imprezaII Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hello folks.... I just bought a 96 impreza SW 2.2 auto. ac. auto door locks. 15"rims. black with gold color interior 217,000 kms , It had GOF. and trans flush ....To get more info I called the dealer and asked if the engine is free wheeling ,or if the timing belts breaks....He said they last 60.000 kms and not changed it will cost $$$$$ Also I like to know if any one has retro fitted H4 silverstars into the 9003 sockets ? And how that worked.. Looking for lots of help on this car so thanks in advance for the help.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Welcome aboard, imprezaII. Well, you've already learned a lot--like don't trust that dealer you called for information! '96 was the last year the EJ22 engine was still non-interference, which is what I assume you mean by "free wheeling." If the timing belt breaks it should not cause internal engine damage. Relieved?!!

imprezaII Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yes Very... I talked to my neighbour about the dealer. He said ,they say that to cover their backside in case the engine was replaced with a newer one and the valves go bendy.... Thanks for the info, and the welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
