My intake manifold was a mess. Filthy dirty. So I used carb cleaner (lots of it) and cleaned it thoroughly. Then I sand blasted it. Then painted it. Then I removed and cleaned the throttle body.

My engine came from an auto Subie but I’m putting it in a MT Vanagon so I had to add the piece above the crank pulley to make sure the timing belt would not skip a tooth or two if the engine should

Here is a photo of the new oil pump, water pump, timing pulleys, and timing belt.

The seal shown in the image was a Felpro seal. It was difficult to install so I pulled it out and bought one at the Subaru dealer. It went right in. There were literally some sleepless nights when I

What’s the benefit of the steel plate? I also did the crank seal and pulleys as well. No end to the money pit. The dealers don’t replace the water pumps or pulleys generally I hear

I replaced the oil pump (OEM) and squirted some assembly lube and rotated it a bit, replaced the oil pump/crank seal, replaced the water pump, thermostat (OEM), all idler pulleys (Aisin), timing belt

The guy I used for my heads felt more or less the same way, but I went new for peace of mind. He said the cam is good, better than the dohc that do need replacing more often and he said the same about

I would inspect the condition of the bearing journals before spending the money on a full short block. I have pulled a number of 150,000 mile-plus engines down and have almost never found problems

I’d also remove the oil pump clean it replace the seals and prime it with assembly lube

I took it down this far.

The short block is available through subarupartsdeal.com I think for right at $2K.

Got it on the stand and the party was about to begin!

I know what you mean about the intake, why are they so dirty? I think mine had 220kms on it or so and likely never had a new PCV so my guess was it was just purging oil into the intake at high revs?

Here’s where I started back in October. ?Pulled the Legacy to my garage door and pulled the engine. It was filthy. ?It had oil leaks all over.

Thanks for the input and suggestions! ?I did not split the case. I found it pretty easy to get it down to the short block, so if I ever need to replace it I’ll order a short block from Subaru for

Sorry the other items to consider are the oil pressure sender as it’s a known failure piece and the cheapest of all the sensors, check the wiring on the cam sensor as it tends to crack, have the

Did you split the block or get a new short block? I picked up a 2002 sohc and went with a new short block. I figured no point in putting a tired old engine in a tired old van. But that’s just me. I

Greetings fellow Subie converts. Back in the fall I purchased a 2003 Legacy 2.5 SOHC. The vehicle had 164,000 miles. Ran great, no smoke, and I drove it home. I’ve spent the past couple of months

Great news!
