mickytrus Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hi, I recently had to say good bye to one of my Loyales. Yeah, a sad sad day.... I mean I could probably keep it going.... but, I would have to ask myself,,,,,, why? Had a good life....... 304K........ Anyhow, I would probably get another one if they were around....... But, I think I got the last ones on the North East..... I like wagons.... and I like Sticks..... Can you tell me about the motors ( in a nutshell) IE: 2.5L being DOC........ (what about models that have a tendency to exhibit "Piston Slap") Tell me what to Avoid........... And why...... Tell me what is Great! and why.... I remember people telling me about the 2.2l's and how great they were....... They were only around in the late ninety's? (legacy's)????? Ok,,,, Thanks!

lmdew Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Pick up a nice Legacy Outback 97-99 with the 2.5 DOHC engine in it and then swap in a 95 2.2. Best Deal around. Get a nice rust free on from CO or other rust free states. You will be in Subaru Heaven. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickytrus Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 How much of a deal is the swap out? 2.5l ---> 2.2L (with manual trans) Do you need a plate between engine and tranny? And the computer? what needs to be done there??? do you just grab the whole harness from 2.2l Lots of subies fo' sale I am seeing..... How are the 2002 2.5l motors ????? what can be said about them.....( I saw a legacy L - stick) I mean.... really head gaskets are just part of the subie reality..... I have done some of my loyales several times...... I think that 304K one I did at least twice ,,,, maybe even three times.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
