Just installed a 2.5 for another fellow in town. I can help or do it for you. I'm out of town Sat but will be back. PM with a phone contact. Larry

Thanks for the input. It might turn out to be a 2 way swap, The 95 2.2 auto engine going into a 99 Outback with a bad motor The 97 Impreza drive train going into the 95 Legacy I just have to see how everything is when I get the cars.

Guess I'll be the first. Thanks

I've done this on several 90-94 with OBDI but never on a OBDII car. Anyone? Looking at taking a 98 Impreza drive line and putting it into a 95 Legacy. Thanks

Pics to Lmdew@hotmail.com I'll take a look and make you an offer. Thanks, Larry

The salvage title is the kicker. Was the body work done by a shop? Is the body like new now or just better. The low miles are good, the condition of the car will determine the value. If the body work was not done by a shop, but the car is in otherwise good condition, 1500-3000 would be a reasonable range. If the Body work is like new as well as the rest of the car you may get up to 4000. Take $2000 off the KBB for the salvage title. You have to figure out what it is worth to you, and what the market is in your area. Post it on the board when you know what you want for it.

Do you have the key on? There is a shift lock that needs to be powered. You can manually release it, there is a hole in the front Left corner that you can insert a 1/4" drive into and press down. Look in the owners manual for the procedure.

Thanks, I have a SOHC long block available and a 99 OB that I'm getting, which I believe has the DOCH so I was thinking about what parts I'd need to make it work and how much would swap from one to the other. AC Compressor PS Pump Intake :<( Water Pipe Throttle body...

Do all the parts from one swap onto the other? Any year restrictions? Thanks, Larry

If you don't get it, let me know and I'll pick it up! Lmdew@hotmail.com

The bearings are sealed, you can clean the dust seal and put a little grease on it as well as the axle splines.

Yes, you have to lift the engine. If you pull the exhaust down and remove the engine mount bolts you can jack up the engine from below and then put blocks under the engine mount bolt to hold it up. I'd also remove the rear upper dog bone link. RTV is the seal for the pan, make sure the surfaces are clean and give it 24 hours to cure.

I take them to 125 or higher.

Go with CCR if you are going to put in that much money! Then you have a new engine not just new heads

1/8" would be a little much, but they do bend slightly. You may have over tightened the bolts. You can pick up the metal one off a early 90's 2.2 and replace the plastic.

Sounds like it could be the coupling. Is the rack bleed (turn it lock to lock as the pump is running. Did the binding go away with the front end off the ground? Doing this will unload the rack, if the binding is still present I'd say it was the coupling.

Happy Holidays. If someone can email a report on: VIN: 4S3BK6359S6359795 That would be appreciated. Lmdew@hotmail.com

The tooth idler looks like it is losing grease. This is the idler that fails the most. Did you check it?

OBS is doing great! STI Struts, Rear Disk, GT Wheels and Tires. Yes, I don't know why the DMV could not find it in CO. The Carfax should show history of what state/states it was registered in and the current State. If someone can run this it would be great. I'm still locked out of the monthly unlimited checks.

Thanks USMB, found the info I was looking for! I'm having trouble getting a good title for this car and now Colorado say's it can not find the car in the system. JF1GC2249PB512748 Thanks, Lmdew@hotmail.com

You Pull it Yards $35 or so and if they leak, most have 30 day exchanges. You can drop one in about 30 minutes, and Install in another 30.

Replace it, good used ones are easy to grab at the yard. When you hook up the hard lines, make sure the oring is in good shape and unclamp the flex lines and hook them one at a time. Easy to cross thread, so start them by hand.

Can you here the injector clicking? Have you checked the voltage at the injector? I have some 98 2.5 injectors, don't know if they are the same or not

Thanks, Larry

It's been so long since I've been into a Subaru that is low miles, I forget if the RH idler with the red seal goes top or bottom. This motor has two black pulleys that need to be replaced.
