Dude finally found a vid with my car!!! Took a minute. Looks easy peasy after lifting the engine. Thank you thank you! Saved me 400 bucks for a shop to do it
I mean there isssss a torque spec but you're also right, dont over torque them, you'll know when they are seated. Listed below are the torque specs for the whole process. And also, you're correct about part #'s.
Also thanks for showing me the best way to get the driver side off, jacking the motor that direction makes a TON more roam, almost impossible without doing that.
Relevant torque specs:
•Valve cover bolts: 3.6ft/lbs.
•oil separator bolts: 4.7ft/lbs.
•oil filler bolts: 4.7ft/lbs.
•Spark plugs: 15 ft/lbs.
•coil pack: 12 ft/lbs.

bullshit just ratchet that shit until its tight it'll be fine.
Theres always the toque spec guy.
Thank you for the video very well explained and it helps a lot .. you are an expert in mechanics. I congratulate you, God bless you and continue to illuminate your wonderful mind, why I see that you enjoy repairing cars.
Amen
blessing me 5 years with dev's wisdom
Dude your dyi tutorial is the best bro👍I use your clips for reference every time 🙌 my 05sti has been the stickin money pit and need to man up and learn myself lol... Be nice to Bobbi.. 😂 she is super sweet✌
Awesome vid! Sometimes i just browse through your vids...and it never lets me down until the Mitsu vids...lol
i have to compliment this dude. been learning from your videos brother. i personally messaged you way back but i know you are some kind of a busy one, still you're one person i want to learn from. Good job, I hope I can meet you sometime. Ps. My first time having a Car, and it's a subaru. pps. Im from washington too.
Bought a used 05' Legacy Limited GT, and I was starting to get concerned on how to remove the spark plugs or change gaskets. There might be 1" of clearance between the coil packs and the frame. This was the first vid I ran across that actually showed to tilt the motor. Thanks for the info, now time for me to get to work as my driver's gasket just started leaking.
Thanks subie brother I just noticed my gaskets on both sides leaking and this saved me a heart attack going to the garage.
Jacob Egnor I have the same problem. Where exactly could you see the leak?
SPOSE KEVIN around the valve cover gaskets bottom side
@@KevinDiaz-kk4wk On my 05 wrx, I noticed it leaking from the very bottom bolt area on the passenger side,back side bolt under the coolant tank, Leaking slowly onto the exhaust causing random passenger side smoke.
BUMP, lol. Thanks brotha. My brand new built engine is leaking from here and was curious how tedious to do in the car. Great content as always. Your passenger my driver i have to do =)
thanks for the video. how did the hondabond hold up? any leaks?
Did you need to drain the oil first?
I've drained the oil everytime I've done it, but the oil does not need to be drained
Thank you so much for posting this!!!! Was very helpful.
double sealing ... isn't that increasing the chance of failure?
Great video, helps a lot. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Is it recommend you use rtv with the gasket?
Tyler Zettner yes
Do we have to jack on the passenger side also?
Is it nessacary to replace the "half moon" seals when doing this?
Edit: 6:45 😬
Bro you didn't let the sealant set at all?
patayan tribe With the Hondabond HT you let it sit for 1 minute. About the time it takes to install. If you're using threebond you need to let it sit longer forsure. The Hondabond dries super fast!
What’s the best dealer needed for the valve covers? Thanks
Do you have to unbolt the pitch stop to jack up the motor?
And I'd imagine both engine mount bolts, gearbox mounts maybe too.
Hello what can happen if the leak was there for a long time
if the leak was there for a long time, your oil levels will go down. if your levels go down you need to top off your oil. nothing bad will happen if you top off your oil, but if you dont top off your oil it can be bad.
What type of gasket would you recommend??
For and 04 wrx sedan would it be sohc or dohc??
Xshadowshadex wrx is dohc
Thanks D. Very helpful 👍🏼
Yellow Snow Thanks!
I don’t think you need to apply gasket maker on the gasket to the head. You only making it harder for the next person to install when it’s time to do it again
silicone

I cringed when he jacked the motor up using the oil pan lol.
502_STI Where else do you recommend to jack up the motor? I'm about to start this project myself in less than a week.
@@Viper3870750 its totally fine to do so as long as you put a piece of wood between the two, dont go fast. the reason why he's cringing is because the oil pickups are prone to failure (this part is located partially in the oil pan.
name badpolicy Appreciate it man. I was able to knock this out a few weeks back without having to jack up the motor. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it was gonna be neither.
@@Viper3870750 this might be a little late but you can jack it up under the transmission just watch your radiator, if you can get a 2x4 under the rad to space it up it can help you get more clearance too
@@RyanSmithSnowboardin even later .. but yeah transmission .. or better ... rent a hoist and lift it out :)
