if the crank sprocket was in the correct timing position, or close, you are probably ok. when it is in that position all of the pistons are at the mid point and the valves should clear. but if the crank sprocket was not in or near the correct position you will have to wait and see. however, since it is a double OHC, it is isn't it, the valves on one cam could be bumping the valves on the other cam.

if you did both fronts and one was different, then the 2 pot probably was a replacement. what car are you working on. you should pump up your brakes after replacement, BEFORE you drive it. when you push the pistons in so you can get the new pads to fit around the rotor, you push fluid back into the master cylinder. you need to pump them up to refill the system. did you disconnect any of the brake fluid lines??? -
you are welcome, but it isn't a car it is just an engine, from a salvage yard. another option would be to buy a good head, but if the car has been over heated it may be better to swap the whole thing. there are others if you search the link i gave you. i used a lansing zip code, you can use your own and sort the search by distance. you may get luckier than i did.

to re-cap, you got this car free or almost free and the engine came in pieces, correct? and after you got it back together it would not run.? apparently you took it apart again and found a crack in the head and tried to repair it, correct? i'm not going to re-read all of the posts, did it have good compression? did you look here for an engine? 90 - 94 will work: www.car-part.com maybe 95 - 96 or maybe not they are obd2. where in michigan? 1992 Engine Subaru Legacy(2.2L, VIN '6' 6th digit), w/o turbo-- 100K $350 Abcat Auto Salvage USA-MI(Ypsilanti) 1-800-869-6933

timing belts, idlers, and waterpumps along with seal and gasket kits can be bought from "theimportexperts" on ebay. good quality parts for a very good price. some folks will say use only subaru seals. not very many people here go as far as spliting an engine block. of course some of the pros here do it on a regular basis, but most of us are of the shade tree variety and why split a block when you can get a replacement engine for 300$ or less. but that's just my opinion. i would think a subaru online dealer would be your best source for rings and bearings, but i have never bought either, so what do i know? aftermarket may be just fine if it is a reputable company. i like : www.subarugenuineparts.com jamie thomas, "subie gal", is a member of this board. but there is also : www.1stsubaruparts.com www.subarupartsforyou.com - a good place to find part numbers www.opposedforces.com/parts/ - another good part number place

the pics i have seen show 2 anti foulers used on the rear, the first one , threaded into the exhaust is left in tact, no changes. the second one , threaded into the first is drilled through completely. it appears as thought the tip of the o2 is longer than the anti-fouler so it extends part way into the first one. this setup puts the o2 sensor in its own small compartment with a very small opening into the exhaust . please correct me if i'm wrong.
