Sorry to hear your havin problems, you need to check & see whats happened then suss your options, you may be lucky with belt failure its usually worth slapping another one on & turning it over to see what happens.. if its seized it wont turn over obviously....

Ebay is your friend if you wanna go cheap but trust me engine out as a novice at the roadside is not funny just changed my btm end on a 95 wrx like this, if your better equipped or getting a garage to do it different story, the engines are quite similar throughout the classic series its the electrical and inlet manifolds that seem to change... IM NO EXPERT ! this is based on mix and matching bits from ebay....

find out where you are 1st......

take a cam cover off and see whats up with it. only 3 10mm bolts.

and engine out on a subaru has got to be one of the easiest things to do.

Can't you not quickly remove the cam covers to see the state of the cambelt, etc.?
