Comments:

Installed a CCR Rebuilt 2.2L EJ22 Subie in PA
Took 7 days and lots of work but thanks to Dave Milo, his family and Maggie
it was a total blast.
Fired up first try on day 4 and was running smooth within 5 minutes.
Still breaking her in ... But very impressed with the new Engine

Full install report to follow in a few days.

 
good road,
good adventure,
good life,
