Pick n Pull Motor

[Zoltan]

So im off to pick and pull to get an EJ25 SOHC  from an 03 outback. I dont need the heads, as I will be using the heads from my 08 impreza.  My question is do I need to keep track of the head bolts from the 03 or should I just use the ones from the 08?   From the research I've done everyone seems to say no new heads bolts need to be purchased.  Thanks in advance for everyones help.

Either will work,

I’d use the headbolts with the head they were last used with. 

Reuse if no overheating and first time reused. That’s the advice I was given and what I worked with.

Thanks everyone.  I should have mentioned that the 08 has a hole in the block.  Not sure if it was overheated, I bought it that way from a shop and not directly form the owner.  So zero history on the car, so not sure if it was overheated or not.  I will try to get in touch with the previous owner and see exactly what happened. THe car is a manual and it was driven by a young male so he may have just been really hard on it!

Irrelevant on history of 08 since it has a hole in block.

Just follow what has already been noted in your other thread.

Makes sense.  Thanks
