Hi,

 

   I recently had to say good bye to  one of my Loyales.   Yeah,  a sad sad day....

I mean I could probably keep it going....  but, I would have to ask myself,,,,,, why?

Had a good life.......   304K........

   Anyhow, I would probably get another one if they were around....... But, I think

I got the last ones on the North East.....

   I like wagons....  and I like Sticks.....

Can you tell me  about the motors ( in a nutshell)

       IE: 2.5L being  DOC........

   (what about models that have a tendency to exhibit "Piston Slap")

 

Tell me what to Avoid...........   And why......

 

Tell me what is  Great! and why....

I remember people telling me about the 2.2l's  and how great they were.......

They were only around in the late ninety's? (legacy's)?????

 

 

Ok,,,,    Thanks!     Micky

Pick up a nice Legacy Outback 97-99 with the 2.5 DOHC engine in it and then swap in a 95 2.2.  Best Deal around.

 

Get a nice rust free on from CO or other rust free states.  You will be in Subaru Heaven.

How much of a deal is the swap out?     2.5l ---> 2.2L   (with manual trans)

 

Do you need a plate between engine and tranny?

 

And  the computer?   what needs to be done there???

 

    do you just grab  the whole harness from 2.2l

 

Lots of subies fo' sale I am seeing.....

 

     How are the 2002  2.5l motors   ?????   what can be said about them.....( I saw a legacy  L - stick)

 

I mean.... really   head gaskets  are just part of the subie reality.....

I have done some of my loyales  several times......  I think that

304K one I did at least twice ,,,, maybe even three times..........
