Re: We're to buy a good low mileage engine freon a trust worthy place

Re: Swapping a 2.5l for a 2.2l? In a 01 Subaru outback.
Oh wow i had no idea. I thought since i have to change the cylinder heads and block that it was not going to matter and that it would be just a straight across engine change. Is there only one timing belt for the 2.5 sohc?

Re: Swapping a 2.5l for a 2.2l? In a 01 Subaru outback.
Thank you for the info. I am just curious why you need to swap over the cam and crank pulleys and they're sensors on the 2.5l if it is a phase 2.

I see that when i am looking at the cylinder heads that they have the bolts under the valve covers instead of like the old 2.2l s made around 1996 that have the bolt heads on the outside of the cylinder heads. Does this matter when looking for a donor block? Or does all the cylinderheads fit on in t...
