February 21, 201214 yr so im buying a subaru in another country so i have a car there when i go there... are the JDM EJ20 from 94 to 98 non-interference?
February 22, 201214 yr Our EJ20 we got in Europe, no matter if Turbo or N/A, are interference, like TheLoyale said!
February 22, 201214 yr all twin cam but most jdm used hydrolic lifters but still interferance the 96 2.5 used the same valve train if heads are wreaked hydroic to hydrolic solid to solid you can tell if it has a valve addjustment spec on under hood sticker or not
February 22, 201214 yr where are you looking? I am based in Italy and might have some tips for you as where to search. Take into account that subaru came pretty late into the market in europe, and 94-98 are not going to be easy to come by. In any case check well with the embassy of the country if this is possible in the first place. in some countries, like italy, a non EU citizen can not buy a car unless he has a valid stay permit. I think that holland/belgium are more relaxed TG
February 22, 201214 yr I too was under the impression that there was a SOHC ej20e that is almost identical to the ej22. you guys sure that ALL of them are interference? European vs JDM may be a difference
February 22, 201214 yr The non-USDM SOHC EJ20 is a non interference. Same heads as an EJ18 and EJ22 SOHC. Although fitted with roller follower, solid rockers(adjustable) Basically the same as our EJ22 here.
February 22, 201214 yr Author actually I know they are jdm... it's in brazil, south America.... subaru started selling legacies there in 1991 with the ej18 and ej20 so that means all the NA ej20s up to 98 are non interference that's what I though thanks guys btw all the AWDs and dual range!!! yummy I'm looking into a 96 legacy wagon gx looks good but again I need to be there to buy it so it's gonna have to wait till I go see my mom
February 23, 201214 yr Are you looking to buy a car in south america and somehow register it in the states? That isnt real easy to do at all...

He is buying a vehicle in South America, so he has a vehicle to drive when he arrives there. (Beats taking the Bus!) Good thing we got this straitened out, I learned something new today!
