Timing Belt replacement diagram for 1997 Subaru Outback Legacy 2.5L DOHC

You don't, the computer does. There is no adjustment on a factory timing setup. If you are replacing the timing belt or chain you must either know how to do those type of jobs or you follow the shop manual on the process.

Here is a complete writeup from subaru on how to replace the timing belt oh a ej25 dohc.

If you need any help along the way let me know I have done this timing belt a few times.

the timing marks are on the camshaft pulleys and there are 2 notches on each pulley> they line up with 2 marks on the engine block for each pulley> and the crankshaft has a notch that lines up with a mark on the engine block aswell> pluss the new timing belt will have white marks on it that will line up with all of the marks on the pulleys when they are in the right place so its nearly impossable to do it wrong

No the timing belt have been well replace or else the won't start.Well the timing must be check with a timing light and do the adjustment if necessary

If you just recently replaced the belt the timing could be off.

The 2.5L engine has a timing belt and it should be replaced at 105K. The 3.0L engines have a timing chain and are not serviced regularly.

****,squeeze, bang, Blow. That is what is required for a motor to operate. If you are getting fuel and current for the bang then the only thing left is the squeeze and blow which would be your compression. Have to make sure that the timing belt was timed properly to operate the valves to allow for compression. Hope this helps and have a good day.

timing belts do no use a hydraulic tensioner, that is only used on engines with internal oil lubricated timing chains.

This should be all you need. Hope it helps and have a great day.

Yes, the block is the same if you are putting in a SOHC.
