nh06LGT Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 My car is the 2006 LGT. Suspected spun rod bearing this morning. My question is...I was given a low mileage EJ255 from a 2010 WRX. After talking about it with a local guy i was told that the oil pans (and bolt patterns), oil pickip, and windage trays were different between the model years. The issue being that i was told the wrx pan hits the sub frame when swapped into the LGT. Im looking for advice/confirmation on which parts of this if not all, are true. Mainly the bolt patterns on the pan, and the clearance to the sub frame if i can not use my LGT pan on the wrx block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Yes. Lots of us remove our ej255 and install a ej257 short block, they are the same. Not sure about the oil pans being different.
