December 22, 200520 yr Hello all... Well, I'm looking to replace the engine in my 98 OBW and I wanted to know what other years and/or models used the 2.5L DOHC engine? For example, did this engine go into the Forester also?
December 22, 200520 yr I would be tempted to look for a 2.2. I think the 95 is a bolt in but you might do a search here.
December 23, 200520 yr forester, legacy, impreza all had the DOHC 2.5L 98-99 model years hope this helps Jamie
December 23, 200520 yr I believe the forester had the DOHC only in 98, and was SOHC in 99. Legacy/Outback wasn't SOHC until 2000.
December 23, 200520 yr BTW, some dealers don't like to do the HG jobs and just want to throw a new engine in there. Are you sure the dealer isn't hearing the well-documented piston slap? Be suspicious. HGs alone aren't reason enough to spend all that money on a new or rebuilt engine.
