can anyone tell me if a 1996 impreza RX (EJ20) would be SOHC or DOHC?
i found a written off one but the bloke couldnt tell me if it was SOHC or DOHC and its pretty far away so i dont wanna go out for no reason

cheers kiel

If it doesnt have Turbo then it'll be likely SOHC. I could be wrong.

I'm 99% sure it'll be SOHC.

Then again I was 99% sure those prawns were ok...

well muddy....... when your right 99% of the time....
your wrong 1% of the time

the bloke said it was quad cam although i dont think he knew that well so it still might be worth the drive

the last NA EJ I looked at was quad cam. ( this was in a forester) plugs were up top though instead of middle.

so you think its worth driving out and looking for myself??
if thats the case im not goin to be able to get out there for like two weeks so i'll have to hold tight and hope that it doesnt sell

I would. if all you want to do is replace a tired engine then to me it would be worth it.

It'd be worth it just to prove me wrong.

I'll put 50c on it being SOHC too.
