Hi all new to the forum needing a little advice. Ive got a 61reg forester diesel with play in the crank !Removed! oil into bellhousing. Ive found an engine with 109k out of a 60 reg not too far to collect this week. Im wondering will it fit and what will need swapping over if it doesn't ? I know the injectors probably will or get the replacement engine ones coded to the ecu but is there anything else I need to know ? My engine is already out ready for the donor

Just a bit oily in there will be de greasing and cleaning up tomorrow

Sometimes you just got to put them side by side and measure everything as there could be so many variables between them.
Let us know how you get on with it all and good to see some pics of good old driveway maintenance

Both euro 5 engines so shouldn't be massive differences. No mechanics wanted to do the job so started it myself. 4 of us on a scaffold tube lifted it straight out 😅
