We Give a New Lease on Life to your Forester

The Forester is a reliable and fun small SUV to own. And if you own one, you're more often than not guilty of giving its engine one heck of a workout! The 2.5 liter EJ25 occasionally does succumb to head gasket issues, but it usually wears out because of neglect and not a defect.

Trust the mechanics at SSI Subie Specialists, Inc. to remanufacture an engine for your Forester to 100% Subaru OEM specs. While remaning Forester engines, we take extra care to machine the cylinder head and block surfaces to perfection. All our engines come with new bearings, gaskets, seals, rings, and Six Star head gaskets. We make sure to perform a leak down test, compression test, and oil pressure test on all our engines prior to shipping. We want to make sure you are getting the very best!

Got a 2011 or newer Forester? Learn more about the FB engine -

In 2011, Subaru replaced the engine in the Forester to a newer FB engine that is 2.5L 4 cylinder boxer engine. This engine is a new chain-driven DOHC, which replaced the belt driven SOHC. With this new engine, there also is a reduction in friction losses with lighter pistons and connecting rods. The connecting rods were redesigned to weigh less and are shaped to keep the engine the same width as the EJ while allowing a longer stroke. The FB engine has about a 10% better fuel economy than the previous EJ. It has the same horsepower and a slightly higher torque at a lower RPM.
