jeryst Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Someone recently mentioned to me that he thought that Subaru had made an engine with gear drives instead of timing belts. Does anyone know if that is true, and have any more information on them? I always thought that all Subaru engines had timing belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edrach Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Thanks. Do you know what general years/models?EA81 1.8L engines; with the exception of the Hatch and Brat which used the EA81 engine until 1987, all the models up to 1984 used the EA81 engine. That's in the US market. I'm not sure about international models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
