cam bel off, cams moved!
just wanting to be safe, can the cams move freely and still be lined up bfore putting cam belt back on?

If it's single overhead cam, then yes.
If it's dual overhead cam (quad cam), then no -- if you let the cams turn arbitrarily it's possible for the intake and exhaust valves to hit each other.

vrg3 - Do you know which engines are non-interference? Is it all of the SOHC engines? And the DOHC being interference designs?

All DOHC EJ/EG/EZ engines are interference.
Early SOHC EJ engines are non-interference.
I'm not sure about later SOHC EJ22s. I have heard that sometime around 97 or 98, when they bumped up the compression ratio, they created a potential interference condition.

I thought the eg33 was non-interference? It is dohc but I think the intake cam is run by a gear connected to the exhaust cam not the timing belt.
Aren't all sohc engines non interfence by definition? At least valve-valve.

I'm on First and First. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe.

Okay, I stand corrected then.THAWA wrote:I thought the eg33 was non-interference? It is dohc but I think the intake cam is run by a gear connected to the exhaust cam not the timing belt.

yeah, but for any sohc engine, subaru or otherwise, there's no way to bend a valve just from rotating the cam right?
