1+ Lucky TX had to say. He's aware of the future maintenance that may be needed. Testing is not %100 either way. I'm sure you're passing along the Subaru at a fair price to a friend so be happy you have a new Subaru owner in the gang.

A nice 95-2002 would would last for years at a 1/4 of the price.

Fronts almost any seat will fit. Yards are not selling seats with airbags, at least in CO. If you find a good seat with an airbag, remove all the tags and wiring and then they should sell it to you. Rears will have to be from an Impreza platform. Forester seats are about an inch higher off the floor. You may have to swap over the seatbelt latch from your old seat.

Drop in a used 2.2 and be done with it. I've been happy with every swap I've done.

Yes I've had it happen on motors that other have done a TB on. I have a few spare blocks that the parts bolt to. As others have said, it bolts to the block and is easy to change out.

I put the full aluminum one in my 2006. The fan assy would not work, but I had older independent fans that went right in. Also when I did mine, just moving the PS hose caused it to suck air. I put some clamps on the hose and it solved the problem. You may want to change the hose.

Oil leak. It's venting into the block. The PVC valve is controlling how much air goes in there.

Easy to pull the motor and wire it direct or read voltage under load. I have spares if you need one. Larry

It goes down to the air oil seperator area on the back of the block, which goes to the oil pan. Yes they often get very brittle from the engine heat. I've found the IAC hose is a perfect fit. When I'm in the self server yards, I'll pull a couple. You get 2 breather hose sections from each IAC hose.

Used ones are easy to come by and they don't fail often.

Subaru's are like legos, which is nice. You will run into the scrap rule. As soon as you scrap it, a week later you or someone you can help will need it. But you can't keep everything.

Sounds like the wrong bolt in the Starter position when he changed the transmission. Single washer, ground bracket, starter, trans and into the block. You could pull the bolt from the yard if you have a self serve yard near you.

That Link should go into the Tech Articles. Someone put a lot of work into it! Thanks for sharing. 79, 83 & 84 1000SP - all sold now. Larry

Get a Motive brake Bleeder. They work Great! https://www.amazon.com/Motive-Products-European-Bleeder-Pressure/dp/B0002KM5L0/ref=asc_df_B0002KM5L0/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198100799464&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=902790476625103202&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1014471&hvtargid=aud-801381245258:pla-380942840295&psc=1

99 Outback 5sp with a 95 2.2 engine swap. 96-2002 Impreza OBS Easy to work on! 2.2 keep on going and going. Easy to find parts when needed, which is not very often. < $4000 - cheap insurance.

The rest of the system CAT back are the same. Look at your O2 Sensor placement. They do vary year to year.

Cheap lift drive one wheel up on the curb. Snow may have those covered as well. Love CO. 54 today. Sweet might even make a Junk yard visit just for fun.

What did you find at the latch tab inside the car under the dash? Shoot a pic.

If you want to measure lengths and send pictures I'll see what I have. 80919 is my zip for shipping.

The cable runs under the radiator support from the drivers side. Could pull front wheel and inner fender and you'd see it. Last resort.

I thought they were spring loaded open. But you could always safety wire it in the open position once the cable if out of the picture.

I'd fist check and see if the cable is on the lever attached inside the car. If so, have someone push down on the hood when you pull the lever and then pull up the hood. If the cable ball end is not attached to the lever under the dash, you could just pull it with a vice grips. If neither of those work you will have to get into the grill area to pull on the cable or unbolt the latch 12mm bolts.

Just disconnect the cable from the clutch throw out fork. That way it will not close the HH valve. If you make sure the valve is open, it's out of the picture.

I most likely have a complete exhaust for it in Colorado. Shipping is not cheap but neither are cats. What's up with yours that you are changing it? Did it come from the rust belt?

You most likely have a single port exhaust on the 96 2.2. You can find the aftermarket Y-Pipes and they are pretty good. Cats you can't get from the yards anymore, but can find them used. I have a few in Colorado Springs, CO. Mid and rear exhaust pipes can be swapped out. Just need to match the length.
