The car is 2003 forester. I ended up getting it running I forgot to change the cam sprocket from the ej25 to the ej20 once I did that it fired right up. I appreciate everyone on here's comments about there motor experiences everyone here helped me get this motor running. The new ej20 runs very nice and I don't think I lost much power. If I can help anyone out hit me up here or call me 740 7032043

1998 Models all had Phase 1 2.2 or DOHC 2.5
1999 Forester had the phase 2 SOHC 2.5
1999 Legacy and Impreza ran the phase 2 2.2
1999 Outback had the Phase 1 DOHC 2.5
1999 Impreza RS had Phase 2 SOHC 2.5
2000 Legacy all got the phase 2 2.5, no more 2.2
2000 Impreza continued to have the phase 2 2.2 and 2.5
I am not certain about newer models after this...
If anybody knows more, by all means... .... ...
Cam & Crank Gears...
The timing marks on the reverse are different. I am not 100% certain of the year but I believe 2003 had a difference between CA and Federal Emissions. These Pulleys had three teeth on the cam gear, not seven. and the crank had like 15 -20 teeth, not seven. I have seen the swap done, not run, car towed all over the Northwest from dealer to dealer before it landed at my shop (an independent). I played with it for a bit, and thought timing issue fairly quickly. Pulled the belt and decided to check the teeth on the pulleys to make sure none were missing. I then thought, "wow, hadn't seen this before" and installed the other pulleys pictured above. Car started, ran like poo for about 10 minutes (cats filled with fuel) and then it ran like a champ. If nobody gets a pick up of the different pulleys in the next few days, I'll see if I can find the ones in question, take pic, and post.

I forgot to put the crank sprockets from the ej25 on the ej20. Did that and started right up. Runs very good. Thank u very much for your quick response. Seems like Subaru people are a good bunch of guys and gals. Thank you all again.
