Thanks guys I changed the timing belt not long ago,it may not be hard for some but I found it a tedious job,just a shame that I have to go over that again to do the pump.Was hoping there might have been a way around it.The ej22 dosen't have the valve problem as the quad cam motor does, I know that b...

Hi Guys
My ej22 is dripping coolant from the back of the water pump where it's mounted to the engine block, are they easy to change and if so does anyone have any tips on doing the job,any help greatly appreciated
Regards Cheffy.

Thanks guys for your help,have stripped the front end off and discovered the cam had slipped a cog on both cam pulleys,fixed it up and now runs like a charm.
Regards Cheffy.

Just incase anyone cares ,(I know I do with the amount of hours spent scratching our heads!)I pulled the front off the motor and found that the timing belt was out by one cog, fixed it and she purrs like a fine tuned pussy.
thanks guys for support along the wat
Regards Richard.

Does anyone know of any links or have any advice on how to install the timing belt into a ej22 motor,we installed a new timing belt in my ej22 and it's now running rough so thinking it must have slipped on a pulley on installation ,is there any way of checking if it's incorrectly fitted without pull...

you go get him timsy!!!

Hi suba mike Sorry mate yes we also have checked for vacuum hoses,Do you remember me I've spoken to you a couple of times on the radio you put me onto this site some time ago. I think you know Chris, out in Canningvale who's been helping me with the conversion,a bit of a subaru buff isn't he! Regard...

Hi guys I'll tell you what we've done just in case there is something we have missed. -Changed the fuel pumps -swapped the air filter sensor -pulled out the harness and connected it up to another motor and it ran fine -Changed fuel filters -Changed spark plugs The fault codes that are coming up on t...

Is there anyone out there that can help me with my conversion in perth wa,the motor and gearbox is in harness is installed,it's just not idleing right and coughs and splutters a bit. advise and assistance would be greatly appreciated. regards Richard alias Cheffy.

Hi Tim
Where do you work so I can keep you in mind for parts and advice for the future,Cheers Cheffy

No you would use the liberty cv cups that the guys are saying connect straight onto the EA Brumby front shafts.

How are you? The motor ideas in the previous thread about putting the ej22 into my brumby ran into gearbox ideas. I've chosen the L series 5 spd because of dual range and simplicity to install,the L series cv's sleeve straight onto the EA's shaft and as for the rear the diff ratio it would be the sa...

Hi guys
The other reason behind using the 5spd ea box over a liberty box is that I believe converting the cv's and shafts are a nightmare to fit from hubs to gearbox unless anyone know's of a special trick involved without setting a grinder and welder to fit the 2 cv's together.

Hi everyone out there in Subaru land I've got a 88 Brumby that I had been doing all sorts of homework on replacing the ever tiring ea81, whether to rebuild ,put in a ea81T or something else altogether.So I decided to do something different altogether.I bought a wrecked 93 Liberty and pulled out the ...

Just try and see if you can drill it out at the back to put in some lights to come on with your park & perhaps brake aswell.
