I'm new to Subaru engines (but have done VW and old Porsches) and am going to have to inspect/change the timing belt and possibly pull the #1/#3 head on a 2002 EJ25. I'm hoping there is someone in the Maryland area that I may be able to contact if I have any questions that the manual can't answer.

 

The engine has low compression on the #1/#3 side (engine from an accident auction car) and may have slipped the timing belt and/or bent valves.

 

Any volunteers?

 

Regards,
