1999 Subaru Outback EJ2.5 DOHC motor. Confused with the one-piece/two-piece stuff I'm reading in these reviews/questions. Is this the right kit?

I'm not sure what your question is? But from what I get but on the 97 2.5L models there were two different motors (mid year change) for that year. This kit works one one of those models. If you have a 99 this should be the only kit that would work on your year. If you need verification you can get the code off the top of your engine and double check it with that engine code.

It worked for me on a 1999 legacy outback ej2.5 DOHC. Great kit and good price.

One piece and Two piece should be referring to the timing belt tensioner. Most cars in 1998-1999 have the one piece, but some have the two. You can only tell by pulling the timing covers. The one piece has a big swing arm style with a small piston built in and a bearing all held on with one bolt. The two piece has a bearing held on with one bolt and a with a small ear on it for the larger style piston tensioner held on with 2 bolts. The one in this picture is the one piece. Hope that helps.

This fits the EJ25 DOHC engine. I put it on my 98 2.5rs. No idea what you mean by one piece two piece stuff.

I'm not sure where you saw one piece/two piece. Did you mean single cam/dual cam? This kit is for a dual cam motor

That should be the the one for that year. I didn't realize I had the older of the two in which they changed the motor mid way through 97 so I bought a tensioner from subaru.

The one I bought worked perfectly . It replaced a motor used on a 97 Flair.

Steve - thanks for the info; I did talk to Derek just now - FWIW, he said that it just has the wrong decal (if it were actually a ES350 it would be a different color, green rather than yellow) and they will send the correct decal out; so I guess I'm ok with that explanation, at least for now. Also, I asked him about the serial number and he said it should be on a small decal that has 5 digits and the letter D - I found that on the bottom of the motor. It sounded like they had done some research after your call and had reached that conclusion.

If you have a 2.5L DOHC (dual over head cams) this is the kit. This kit's tensioner is still a one piece tensioner. If you have the SOHC (single over head cam) this is not the right kit. It wasn't really the tensioner as it was the SOHC that was phased in later that year.

Yes, this is correct for your application. Thank you for shopping with Steve White motors. Josh

often these are generic images... the motor will be correct if you have matched you part number to listed cross ref numbers... it is a 4 speed unit which will have appropriate wiring...DanCSH989-723-8985

From what I have read it is only specific to the models listed. I would email the company..see if they still produce the specified part or if there is a replacement part number. Think the original is 20274. There are two downsides to running the wrong part..least worry is that you lose $8. Biggest would be if it were to cause damage to some of the more critical parts..motor..shaft..etc. I would email first.

In Australia we have right hand drive vehicles so I was guided by a previous buyer's advice . I needed a motor for my right side (driver's side) but this is for left front door. So it is fine for left side. My purchase is going onto eBay. Cheers

I only see a kit Aisin TKF-005, listed for a DOHC motor for the Forester XT. Are you sure of the engine?

I saw a exploded view of one disassembled but don't remember where. You might check the Smoke Stack forum. Lots of knowledge there. I have also heard of folks installing a different engine. I have seen 5250s with a Tecumseh and Briggs engines.

Hi David, are you sure this is the correct motor for you? In my application the 2-wire harness and connector were an exact match.

Part 742-803 worked perfectly on my 2005 Outback. It was used on drivers door side.

older 2JZGE had a distributor and will need 6-wires. the newer 2JZGE come with coil-packs and will not need 6-wires. check your engine, if it has a distributor this will NOT work. if you don't know what a distributor is, please google

i think just more sporty options but the header should fit i have it on a 95 impreza lx 2.2 but it says it will fit all ej engines but make sure yours is the same design..

Hi, James. These are original Subaru oil filters witch fitting fine on my cars, 06 Impreza OTBS and 06 Legacy 2.5 LTD they are both powered by 2.5 L. engines .I'm sure Subaru uses the same power plant on 2014 Outback, so there is no reason for worries .Anyway ,probably you should try buying a single oil filter instead of a dozen, just to make sure....... I hope this can help you, and good luck with oil changing

True, this kit will not work with 1998 subaru legacy outback 2.5. It worked perfect for my 1997 SLOB 2.5, and it still working great.
