Warren,
Thanks. Being one of the night owl and persistant types, I did subscribe to Alldata in the wee hours of the morning. I hated to since I knew it would have limited info. It did have the specs I was looking for plus a few other things of interest. Less expensive than investing in a good set of manuals for a vehicle I plan to flip!!!

It shouldn't have but it amazed me how comparatively shallow the level of knowledge the Subaru forums (those I found) are compared to this one. I was able to find theads stating the '97 2.2L engine had hydraulic valves and some saying they were solid lifters. Fact is, it is neither. The rocker mounted adjusters make direct contact with the cam lobes therefore no lifters. Oh well. Makes the process potentially less expensive.

Thanks again.
Steve
