What, if any are the difficulties found with installing a ej25d JDM engine? Specifically, will the wiring harness meet up?

I do appreciate the feedback guys. My engine has no leaks at all. Sooooooo, it looks like I'll be adjusting the valves along with the timing belt kit. Guess I am lucky, I have a shop with a lift and compressed air at my disposal and several local dealers that have the shims in stock. I might just purchase an assortment of shims and take it from there. I realy can't wait to get into it. Just waiting on a bit warmer weather. I have been turning wrenched for many years, however, I have never worked on this style of engine. Kind of excited

I have already isolated the noise with a stethoscope, and the noise is comming from the passenger side, front of the head. But the weird thing is, it is only after the vehicle warms up. There is a slight tapping when cold, but nothing abnormal or unusual.

Hello everyone out there in Suby Land. I have a 1997 Outback Leg with EJ25 and 160k miles. Been very well maintained. I am getting a valve tapping from the passenger side front of engine, but only after the vehicle has warmed up. Is this due to valve adjustment or timing belt? I plan on replacing the timing belt (with entire kit) soon, but if valve adjustment is needed i'll send the head to machine shop at the same time if necessary and adjust the valves. Let me know. Thanks
