2004 California outback's had a different head with single port. Yes you can. Be sure to use Subaru #642 turbo head gaskets

Hi all; My postal carrier client just showed up with her "New" 67,000 kilometer 1995 legacy GT rt hand drive. Extremely clean car. Runs perfect at the moment. Apparently after 25 years they can be imported. These are not the kind of Subaru that normally runs the gravel / muddy / snow covered roads around here. After 30 years in the Subaru business I have only had a handful of 1980's turbo cars. Certainly never a twin! I'm wondering what parts are different with this car "engine" over a US model? Air filter , oil filter , Also what maintenance / parts on the turbos is going to be necessary? What do I need to know. She is buying three more similar cars. Another turbo model and two n/a models.

Oh , the tensioner piece you helicoiled is replaceable. Three bolts I think , much safer to replace this than trust a helicoil. Wrecking yard or the dealer , money & time well spent

You are using the correct mark on the crankshaft. You already have the valve cover off . Reach down and try to wiggle the rockers. A bent valve will show as a very loose rocker. Or something fell in a sparkplug hole.

My work vehicle is a 2000 rust free 5 speed car. currently at 311,000. I routinely drive 4 hrs or more one way to work. I would drive it to Caribou, Maine or Key West FL today. Yes it uses oil as well. Clean or change the pistons. Use new NPR rings. As long as they are not allowed to get hot they are truly 400-500,000 mile motors. Tell tale on these motors is a rod bearing rattle at startup and also noticeable at float rpms while driving. If you start hearing that, start looking for a replacement longblock.

I'm 5' 11" in a 2000-04 outback wagon. With seats laid flat, I can sleep on the diagonal. Head up behind drivers seat . Its not fun but it dry and warmer than on the ground. The awd system is awesome, will get you anyplace you need to be. I would not bother trying to raise one, they shouldn't need it. Of course I can't recommend a Honda CR-v here on the Subaru forum... would be a sacrilege !
