Hey everyone, Unfortunately my 2005 Forester threw a rod soooo, I guess shes getting a new motor. But where do I start? I know my engine is the EJ25 but when looking for a new short block or long block I keep seeing tons of other versions, Ex: EJ251,EJ253,EJ255 and EJ257(I think 257 is not N/A). What is the difference, can I put any of these in my Forester with out changing anything?
Also, I have heard both sides.. are these engines interference? If not, I would love to just be able to replace the Short Block. Could that be possible for a thrown rod that caused a hole in the block? Thanks.
