EJ22E block with EJ25D heads - Head Gasket?


Recommended Posts

Edit 3/10/21: Got the Cometic HG:
P/N:  H1631SPL051S
Description: Subaru EJ22/25 Hybrid engine 98mm  .051" MLS Gasket SOHC 16V
 
 '96 EJ22E is apart and NOW I understand why the port matching - of the coolant ports - isn't that critical. Per the added pics, I have an EJ253 Subaru OEM HG on the EJ22 block (the EJ25x matches the EJ25D heads) and the Cometic HG on both  block and heads. Due to the BLOCK's coolant port configuration they'll work 'just fine' as is; and of course since they match the 2.5 config they'll work on the heads, too.

And oil and coolant ports on the EJ block: OdFw9WuZ4mJzxy7e0PZe55MM504NEK2QY5UbShJG
 
 
Original request: Anyone  Modify / Cut a Head Gasket for the EJ22E block with EJ25D heads for the oil and coolant ports?
 Cometic is 5-6 weeks out for their custom hybrid HG: H1631SPL051S (98MM bore, .051" thickness)
 
I'm not going to install a 'stock' EJ22E HG because it doesn't line up well. This is an EJ22E HG on an EJ22T block. The EJ22T block matches the EJ25D, which is what I built 10 years ago, so I just used an EJ22T HG back then.

Here's a pic of the EJ222 - Phase 2. Thinking of using this, if I can modify it. Its ports match the EJ25D's.
