Hello and thanks for this thread!!! I did a 2.2 swap into my wifes 98 forester as I have had enough
of the issues of the 2.5 dohc. The donor engine was resealed along with new timing components,waterpump, etc,,,. The engine ran great but had this clacking valve train that I couldn't get fixed. Well low and behold there was rtv plugging the oil feed in the rocker shaft! Just the intakes would never pump up. All is well with the EJ now ,and I just wanted to say Thank you for this forum and in particular this thread. It has saved me much grief. Thanks again.
