Timing cover (front/back/side) interchangeablity?
I didn't find anything doing a cursory search on this topic. Are the timing covers from a legacy interchangeable with the SVX? I assume that a DOHC timing cover will fit all other DOHC engine regardless of 4cyl or 6cyl. Valid assumption?
Thanks.

Re: Timing cover (front/back/side) interchangeablity?
I was just gonna say NO.
I just spake with my local dealership, and the parts guy has always been very helpful. No, he didn't wanna chase this down for me, cause he already knew the front ends are very different. But he was gonna do it anyways. I saved him the time, and let him know not to go with that. But it was worth a try.

Re: Timing cover (front/back/side) interchangeablity?
Thanks very much. I'm heading off to the junk yard today so hopefully the svx there has the timing cover intact! I know there are some legacy's there so that's why I was asking/hoping!

<<Nay, the SVX 3.3 is a non interference motor because the cams are permanently connected by a chain just behind the rear timing cover. >>
theres a chain there? i thought it was a gear.

Re: Timing cover (front/back/side) interchangeablity?
Even though one is gear driven and the other belt, who's to say the distance apart is any different. If you eliminate the gears, add a pulley and a longer belt you have the same thing. I'm not saying it will fit but, it's an idea that shouldn't be thrown out till it's proven. The SVX front cover alone is $90 new and legacys are a dime a dozen in the scrap yards.

Re: Timing cover (front/back/side) interchangeablity?
Yup, that's a good point; it may be worth to do an experiment between the two vehicles.
Luckily, the junk yard had all the bits so I pretty much scavenged the front of the donor SVX for a couple of hours yesterday.

There is an excellent reason that subaru made the gear thing exactly like they did.

Re: Timing cover (front/back/side) interchangeablity?
Now lets not confuse the issue. A chain drive involves sprockets, not gears. Ask a cyclist and one in California if you are so inclined. Are yes there is a gear ratio, which gives rise to the term 24 gears, or whatever. Does the Governor guy, favour chain gangs?
