1996 Legacy Wagon - interference or not?


Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

I'm looking at pulling the trigger on a running driving 96 legacy LS but I have been reading conflicting reports as to whether the EJ22 from 96 was an interference or non-interference motor.  Can someone solve this mystery for me?

For my application, I want a non-interference EJ22 with OBDII which I initially thought was only the 95 legacy model.  Am I wrong?

Also,  Does a 96 have single or dual port heads?

TIA

I was hoping for dual port.

95 Legacy and up are OBDII.

95 heads are dual exhaust port and hydraulic lifters in the rocker arms and non-interference.

96 heads are single exhaust port and hydraulic lifters in the rocker arms and non-interference.

97 heads are single exhaust port and adjustable rockers and are interference.

We have a 95 and 97. I put 95 heads and Y-pipe on the 97. It paid off when the cheap timing belt broke.
