SUBARU Engine Rebuild - EJ20 / EJ25 Teardown How To

What chassis should we put this engine into when we rebuild it?

Watching a great mechanic is kinda like watching a world class surgeon work. Amazing talent.

God I wish I could have done an apprenticeship during the time of the EJ series of engines

This video just makes me appreciate how easy American OHV V8 based engines are to work on,specifically the LS platform...

Just to add a quick note, the LH cam gears that are loaded are easy to mess up and bend the valves, they didnt do it the right way. The intake gear needs to be spun clockwise, the exhaust gear needs to be spun counter clockwise. Most of the time you can get away with doing it like they did but theres enough spring pressure that if one of the gears slips it will catch the edges of the valves and will easily bend them, and no one ever checks after they do it which can lead to the car running like crap, or turning the valves into a tossed salad.

Nam is a wizard he made this tear down like a chore .Many yrs of experience right there

Today I learned that I infact don't want to build a Subaru engine. Nam is a Subaru god great job and finesse.

Awesome vid guys. Thanks for sharing. Love the content on this project so far!

Despite of the beautiful works on the rebuilt, your cinematic shoot is absolutely amazing. Especially those timelapse, always fascinating.

I love the way You teach. Thank You so much!

Very interesting. I never would have thought to dismember the rods from the pistons to complete a tear down. However the access ports for the wrist pin clips was pretty neat!

Subaru flat motors are a lot like harley or other older vtwin style engines that have vertically split cases. Thats pretty neat to see how it breaks down to such a small engine block that a guy can move it around on the table.

I have been driving n working on Subaru for the last 31 years

really good video quality. straight to the point and informative

Very refreshing watching a mechanic that is able to explain things in detail without pausing every 3 seconds to figure out what they're actually doing, or not knowing any of the terminology to describe the function of a component

I’d love to rebuild one after watching this! A good challenge

Goodness. It's like a Japanese puzzle box!

Best automotice channel hands down!

Yes sir I have a special hardened socket just for the head bolts used to do at least one or two head gasket and engine reseal on Subarus a week I have just a little experience!

Great explanation by the bloke, good job guys!
