Oh and the block I used I never found out the mileage on it and I'm pretty sure it was high. I'm not putting money into this block cause I can get another fairly cheap, but I'm thinking I might start out with new bearings next time

Not sure about details, but he wasn't running it hard. It did get ran decently hard for 50 miles though by myself... :oops:

Subaru cams should turn exactly once for every two turns of the crank. In fact every other engine I've timed was 2:1 although I've heard of 3:1 or otherwise.

so the other day i dropped the engine in my car and it was running great! very torquey and fun to drive :) well today one of my buddies took it for a spin and when he got back said it wasnt running right... i went out and tried to start it and it just shook and made a metallic sound. left it cool do...

Hey! thanks for your response so far. I checked out the heads i'm using, and it's like you said. oem gaskets dont look like they'll work, but the picture you posted is perfect. here's the problem: i searched, but i can't find that part number gasket anywhere.. and i cant figure out what thickness i ...

somebody said use head gasket for whatever block you use... are you saying i need something else? sorry i'm a bit of a noob

got another question... does anybody know approximately how much hp an engine like this will put out? and will the factory 4eat take the torque?

thanks that makes sense. i have a 91 legacy sedan fwd 4speed auto

ok so i'm thinking about doing the ej25 shortblock with 22e heads build... been doing a ton of reading on this but i still have some questions. first, is the only thing that changes the shortblock? like everything else from the 22e would bolt back on. and maybe it doesnt matter, but which 2.5l engin...
