Timing belt parts interchangability?

SoCal LS-L · #1 02-03-2009, 06:45 PM

I found only one thread on this so I have a couple questions.....

For the camshaft pulley, is there another subaru engine with the same size??
Will a timing belt from a 4-cylinder DOHC work on the SVX??
Are any of the smooth idler pulleys the same on another subaru engine??

The reason I ask is that we have a Pick-N-Pull here and I dont think ill have much luck finding an SVX, but im sure they have other subies. If any of these parts are compatible, what year and model would they be?? Im low on funds so any help with identifying the suitable replacements I could find there would be GREATLY appreciated

(pick-n-pull is a DIY yard, and they are very inexpensive, which is good)

I am almost certain no other t-belts work and pretty sure that the pulleys don't work as well but not as sure on them.

I may just have a low millage t-belt with all pulleys and tensioners that I could send you.

Awesome!! How much?

If its a package deal ill still buy it all, im cool with just the R cam pulley and belt though if you'd like to keep some spare parts.

Dude, I just picked all that stuff up, along with a waterpump and gaskets, for about 150. Used belts? Really?

No Subaru has the same belt, idlers, or water pump as the SVX. the blet has more girth (it is turning 8 more valves on the cams) and the idlers and pulleys are sized to match. BUY NEW PARTS, used parts are asking for a nightmare
