Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and vehicle fitment before installation, especially on Subaru Impreza and Subaru Forester models with multiple engine configurations. This kit does not include a water pump, so confirm whether separate cooling system service is being performed at the same time. Follow factory timing procedures, align the timing marks carefully, and replace related wear components only as specified by the vehicle service manual.
