    That's so awesome that you figured it out! I'm glad it was something simple, even though pulling the timing cover and resealing it is pretty troublesome.

    Thank you for the series man, im so glad u didn’t give up because that successful fire up put a big smile on my face. I want to rebuild a subie one day (hopefully i do i dont have to pull the engine twice tho)

    Good job man. What an undertaking. 78k on my 18 2.5l Forester, still running strong.
    I have a series on my channel about sound deadening the Subaru, if you want to treat yourself to your more powerful engine AND a quieter ride. 👍

      Improving the sound deadening has been on my mind for future project for the XV as well. Good to know!

      @@ReadySetProjects Not even $300 in material makes about 4-5dB sound difference. Phone calls and radio sound much better. Now the loudest thing in my car are the kids. 😰

    That’s right …..keyway on crank faces straight down at 6 o’clock and cam gear arrows face each other on intake and exhaust on both sides then put on timing chains sequence to line to color , also make sure on disassembly rotate the cam gears with belt strap so lobes are not applying pressure on valves. Cam gear should rotate freely 180 degrees , man all that work …. The biggest thing is time to clean and 3 bond everything… . Great video …. I build these as a hobby

    You did a solid job of diagnosing and explaining the problem. Even at the beginning, I was thinking the motor was 180deg out of time . I only have experience with chevy small blocks, but converted to Subaru, so this is good information. I wonder if you could do a rundown of differences in fitment for a 2.0 vs a 2.5 ... like what things did you have to modify or correct for ie mounts, hoses, wiring... ecm... or was it pretty much a direct fit?

    Been watching your series and contemplating a near identical engine swap (2014 manual xv crosstreck) with the FB25, just curious now that youve had the vic for awhile if you feel like it was a worthwhile job to undertake. Appreciate the level of depth you go into my man! Any dialogue would be awesome! Thank you!

    Hey, how’s the crosstrek holding up?
    I’m curious if you’re going to do a follow up on how the transmission is holding up. Been doing a lot of reading up on the 2023 crosstrek manual, the gearbox is just my concern if the torque is going to be too much

    This is honestly cool. Would this same engine fit in a 2023 cross trek? In x amount of years and the engine blows or just is beyond saving, I might consider this

    I've swapped motors on my Jeep, my race cars, tore apart stuff without fully knowing about them and putting them back together .... I totally appreciate your giddiness when she fired up and idled properly. Again, well done. You mentioned "the manual" a couple times... which manual are you using specifically?

    You are incredibly talented. So much knowledge.
    This is hard to watch. Have you opened the factory service manuals, any other sources on oem procedures…..there is something about factory manuals that if read correctly provide specs, steps, tests, torque values…..

    would a fb20 completed head work with fb25 block?

    • @ReadySetProjects
      @ReadySetProjects  Рік тому +1

      I believe so. Just maybe not the most efficient, since the chamber in the head won't exactly match the cylinder bore. But valve size, lift, and everything else I think is the same.
