hi from Australia , the ej20 sohc is bomb proof . I have 406000 km on a bugeye and still going strong . have only serviced this car and nothing including the 4speed auto has any problem . what I am looking for is a closed deck conversion for this motor . over here they all have high kilometres and need a replacement . the ej25 sohc from our liberty / your legacy is notorious for excess oil consumption and is an unknown quantity to fit into a 2000 to 2005 gd . it was done here by the factory early on in the gd/gg life cycle but disappeared just before the gr turned up . I am a general and dealer motor mechanic and have never done an hg on a Subaru , good luck I expect . trying to figure out the wiring equation with the ej25 liberty conversion , complete wiring loom I expect makes it a long term research plan . you guys seem to be doing a lot of conversions with the turbo versions so it can be done . the ej series is not made now but is a known quatity and is worth keeping in the subaru lineup . now the question . has anyone done (or heard)of a closed deck conversion on this motor ?
