Absolutely without a doubt! His work shop looks nothing short of a laboratory that you might find in in NASA LOL (should they move over to making Boxer engines LOL!
I love this guys work. I respect the workmanship and skill he put in to every engine. This guy is not a mechanic. I would call this guy a proper professional mechanic. I only wish my engine was looked after by this guy
I have to say, aside from the subject matter, the photography and editing in these is really amazing. Not a word spoken and yet more info than any I have ever watched.
It almost brings tears to my eyes to watch such a meticulous and skilled professional working on these beautiful engines. Watching these videos reinforces my belief that anything worth doing, is worth doing RIGHT.
Hello Handyman! I ride Subaru over 30 years, the first was "Legacy". In 2005, the I turned to the "Impreza" 2.5 ccm. without the turbo, to be sure that Subaru is the best family car in the world. Yours from Canada.
Hello I am your subscriber from Russia, Tikhoretsk. I really like your workshop and your videos about the repair of Subaru engines, they are the best and detailed. I own a Subaru Forester XT 2.0 turbo 2003. and we have a big problem to find a good master, and especially for Subaru they are all afraid and very expensive$, so you have to do yourself thanks to your video. Thank you for your work and God bless you.
I had no idea these had a hollow crankshaft...no wonder they can get the revs....essential in a Formula 1 ..or any other race car thank you for posting
Yes I would love to have one of those aqua blasting machines. I thought it was a glass bead or shot bead blaster from other videos and was wondering how it came out so clean. Now I understand. Cool stuff
Smooth rocker covers, but only 6-bolt, and centre thrust bearing. So this is a 96-98 EJ20K, out of a Ver. 3 or 4 STi. Nice! My fave, nice and simple oldschool performance!
Love these detailed videos. Plz keep them coming. Just as an idea maybe you could do a high power engine build showing every step by step procedure kinda like a marathon series? Saw the three vid 800 hp one and loved it. Keep em coming sir.
Always good job, but I sow you measuring the crack dimeter and the cylinder mane bearings, So where’s the mean bearings thickness? Please tell me the trick. Thanks
Oh man you may do my Subaru i love your work man I make my suby for every guy or girl ho want to feel te Subaru power but can not efort it (in belgie it's not easy) giving people a smile on that face and let them forget the misery for 1 moment is price les
Was waren das für Ablagerungen im Motor, die so komisch bräunlich waren. Wie viel km hat der gelaufen? Die Reinigungsmaschine mit dem Wischer ist der Hit. Wahnsinn das vorher nachher Ergebnis.
Silly question perhaps but what happens if you find a problem when inspecting the crank and crank case bores (after you have done all that cleaning)? Also, do certain parts have to go back in the same place i.e. were they balanced at the factory? Thanks great video production and thanks even more for lack of music!
The main difference on these EJ25 and the following generation EJ25 is the change from the thrust bearing being in the middle vs later being placed in the back, right? In The States, I'm pretty sure this comes from a 1998-1999 Outback/Forester/Impreza with DOHC. The second generation EJ25 was from 2000-2005 SOHC, then from 2006- 2012 the heads changed over to VVT SOHC. All non aspirated. Please let me know if I'm wrong.
@@christiangraham4579 It's right around 2011... I'm assuming you're talking about switching over from a timing belt to a timing chain. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Rodrigo Sagebin yup I think that was the first year they introduced the timing chain motors with dual overhead cams with rollers and two pets instead of rocker arms assembly. But they kept using the belt motors on the outback’s and other models.
He used a STI, (steel thread insert), to repair the thread. Can be bought in a kit, (drill, special tap, inserts and a tool to install them), This is a must if you do a lot mechanical work.
Gasket removal fluid similar to brake parts cleaner? Nice gasket residue remover. I have a similar one. Still waiting on my 1995 honda odyssey cylinder head it's at the machine shop. Bent valves.
you scared the shit out of me when you put the thrust bearing on the number 3 slot because i had mine on the number 5 slot. Did some research and anything below 1999 has a number 3 thrust haha
Beautiful Work! What is the brand name of the gasket scraper? Where to buy it? And second, what is the product you are spraying before scraping old gasket?
I was interested in watching this video series because I had a Subaru Legacy Outback - bought it new in 2000... at about 140,000 KMs, the head gaskets started leaking. Apparently that was an ongoing problem with those engines - it was a 2.4 litre four cylinder model as I recall... Could you please comment on that head gasket defect issue? Thank you.
Also für 25 Jahre sehen die Kurbelwellen-Lageschalen ja noch ganz okeh aus. Aus welchem Fahrzeug stammt der Motor denn? Muss ja ein Japanischer Import sein, wenns ein 25 Jahre alter STI gewesen ist.
Is that an 106 S1 Rallye In the back?

Anyone else like to que up some good music and grab a cup of tea or coffee and watch these?
I was wondering if the mains were out of round? Then I watched till the end, the last 2 minutes made my heart happy 🤗
Subaru makes engines that works good and for a very long time. I am waiting for part 2. Very impressive work.
Another great video!!! no words, no music, only rebuild!
great camera work. Like watching a foreign film
Amazing content!!! I watched that Subaru master mechanic video over and over again. But these videos are way better!
Excellent video! I love seeing engines, and just mechanical things in general, be restored and brought back to life!
I had no idea these had a hollow crankshaft...no wonder they can get the revs....essential in a Formula 1 ..or any other race car
thank you for posting
3:56 - 4:15 So satisfying 👌🏼nice job.
Beautifully produced video! I really enjoyed it guys
Best videos of engine work.
I’m so addicted to all your videos man.. keep em coming!! 👍🏼
nice work!!! can you make a video showing how the aqua blast machine works???
Yes I would love to have one of those aqua blasting machines. I thought it was a glass bead or shot bead blaster from other videos and was wondering how it came out so clean. Now I understand. Cool stuff
What is the spray you used to remove the silicone gasket? And what is that wet blast cabinet, that thing looks awesome!
Jeff Flanagan probably some type of adhesive remover.
Isn't it just water??
Its called "Bremsenreiniger" Brake cleaner :)
love watching videos like this, my only gripe is watching him use a steel brush on aluminum to clean the surfaces.
What are you using in the parts washer ? Seems to do an awesome job !
Parabéns. Excelência elevada á máxima potência!
Você é o rei dos boxers!!!
I wold love to apprentice with this guy.
Ok now that is awesome. Absolute quality stuff, love it.
Smooth rocker covers, but only 6-bolt, and centre thrust bearing. So this is a 96-98 EJ20K, out of a Ver. 3 or 4 STi. Nice! My fave, nice and simple oldschool performance!
Mmmmmm would love one of those Vixen Aquablasters! but at £10K... it can wait!
Fantastic videos keep them coming!
sick 106 rallye in the background :D
@Abe Trve if you swap spark plug wires nr.3 and nr.2 it will sound like one even on stock engine 😂
@@fila1445 hahaha
Gut gemacht, gut gemacht. Aber natürlich ist es gut gemacht, sogar sehr gut.
Great video man! I just found your channel. Nice work and that shop is sweet!
2:27 right half underside 20R!! Open deck!!! Wish you would do a video on close decking one of these beauties Andi?
Love these detailed videos. Plz keep them coming. Just as an idea maybe you could do a high power engine build showing every step by step procedure kinda like a marathon series? Saw the three vid 800 hp one and loved it. Keep em coming sir.
One day I'll tear down a whole block but for now I'll just do head gaskets. Love the channel keep it up.
Спасибо! Очень увлекательный фильм!!Мне понравилось!
"I think I could rebuild an EJ!" *watches video* "I'll stick with bolt ons..."
This is so detailed great video
You must go through those Pendleton’s quite a bit
You are PRO mam!
Nice time lapse video
Die Würth Zebra ratschen fassen sich so gut an
Very nice video,thanks man.
Asi trabaja un profesional...😉
yea im tryna get this guys help on my build i so wish he operated in the states
en el minuto 8:40 se ve una grieta en el bloque del motor???
Best quality of engine work videos on youtube. #SubieLife
Was ne Kurbelwelle👌🏻
I wish a tiny bit that i understood what all the measurements are for and why etc. but im sure he will drop a video about it soon
Many of the checks were for size, he was also checking for roundness.
Отлично ! Good job👍
When clean oil galleries...is there a way to see if they are blocked? Or the air gun is enough?
What a great video. Thum up.
At 24:00 you're cutting for more clearance or because the step between the two parts ? Nice job btw
Bore isn't completely round (in spec).
At 22:30 you can see that it was a little past the “zero” measurement.
Always good job, but I sow you measuring the crack dimeter and the cylinder mane bearings, So where’s the mean bearings thickness?
Please tell me the trick.
Thanks
Buen trabajo. Magnífico

I wish i had the money to send you my EJ18 out of my 95 Impreza to redo. It has 220k miles on it and still runs almost perfect.

I believe 2011 they started the chain motors. In the forester?
You’re correct about the thrust bearings. I can’t speak for the valvetrain

Thanks for another great video. What's the de-greaser you use in the little spray bottle? it seems to work great
We want to see more of the dog

Question, when you removed the coolant crossover, you had to drill and tap one of the bolt holes. What was the tool you used to replace the threads?
He used a STI, (steel thread insert), to repair the thread. Can be bought in a kit, (drill, special tap, inserts and a tool to install them), This is a must if you do a lot mechanical work.
Awesome video. What is that tool you used on the mains ? I have Never seen one of those before this video.
Hahaha :D der gute alte schnipser :)

Also für 25 Jahre sehen die Kurbelwellen-Lageschalen ja noch ganz okeh aus. Aus welchem Fahrzeug stammt der Motor denn? Muss ja ein Japanischer Import sein, wenns ein 25 Jahre alter STI gewesen ist.
