I’m planning on replacing all vacuum hoses too, they’re all super hard. I know as soon as I try to remove one, it’ll crack. It’s a total of 12-13 hoses and around $200 from Subaru online. Probably worth it too.
I'm new to this Subaru "game". Who do you order from online?
Recently bought a 2011 Forester and have been watching learning valuable info on Subarus, I'm no stranger to wrenching on cars as soon as the weather warms a bit more I'm rebuilding my F150 engine and trans, but I digress, watching your videos gets a little odd because your voice sounds exactly like my brothers that was in the airforce.
Thanks for the videos👍
I’m so sad that I’m just now finding your page. I’ve owned 2 Subarus (‘99 Forester & 06 LGT) my LGT is at 215k and your vid’s are a God send. It’s in need of some of the repairs your going over. I’ve hit that subscribe button. Hope you put out more 4th gen LGT videos.
Your videos always remind me of why I don’t work on cars, the engine compartments are so tight. I’ll take rebuilding a Cummins with a million miles on it any day. I respect the quality of your work and your wealth of knowledge on these strange engines with the pistons pointed in all the wrong directions.
Yee but don't jack up the engine with the oil pan 🤣🤣 Just jack up the tranny qnd the engine will raise 🥱
Those bottom rear cover bolt are soooo much fun when they swell up from corrosion and won’t turn! (Was that sarcastic enough, I feel like I can be more.)
Had to use an extra long, ball ended carbide bit in a die grinder to remove the bolt heads on more than one occasion in order to slide the valve/cam cover off.
Ouch..
Appreciate this vid so much.ive got a 2006 legacy gt. At 200 000 KMS. Thanks for the heads and awesome tips man
What part number is the Tokyo Roki oil filter for this car? Awesome video and thank you so much for your time and dedication to the subaru community. Kudos to you brother!
Enjoying the Rebuild of This Car! Can you share the part numbers for the pcv components? Need to replace all of them on my 08 Outback XT
I f’ing can’t stand dealership techs; took my wife’s Honda Fit in for a recall and they ripped of all of the clips but one for the intake tract. Hence why I sub to your channel - you’ve kept my ‘07 FXT going solid!
Edit to add this video is pretty much the same for the FXT
Such a great video. Keep up the nice work
Thanks for the Video. I just did both valve cover gasket and tube seals. 276k. 2011 outback premium.
My rule of thumb when it comes to hoses, if you take it off you replace it.
Great and timely video as I need to do the leaking valve covers on my 05 OBXT with 222k miles.
Thanks for these vids!! I’m doing a clutch swap on my 05 legacy Gt hatchback and plan on going over everything else
Totally agree with you Robert on changing the Subaru blue acoolant earlier I did my interval at six years 80k
I am so excited for this one! Thanks for putting this together. Be well man 🙏
The shoulder bolts. My father always used to say, tight is tight, too tight...is broken
Great video, more LGT content is always good.
Definitely recommend replacing all of the PCV hoses. Also the suction hose and o-ring on the p/s if it hasn't been done. The intercooler to intake hose usually goes bad from oil and heat. The short fuel hose on the driver's side too.
I like to remove the engine mount nut as well but also one bolt on the pitch rod and jack up each side of engine.
The older turbo EJs were Aisin, if I remember correctly. I still do coolant at 60k for turbo engines because of the heat.
My 05 GT wagon EJ255 was done at 200k. So done the bearing halves just fell out when I split the case and I built a EJ257 with forged pistons.
I would recommend replacing the suspension parts with Spec B components. They are inexpensive and still available from Subaru. I did the Spec B lower control arm bushings as well as the aluminum diff and rear upper arms and they made a nice difference in handling (lightweight too). Later, I did the full Spec B front and rear suspension with aluminum control arms, the Bilsteins, STI pink springs and 06-07 18" wheels. Sometime down the road, swap out the 5EAT for the Lego (non-DCCD) 6-speed and Torsen LSD.
My old Forester XT 255 is now pushing 180k (kilometres). Only consumables I have replaced are rear shocks , the radiator, front drive-shafts (torn boots) and front sway-bar links.
If a major component fails the car will be off to the wrecker.
Please do a follow up video with the finishing job. Thanks
Good to know there's hope for my LGT with only 123k on it! It need basically all the same repairs though already haha
Wealth of knowledge .
Great video. 👍
good vid. thanks !!
You should do a cost breakdown
Good instructional bro.
Really glad you did this one.. This is basically my car in the wagon version which now has 213K miles and I have no idea who worked on it before. One of my fears is finding cross threads if I tear down the motor. Also, the PCV valve assy on these cars is a PITA to get at at that bottom clamp by the block, but of course you make everything look so easy lol. Do you recommend just buying new upper links? I was considering pressing in new bushings, depending on cost. Thanks for the video!
If you have the means to press the bushings, it much cheaper.
@@MrSubaru1387 I do yes. Did you have to use special pliers or remove the Intake manifold in order to get to the PCV valve? At least on my car it’s very tight space in there..
Clic clamp pliers? I didn't pull the intake on this car, just intercooler.
@@MrSubaru1387 I see, so it can be dono without removing the I/C! Thank you MrSubaru.
I didn’t realize how difficult this spark plug job was on the Outback XT till I tried it myself. Other than the motor mounts nuts, does the engine support rod has to be loosened as well in order to raise the motor? Looking under the car, one could probably raise the engine by the motor mounts themselves with a rigged 2x4 instead of having to lift it by the oil pan.
The engine mounts don't need to be touched. Never lifted an engine on these for plugs.
@@MrSubaru1387 Maybe I'm overthinking this too much.. it was a bitch for me getting the #2 spark plug off.. had to use a combination of swivels/extensions to do so. I can't imagine how much more difficult the rear is since the frame tapers towards the rear. This is why I was thinking of creating some sort of rig to elevate the motor from the bottom. Or heck, using the crane to lift it just a bit. Spark plugs are only changed every 30K miles anyways..
@@Mike_44 every 30k?? Since when?
@@MrSubaru1387FSM states every 30K.. ??
Have you done a video on oil air separators or catch cans before? How do you feel about them and do you think the improve engine longevity.
Hope you can make a video for replacing the clutch of impreza or crosstrek manual transmission.. thanks😄👍
Hey, I'm curious to hear what you think about Mazda cars. I've never heard you say anything about them
Is there any issues with the 2019 Subaru Forester? I am new to Subarus so I have no clue if they are reliable coming from a Toyota. Thanks
Hey, I have a question for you Mr.Subaru, I have a 99 impreza outback sport with 2.2l and a manual trans. Now I know it's an ej22, but which one specifically? Ej223, etc? And the I also am about to replace that engine with a used engine, another ej22, and any advice you would like to give me on what all to address as for as preventative stuff to replace BEFORE putting it in would be greatly appreciated. I know I want to do the complete timing kit, and most of the gaskets and seals, but I'm not sure what all gaskets and seals I should focus on, as far as like, absolutely should do stuff, ya know. I also plan to install a new clutch and was thinking about upgrading it a little but and am also open to your suggestions on this. Any help you could give me would be VERY appreciated. Your the man dude, thanks
Look at the ID plate on the strut tower under the hood. It will tell you which EJ22 you have. Likely an EJ222 or EJ223
Interesting the exhaust side looks like the cam pulley gear is plastic? Is it plastic Robert?
Yes. They are.
Would the floor jack on the front diff with the pitch stop out not work better to lift the engine up
Hmm... my Aisin kit came with the single bearing lower roller. :/
I have a '09 Outback 2.5l, no ABS, will this affect the AWD?
Greatest!
My 2008 spec b has 280000 miles , original turbo, original clutch . Engine and trans never separated . All theses items need replaced on mine . Unfortunately it was backed into by a truck. I’m not sure it’s worth it to fix
Yes it is, even if it is totalled it is still worth it to fix in my opinion. The 08 had the best interior, the better front end with the 08-09 facelift and minor tweaks to the chassis. I didn't like the wheels as much as the 06-07, but they are such a good car.
An unrelated question. Why does Subaru recommend a 60000 mile spark plug change for my 2018 forester? I had them changed today at 60300. They said old plugs looked pretty good. Could I go maybe 5 years/75000 between plug change? Seems like I could. My wife’s 2012 cx9 by Mazda recommends 100000 between plug changes. Why Subaru so conservative?
Hey, do you know why my 2012 Subaru Legacy shakes and shuts off when I come to a complete stop?
Sounds like a bad torque converter. I have video on the issue with the 2010-2012 Legacy/Outback on this channel.
@@MrSubaru1387 Thanks for your response. Is that usually expensive to repair?
4th gen is the best gen
What year did Subaru implement the secondary air pump for the Outback XT? My ‘05 didn’t bring one.. unless it was deleted and they erased the code before. I’m guessing it was available only for 07-09 models..
I believe that's the dates as well, although not 100% sure offhand.
@@MrSubaru1387 Ok, thank you
The d heads utilize the air pump. 05 and 06 ej255 use b heads like the early usdm sti without secondary air.
What are some driving symptoms for bad rear suspension bushings?
Mr. Subaru, i need help. On my newly acquired 2010 outback. My idle is fluctuating. And sometimes the engine bogs down hard before going back to idle. Do you if there is a idle air control valve. On this model year?
There isn't. Try a throttle body cleaning and idle relearn. I have videos on both.
@@MrSubaru1387 I cleaned the throttle body and did an Idle relearn. Took it out for a pretty long drive. And the idle seems a bit better. But the idle fluctuates just a tiny bit. Thanks for your help.
Is there a reason to only clamp the rear hose breather on the head?
Any videos on the p0420 catalyst codes?
Where do you purchase the Tokyo roki EJ oil filter at?
Japan. Lol
Timing
valve cover not cam
So I am currently piecing together a 2005 Forrester XT AT. and the oil cooler was really gunked up so as I was washing other parts I ran it out,cleaned it with some Dawn dish soap and let it dry in the garage do you think it would be safe to run that? or should I go ahead and order an aftermarket Mishi Moto oil cooler?
Do the turbos require high octane fuel?
Yes
I have a 2020 Subaru Legacy Premium. I have a problem. The driver door when I close it. Makes a hollow sound. All other doors have a nice thump sound. Can you tell why????
