Thanks, now I hope Napa has the tap.

The crank bolt torque is 125 ft lbs, so of the manuals have the wrong value.

I picked up 2 engines today from the yard. 95, Non - EGR Long block only as the manifold did not have the EGR Port. I have a 95 manifold with EGR 97 Non -EGR complete engine, the manifold has the EGR port blanked. I'm looking to drill and tap the heads, I remember someone posting they drilled into the water jacket, so I just wanted to double check if both engines can be drilled. Thanks, Larry

6" c clamp will be fine or I also use my wood hand screw clamp. Great deal on the car.

Yes, I'll verify the timing if i buy it. Just strange that he drove into work and then it would not start to leave.

I looked a a 2001 Impreza OBS the fellow drove it into work and when he went to leave it would not start. I turned it over and it seems like it has no compression. - Timing belt moving both sides look like the timing is correct - Pistons are moving Very strange, any ideas? Thanks, Larry

Used Colorado one $40 + Shipping. I can pull them all day long in the CO yards.

I have spare Diamond coils if you need one.

They can be polished out. Shops do this for about $100. The lenses are glued to the back shell so while it's possible I doubt you'd get it done.

That would do it. It's going to be replaced by a 2.2. It may be a good core for someone, but there was lots of water in the oil.

The airbox rubber mount is a 10mm.

Yes the turbo engines are built a little tougher to handle the boost.

I picked up a 97 Outback 2.5 DOHC and it has a couple of strange things, the water pump outlet is on the front instead of the bottom and there was a bracket for a turbo mount on the passenger rear head. Possible Turbo Block? Strange.

Yes, you might also consider getting the foam from a lightly used passenger side. They swap across pretty well.

Just look in the overflow tank. Black Oily stuff means HG are gone or going. Better off flying back and selling the car there. It's a long way TX to WA.

You seat belts should be covered under warranty unless the retract was faulty. Many of the belts have to be in the proper position to release.

You will have a few issues. These have been addressed in the past. Search for the swap. You should find my post. Larry

If it is your alternator, go to Subaru as they have the alternators prices right as there was a rebuild program on them a few years ago. Worth checking.

Look at the tire sidewall, it will have the tire size. They look like the standard 15" wheels found on the 99 Legacys

Or Axle popped out of the rear diff. If they are out by a 1/2" the diff will just spin but no power.

I usually end up taking them to the dealer and matching them. Even the dealer books are not so good.

Possible but hard. With the long studs, it's possible to pull the drive shaft remove all of the bolts and nuts holding the trans to the engine and frame and then slide it back. Your are now working in a 2 - 3 inch gap. If it drops down off the studs, it will hit the cross member of drop all the way to the ground. Better just to pull the engine or trans I think.

That's a Great Deal! Wish I'd find a few like that!

So after all of that, what did it cost you? Just money invested as if we consider all of your time the bill would be crazy.
