any one know about the 2.2l subaru engine
my dad bent a valve in his 97 leg.
my friend has a head for a 96 leg. will the 96 work? |
Re: any one know about the 2.2l subaru engine
Arrr double post. Bad juju.
I don't know if it'll work...The engine was changed slightly from 96 to 97, and one of the changes was to the valvetrain. If he has two heads you might be able to put both on and make a hybrid engine. |
Re: any one know about the 2.2l subaru engine

Re: any one know about the 2.2l subaru engine
Pretty sure that's the 2.5l, the 2.2l was used on the first gen legacys.

Re: any one know about the 2.2l subaru engine
Although the 96 and 97 are both 2.2L SOHC with single port exhaust, the 96 is a non-interference engine, and the 97 is an interference engine, so I think they must have changed head designs, and probably piston designs. I'll check some part numbers for you if I can.

So I checked on 96 2.2L vs 97 2.2L out of Impreza Outbacks, which should be the same engine that they put in the Legacies those years, and the part numbers for the heads for those two years are different. I am not sure what the differences are, but they are not the same heads.

The earlier style 2.2 heads look ENTIRELY different than the later 2.2 heads, so if the other head "Looks" like his original head, I say it'll work fine.

The big difference is in the exhaust ports. dual or single port. Either will work but make sure you have the right set of head pipes. I personally would use the cams and lifters out of the original engine just for safe measure Tom |
Re: any one know about the 2.2l subaru engine
The stage 2 EJ22 looks just like a single cam EJ25, and is an interference motor. I am not sure when it started appearing, I think it was late production 97, since my friend has a 97 OBS that has the "old style" EJ22 in it. If both engines look identical, then yes it will swap. The newer style heads should, in theory, be interchangeable, but I do not know for sure since I've never had the two apart side-by-side to compare.
