I'm looking at a '95 Legacy "L" AWD wagon and wondering if the EJ22 in that year is interference or not. VIN # is 4S3BK635XS6329172. Thanks!

A 95 LegacyL should be a non-interference engine. I had one

95 is non interference, and it is also roller rocker! It is probably the best year for all the 2.2s 204,000 miles on mine and running strong!

All the non-turbo Ej22's.

yep 95 2.2 is non interferance, 2.5 is however.

The EJ22 is a great engine.

 

Regarding non-interference, only the EJ22 non-turbos prior to '97 are non-interference, according to what I've read here and elsewhere.

 

Here's a Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_EJ_engine

 

"The SOHC EJ Subaru boxer engines were non-interference engines through 1996. "

not true. EJ25 in 1996 is interference. here's the easy info you need to remember for non-turbo engines:

 

EJ22 is interference starting 1997 and after. all EJ25's are interference.
