Yea can you post a pic of that tool? Thanks!

Kind of a dumb reason honestly. Prior owner had someone do a timing belt job. They did not torque down the crank/timing gear bolt. In time, it wallowed away the timing key way and damaged the groove in the crank and timing gear. So I just about have her apart to replace the crank. Now I'm trying to figure a way to get the piston wrist pins out without buying the special tool. Tried a bent coat hanger (with like a 1/4 inch bend), didn't budge...

Wasn't trying to come off as being my way is the right way. Just the way I always have done engines. Valid points though on them not being TTY - so they are likely fine.. Appreciate your instructions regarding the search.

I actually have a new set of head bolts. I did find a kit for that. I'm in the habit of replacing bolts that are torqued to a significant amount, such as head bolts, especially since these were the factory ones. I don't want to worry about them stretching or otherwise failing - cheap insurance to me. Regarding that link you posted, I have some questions. Bolt #24 is the short case bolts definitely need those, but they do not have a part number. The other cases bolts look like #3, they label those main bearing cap bolts. Do those pass-through and act as the bearing cap bolts, as well as case bolts? (First Subie rebuild, I'm used to rebuilding small block Chevys and Fords..) Thanks! PS. Here is the case bolt kit I was referring to that I was curious if it would work on a 94.

Sorry should of been more clear, yes the case half bolts. I found cylinder head bolts, but the kits I keep finding for the case halves say 95+. The pictures of the bolts do look the same as my 84 2.2...

Hi guys, I cannot find a case bolt kit for 1994 2.2 (EJ22) Subaru. I can find them for a 1995 however, would that case bolt kit work? Thanks!
