Well its been slow at work the last couple days (only worked on 2 cars in 2 days :roll: ) so after the last 10 months of looking the ej22 sitting in peices on my bench and the drawer in my tool box filled with gaskets, pulleys, belts and hoses I finely got my engine put back together. :D the down side is that 20 degrees and 40+ mph winds its too dam cold to put the engine back in the car. :cry:

For those that dont know I bought my legacy about this time last year with a cracked head because I had a 1992 wagon that lost 2nd and 3rd gear but had a good engine, being the anal person I am I pulled the engine out of the 1992, took it to work and dissassembled it so I could replace all the gaskets (this was in march and keep in mind there was nothing wrong with the engine in the 1992 that a oil pan reseal and some valve cover gaskets wouldent have taken care of)

Its depressing I have had the car for a year and still havent driven it :cry: but at least I am 10 steps closer to getting my legacy on the road, now if I can just get the trans in my cadillac to last until subarus on the road.

well the engines in and i finely got to test drive the car, although it seems the #1 injector took a crap so its only running on 3 cylinders, but with the exception of some lifter noise it and a missing cylinder it runs pretty good.
