WTB - Stock 2.2 Heads

Cross posting from Tech forum...I admit to not being very knowledgable about specific Subaru stuff. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

My friend has a 1998 Impreza Outback Sport that lost a timing belt. New belt is on, and of course there is damage. It runs! It idles pretty rough, but he's driving it and says it smooths out when upping the revs. Machanic says it's #3 cylinder. (Driver of passenger side? Not sure)

Does anyone have a head laying around that we could just swap out? Not sure if this is recommeded. The piston may have some damage on top, but I've smoothed it out and not had any problems in the past on other engines. I would have to inspect the piston and bore once apart of course. Assuming this is an "in chassis" swap also.

Anyway, trying to decide of we could just get a head, or if we have to take it to a machine shop for repairs. Anyone got anything? Thanks list!!

 

I would check out u pull our parts. they have a bunch of 2.2l legacys there and you should be able to use those heads. Although I am not sure how much they charge.

 

to avoid confusion....I'm going to lock this. if/when you decide to just buy a new head or pair, post a WTB thread that's just WTB.

Thanks!

 

I dunno why this thread should be locked, its possible to get some information out of it.

 

only because it's an exact duplicate of the one in the technical section, which is already full of responses.....
