If the parking brake was not left on and it is indeed the front, then it is probably rust buildup or similar. Does it roll backwards? Make sure there is nothing in the way and apply gas until it breaks free. O.

The gas filler tubes are generation specific. Buy the OEM unit. It will probably have a small vent tube somewhere on it. O.

FSM available here: https://sl-i.net/FORUM/showthread.php?18087-Subaru-Factory-Service-Manuals-(FSM)-Every-Model-USDM-EU If the final drives are the same then you're good. The MT Forester has 4.111 The AT is 4.444 The Impreza (RS has 2.5L) the MT is 4.111 and the AT 4.444 The 2.2L tho has 3.9 on the MT and 4.111 on the AT. O.

No idea til you found out what's wrong. SubaruPartsFor You, lists a complete Turbo short block for $2030!! O.

You will need a new short block at the least probably. Rod knock means having the block checked for journal roundness and line honed if need be. A new block is the cheaper alternative You will then have to have the turbo checked to see if its still good. If it was a cheap and/or easy fix, it would've have been done already. O.

If the inlets and outlets are in the same location, then yes you can. You may have to run hose for the AT lines but that's all. O.

Plugs are cheap. Change it. Sorry but our gap is measured in mathematical units, not blade bits. lol. .044. Move the wire from three to one. If the code comes back on one, you know it's the wire. Very seldom a coil with only one cylinder.

Found this https://www.obd-codes.com/p0866 O.

Would search and post over on LegacyGT.com. There are a few who have done this over there and should be able to offer aid. O.

Yes. As usual not a lot of room on driver side, but doable. Had to remove and replace the valve covers a few times on my 05 Legacy while setting valve lash. O.

The moral of this story is that if the price seems to be too good to be true it probably is. Sorry you had to learn the hard way. O.

An easy way to get the pins out is as follows. You need a pair of needle nose pliers to remove and reinsert the circlips, a 22mm socket on a ratchet to turn the crank and a stiff rod of some sort about 18 to 24 inches long I only remove the circlip that allows the pins to be pushed out. You use the rod to snake past the connecting rod in front of you and tap out the pin from the back of the rod you're working on. ie, snaking past 3 to tap 1 out etc. Use a 3/4" wood dowel as a drift to insert the pin. Leaving the backside circlip in allows you to tap until it seats firmly. O.

All EJ25's have four access ports. One is behind the separator plate. T70 Torx.. O.

See following from FSM/ You can download FSM from here http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/ O.ignition coil and ignitor assembly.pdf

In my opinion no. Just get the EJ22 and call it a day, If you want the experience, rebuild the one you pull. .P

Sounds like the TO bearing went and the clutch fork is damaged. Prayerfully that's all it is. O.

For future ref. here is link to FSM.http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/ BTW that is page 3729. O,

Have him look in FSM here: http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/ Look under DTC code 301 and follow procedures. O.

Get rid of it. T belt and accessory change is 100K or 8 years IIRC. You can get a quality kit with tensioner for @$150. O.

I don't see any. Both are dbw, the ecs is on the front of the crossover pipe in both cases, just double check the crank and cam sprockets. O.

There may be a vin stamped on the passenger side of the block. It is on a flat surface above the axle. Will have to clean first. O.

Make sure your harness connector is fully engaged. Here is link to fsm. Look at engine electrical. http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/ Also starting at page 171 of the DTC section is troubleshooting for the injectors O.

Make sure the crank gears are the same and that crank and cam sensors are plugged in O.

Just back off the adjusting screw so that the drum slides on. Rotate. If it rotates freely, tighten the adjusting screw until it starts to drag, then back off a little. A new hardware kit will make life easier, but not necessary.. A regular pair of pliers to hold the cup against the spring as you rotate for the clip will work. O.

The Brighton was a drum vehicle. Used a lot as a fleet vehicle. Look for exhaust leaks before the first cat,. Is a possible cause. for 420. Clear codes and swap wires to 3 and 4 and see if codes follow.. O.
