tricked919 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 First off thank you, thank you, thank you !!! I owe it to MANY of you. John, thanks for finding my motor!! You and grossgary were my saving grace MANY times. at 3:05pm EST the 22 fired up in my '97 OBW. I have a little exhaust leak. The dealer here is out of gaskets and I couldn't wait. I tried some Ultr-Copper and it failed. Its a left port tiny leak, but its ticking. I'll get some soon. Other than that, the motor sounds great. I put the old EJ25 in front of it so it could see what a real motor sounded like ---you know, humiliation works sometimes Anyway - thanks again guys. Any questions for future swappers ...feel free to pester me. OH ...and the most important thing - NO C.E.L.!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnceggleston Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 OH ...and the most important thing - NO C.E.L.!!! how did the vac hoses work out? any left hanging or plugged? congrats on the swap. ps: there may be someone on the board who needs a good head or 2. (but he may have already pulled his and sent them to the machine shop.) i'll have to look for the thread, you could save him some bucks and pay back your self some bucks.

johnceggleston Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 john newton might could use your threads if price is right and shipping from nc to tx isn't too much. this thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=112858&highlight=valves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 nice hit, glad it worked out, that's awesome. don't run it hot or low on oil and the Ej22 will last a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
