So I've bought myself a dud. Bearing/s shot on my H6.
I'm looking at a replacement engine. I've got a 2004 R-B, the engine to replace with is a 2004 Outback. I googled and found one guy putting a 2006 liberty engine into a 2004 outback and it all worked with one small wiring change.
Google yielded F all, I've read here the engines should at least be the same year model. They have the same power output etc and auto v manual engine doesn't seem to make a difference, it seems.
