I pulled the codes - 08 Outback PO340 Cam Sensor. When I pulled the driver's side small timing cover there was over a foot of slack in the timing belt before it stopped. They had the HG's done a few months ago. That much slack, I would think the passenger side cam had failed. GD - those plastic gears you've talked about?

Pull the access covers and soak the studs with PB Blaster. That way they will be ready to go when you want to pull them. Fill the tank and go by mileage!

There are two sensors/resistors one on each side of the tank due to the driveshaft hump. The resistors can become iffy. There is Fuel Sensor cleaner you can add to the tank. If you pull the sensors out, make sure you do not snap the 8mm studs on the tank. If the car has rust issues, I'd just leave it as is.

Shwan is in your area, but I don't know that he is taking on any work. Super Rupair www.superrupair.com 1309 Yarmouth Ave, Boulder, CO 80304 (303) 442-6508 Very good.

GD what is you stop limit on Subaru years cars? I told my brother nothing newer than 2006. Thanks

They are in the engine compartment fuse box.

New hose and brake fluid. Bleed it wall after the hose change.

You should have Dual Port Exhaust on your DOHC 2.5. - a 95 2.2 has dual port exhaust. 96 -98 2.2 are single port exhaust so you'd need to change the y pipe. Most junk yards cut those as they take off the CAT so you'd buy a new one. EGR, the best is just to make sure both engines have one.

Yes. If you can match the EGR and Exhaust ports. Easy that way but there are work arounds. Much cheaper to put in a used 2.2 than do the HG on the DOHC.

2.2 swap!

Have you cleaned the intake? Seafoam works well.

OK, I'll get them out ASAP. Anything else?

I have New tensioner's as well. New style.

I have spare sensors if you want some. I like the old style tensioner and have swapped the bracket to put them in.

Thanks for the info!

Marketplace - 2006 Subaru Outback · 2.5i Wagon 4D | Facebook 178K mileage. Lifter noise? $2400 it looks clean and is CO car.

Who did the TB change? Any idler pulleys damaged? Something locked up I'd think.

I pulled and put in better carpet in the 2006 Forester but it's way thinner than other Subaru carpeting. Anyone ever used another year, model...? The 2006 Impreza OBS carpet I put in my Impreza was way better. Thanks Larry

Yes, not as easy as the older ones with 4 struts all the way around. I've never checked the length of the rear shocks from one to the other. I can't imagine you'd get much lift from them.

Green is fine.
