as written, me and 91loyale swaped EJ22 from a 1992 legacy w/blown sparkplug, someone didnt titen the plugs so one of them went up in air, w/ the tread, and that was the good engine:cool: my engine was burning a quart per 200 miles, and after me driving it for 17k it blew a cilinder ,make a long story short, we've pulled out the engine from my car, then we've pulled out the engine from the donor(the car was sitting for 2 years on a pig farm) broke a lots of bolts, stud in head, which we've drilled out after 2 hours.Donor was an AT so we've changed the fly wheel and clutch, water pump, fixed the missing tread with heli-coil kit, and instaled the engine in my wagon.Only thing that went wrong was the timeing, of by 6 teeth, our fault, but its okey now . Engine started a little rough, but after a quick spin (6000rpm) it went back to normal. so far its running great, and i'd want to thank 91loyale for his help and his effort that he've put in to this project:clap:

this is what we use EA82 block for

this is the best engine lift ever:grin:

fun part

Not bad for a complete engine swap. The cheapest engine he could find localy was $450, installation extra. The lecacy is better than it was even before it lost a cylinder, because this engine doesn't burn oil.

 

There's much worse ways to spend a weekend.

 

The EA82 workes perfectly as a solid jackstand. The rotten stump on the other side wasn't so safe, but it held.

Why was this moved to retrofitting? IT's an 1992 Ej22 going into a 1992 subaru legacy which had the EJ22 in it to start with. It's not a retrofit, please return it to New Gen.
