I'm going to beg to differ here, Ed. A 4 cam isn't necessarily that much harder. All the motors are interference after the 2.2 anyway. There are tools you can rent that hold the cams in place when swapping the belt. Or have a buddy help you. Only one wants to move anyway. So to me, 2 or 4 cam doesn't matter. It may for fitment in the engine bay however.

And as to head gaskets: DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT install Subaru gaskets. They suck and will leak somewhere after 60k. Buy Felpro, and spray both sides with copper gasket spray. If you do this, new bolts are not necessary.

This last paragraph will save you time and money in the future. Oh yeah, use Subaru compatible coolant, that helps as well.
