Timing belt for 2.2

 

Hey Gang, I'm going to do some preventative maintenance on my Vanagon with a 92 Legacy 2.2 in it.
?
Any recommendations on timing belt kits?? Are aftermarket ok these days?
?
I'm assuming:
Timing belt
all pulleys
New tensioner
?
And then while I'm there:
Oil Pump
Water pump
Cooling hoses
Thermostat
Other things to consider while the beast is on blocks?
Thanks!
Nick

Belt. non-interference
 

Aisin TB Kit (WP included). Oil separator cover if it's not the metal one. Crank and cam seals. Valve cover seals and spark plug tube seals. PCV and coolant temp sensor?
 

What is the recommended service interval for the timing belt?
 

seven years or 105,000 miles
?
But this one is all unknown, so it seems like a good thing to do.
 

Oof. We're at 8 years since the motor install but only 29,000 miles. Time for some fun it seems.
 

Send an email or call Jeff at AVSubaruConversions. They sell high quality Japanese kits. Six star, aisin, etc. If they don’t have everything listed on their web site, they can get it and drop ship directly to you. Everything is on sale now too. If you know the subaru part numbers for everything you want that helps to expedite the process. I needed to put together a kit for a EJ25D DOHC engine. Kits were no longer listed on my favorite sites so I called Jeff. He put everything together for me and prices were great.
 

Has anyone ever had a water pump fail?

Over the years I’ve heard of a few (very few) water pump failures, mostly due to bearing failure or impeller damage.
Oil Pumps: ?I’ve heard of way less oil pump failures. ?In fact, many folks, including me, do not replace the oil pump as part of preparation of the Subaru engine for service in our vanagons.
But, anything you replace with a good quality part is a good precaution against future failures.

Subaru dealers will also tell you the OEM water pumps dont fail. AISIN is a good replacement compared to the dealer as they make water pumps for subaru. Oil pumps I have been reading up on lately as I was under the impression one should upgrade the 10mm one that is on most 2.5NA models that people use for vans with an STI 11mm or 12mm. Apparently low idles on these larger oil pumps can cause cavitation and oil frothing. I was looking at a couple of companies that take the OEM pump and replace the pressure release and go through it and then rebrand and sell them as a performance product. I am considering one of these in a 10mm. They can apparently function slightly better at high RPMS, which is the benefit of going with a larger pump. So maybe if youll on the highways alot at high RPM a larger one would work for you. Im interested to hear if anyone has any first hand knowledge as I am building my motor up as we speak. So far i have settled on ARP head studs as an upgrade and also aftermarket valve guides, possibly a fancy oil pump, a reinforced IAG timing belt because it comes in red, the IAG timing belt guide as my motor donor was an auto and maybe, just maybe the clear timing belt cover but that would only also be for engine bling,? but everything else OEM.?
