What a legend you are. Making all of these excellent quality videos for us scrubs to watch and learn. It amazes me just how well you are making them, and also your skills and tireless knowledge. KZread's greatest DIY/educational/mechanical video making lord. Keep it up man, you have helped me understand a hell of a lot more than I previously had. And i'm 100% sure I am not the only one.

flavourboss absolutely correct! Because of Jafro, 4G63Swapped.com exists, and my love for the Mitsubishi brand. I too have learned they way of the DSM Yoda. Though my skills aren’t on his level, one day they will be. He needs to enter the contest on Power Nation so, this show can me syndicated! I watch and rewatch all these videos to sharpen my skills.

The diagnoses got its very own video. ;) I had to take it apart first before I could look at it... thus, the music video. :D

That is the greatest description in the history of youtube, well played sir.

Videos like this are why i feel in love, your choice of music on top of them amazing impact sounds all just fall together, i love watching every vid more than once!

I appreciate you taking your time to make/edit/upload all this material. I'm sure it's aggravating but I'm happy you take the time.

subscribed, so fast. I'm addicted to watching all your videos.

Description + ending were funny as shit. Nice work on the 7 bolt bro, keep that DSM alive!

I have seen this video like 50 times now, I watch it while I think about the things I want to do to my motor. I SERIOUSLY LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THIS, It literally gets my heart racing everytime. Good choice on the music too, perfectly done! THANK YOU!

I just wanted to thank you for this heart-felt comment 11 years ago. I feel you, bro. It's a crime that back then when I had all my wits and local facilities at 100% I didn't have the funding nor this fancy new camera. It's only because of people like you that I made it. Thank YOU! Everyone else is closed now, but I made it! And hell yeah, RojoDelChocolate on point strong, too! I think this is his finest work! Maybe mine as well?

Just about to pull the engine starting tomorrow. Bought the eclipse non starting, with need of new panels basically everywhere. It's been a slow and steady progress. I just started the engine today after replacing my fuel pump and other various missing parts earlier this year. Car started instantly, ran smooth, but lots of grinding. (Mind you I've never been this in depth on a vehicle ever) Major reason I bought it was because buying the broken down GSX was cheap, and the parts car GST was cheap too. So far it's been a huge and fun learning adventure and I'm always excited to keep at it with my free time. Still not sure if it's crank walked or if the valve train is euchred from the crank pulley shearing off.

Bud, great vid, I love watching tear downs, and the beats playing really is good, mad props. Keep up the awesome vids.

my mistake - I plopped this comment int eh channel section - it belongs here: Kinda wonder how big your grin is when you re-watch this - you have to know it is awesome and have a certain amount of pride - it just shows in your work, both in the garage and in the unique video editing style. Wicked nice job.

Jafro- Thanks for taking the time and posting such great videos. I've watched this at least a half dozen times, and some of the silly stuff is hilarious. My Talon has been sitting in the garage for three years now, but after watching these videos (and finally having some extra cash), I think I'm ready to pull the motor and try to fix it myself (I have a spun bearing). Keep up the good work!

You are my IDOL!! Thanks for this awesome demo!!

Ha you use your garage door for a spray paint tester just like I do.:D I can see the little spray spots on it at the very beginning of the video. I don't own one of these cars but I really like watching your videos because of the knowledge you have about these engines and cars and as a fellow gear head this is enjoyable to me.

@Jafromobile Great video dude! I've always heard of this "syndrome" but never got to see exactly what happens! Plus some of the high speed is funny.

Can't beat the factory gaskets and sealants for certain builds. I've used the OE composite HG and ARPs on most every build, OE sealants, and mitsubond!! Good for a leak free engine. Love the polished valve cover too. Sick.

Great video, thanks for posting something another Wrench can enjoy and not something just for newbies.

How have you not got more veiws?! Your videos are awesome

@jafromobile I realy do admire your skills and tech knowhow. You make everything seem so simple and easy yet its not so much for me with very little knowledge.. Thank you for your comment it makes total sense.. il be following your 6bolt build too your the only one who really takes time to document and share with excellent detail. Mybe il be looking for extra blocks in the junk yards. any tips would be highly appreciated. i know there are alot of articles about it but i'd rather hear it from you

Man you work fast!

If I was young, and needed a first car, I'd buy this one just because your videos are that good. Wow! Subbing with notes telling me to watch many more. I'd love to stream this in the garage while I am working on my ride!

man this is what gives me nightmares at times, literally. for a 7 bolt owner this would probably what hunts us. im not going to deny, it scares the hell outta me. ive read tons of articles of cw all over the internet however ive never seen it first hand so it gave me a peace of mind until i watched this vid :( ive been following your videos for referals of diy's and for the most part because you own, drive and race a 7 bolt.. On the contrary, i dont race my car but i do mountain passes for fun.

Another intriguing video. Although I've done this myself hundreds of times, I stayed to the end for the cookies!

cool teardown vid man

That was a great video description.

I am running a 6 bolt in my 98, I Also have been running a buchur 20g at 32 psi on the stock composit gasket for 25,000 miles, and everything in the motor is upgraded. I've had no issues with it whatsoever. I personally wanted the comfort of knowing the liquids would be going where they belong.

isnt the reason for 7 bolt crank walk the piston oil squirters? when they went to the 7 bolt they changed the way the valve worked for each squirter and they would get stuck open and since the oil for the squirters comes from the mains, thats why the crank walks, because the regular bearings dont need as much oil as the thrust bearing, and once the squirter valve cant close, the thrust bearing loses most of its oil out through the squirter. thats the best explanation Ive heard for it.

I always watch and marvel at what your doing, you never fail to impress me! seriously. Loved your music track too, very well suited. Take care and I'll wish you a very Merry Christmas - Seasons Greetings from England :-)

@Jafromobile this is a pretty helpful video. Im saying this because my friend is trying to convince me to swap a 4g63 in my mirage coupe. I may have to get an engine block without the cylinder head, but at least i can add some arp studs and a better head gasket on it. then maybe i can get a cylinder head with some crower stage 2 cams and some lighter pulleys and other things like that. keep up the inspiration Jafro.

Great video. Your videos helped me replace my Talon Transmission. If/when my engine blows up, I'll know where to turn to as well :)

Cool vid!

No i saw the metal flakes when u showed the oil pan. But it was just crazy to see how little carbon there was in the eng. Motor builds are missing from my Tool box of life. Its something i need to experience .I have dones lots of perf upgrades and more than a few swaps but no motor builds. I have started the hunt for another Legacy turbo project. I have a 06 STI motor and trans siting at my dads house along with lots of Perf parts . So i have the base. I need a good shell. Your VR4. GREAT FIND

Glad to help!

Oh wow, epic description!!

Great vid! I'm a recent subscriber and really love you vids.

I know I am late, but I love the Fresh Prince remix. Don't know what rainy day you started writting that one on but it turned out pretty nice. When we tore down my buddies 7 bolt his rod bearings looked the same and he had a ton of endplay. Happy building and I know that you will keep us posted. Robert

you good mechanic and good videos

lol! Never thought engine tear-down would be funny.. Good video! I get to see what actually happens in the bottom end.

Dude, you're awesome thanks a ton!! It's just the balance shaft on the right hand side that runs a long with the timing belt.

I agree i use mobil 1 syn in all my cars. Its the best. It dose not take a expert to see that that motor looked clean for 10 years of Racing street and dyno use. I am a Suby Guy at hart have been for years. I have done the hon da thing but always come back to Subarus. I own a 97 M3 now. But have really wanted to buy another turbo car. I want to go back to my 1st love a 93 Subaru Legacy Turbo. But i cant find 1 anywhere. Great channel great info and the DSM guys are super lucky to have u

6BOLT TIMEEEEE!!! (: Great another video. Once again i learned something new!! I appreciate it!!!!!

Awesome thanks bro

Wth! Thats some great editing!

great video im thinking about buying an eclipse gst or better yet gsx what are some of the things i need to look out for in the motor?

+1 for the awesome description

@jafromobile thanks for the detailed information. very useful. im leaning towards the oil jets vs oil squiters as i read much about the difference between the jdm evo blocks and usdm blocks (7bolt) is indeed a factor towards CW. however like you stated, any block can walk and there are many contributing factors to it not only limited on its design or bearing or material that the bearing/block is casted from. so hows the build coming up? good luck with it by the way and happy new year.

thanks a lot dude, Iam learning to do it by my self, and this vid is great, i can see everything step by step, I use a 6 bolt but i bellieve must be the same thing XD, thx again. adding to my favorites....

este tio es una pasada, buen video

Awesome video!! Looks like this build didn't leak a bit of oil!!

And don't feel bad about it. Pulled my motor when I bought my car and found cylinders 3 and 5 had spin rod bearings that looked almost exactly like yours

the description! hahah

@Jafromobile ...I noticed you ceramic coated yours. I've never had the stock ones crack, even wrapped.... but I'm tired of porting to make good flow. FP makes good stuff, and I have no doubt that beauty flows real good. I'm gonna get one for my 6 bolt Subaru 360.

Yes we are. Jafro's videos are the bomb-diggity.

this is awesome! i want to do this someday to an engine.

very good vid. a good bit of tinkering there to get the crank and rods out. was the engine starved of oil. that caused the shells to turn in the cap> or over revving.??

Do you by any chance have a tutorial video on how to polish? I remember seeing your valve cover and it looked amazing I'm trying to get the same finish on my exhaust for my motorcycle .

You da man jafro.

Knice clean tear down. It looked like someone blood poured glitter dow the dip stick tube. That 3rd bearing cylinder was so messed. I spun a rod bearing and I think it was due to crank walk. Just driving home one day stereo on as loud as I could get it and I push in the clutch f ar dies. I turn down the raido and let the clutch out and it sounded like a hammer k mmm ocking on a metal pot. Taking a turn at 50mph slung all the oil to the side of the pan and the inside tore spun and hit the rev limiter and I heard the engine strain and I relised what had happened.

Very informative man! I've got a 4G63 motor with about 1200 miles on it that is showing signs of "crankwalk" (Due to a machinist who didn't know what they were doing). I'm thinking about just getting a crate motor or something being that I just don't have the means (or a spouse with the patience) to do a weekend build like that.

I have an evo 4 with 142000km .Still runs great, I was wondering is there any good way to test for crankwalk to check for the probability if my car will crankwalk? An answer will be appreciated. Thanks.

A 6bolt turbo block with a 9k rpm spin balanced assembly should go back in your car....with a properly adjusted clutch you will never see crank walk again. Great vid bro, lots of memories :)

this is VERY helpful. makes me want to buy this guys 1g just so i can take it apart.

Manley parts r great we use a lot of them at my dads shop rods pistons cranks all of it great stuff

enjoyed the video. make sure you get every spec of metal out of the oil galleries. Non indexed bearing scare the shit out of me. Im dreading this when I build my duratec 2.0

the ending was awesome

loving this track. not many people use DNB in their videos like this. great video btw

@jafromobile very informative thankyou. just to clarify tho, the sirius 2 4g63 didnt come up until the evo 4 correct? my frend has the an evo 2 which still has the same 4g63 that the 2g have. (just incase u missed a couple of my early post prior to the one that youve replied to)

@jafromobile is this a 95' 7 bolt? Did they have the split thrust bearings this year? I'm asking because I have a 98' 7 bolt

Hey jafro keep up the awesome job I enjoy watching your videos. Question I seen in one of your videos the adjustable hats for the Colt but can't remember the maker and part number . Do you remember the maker of the hat I've searched all over but can't get a lead, can you help out

Your videos are interesting and inspiring. I like your attention to detail. I love the sound track. Did you make this or can it be purchased somewhere?

@Jafromobile Great! Hope to see the video soon...

Sub'd. and I've never even owned a DSM... great vid.

Wow, That was very interesting and i learned alot so thanks. I so wish there were more mechanics like you. Seems most dont know crap or cost way to much for me. I'm so afraid my 2 g spyder will crankwalk like my other 2g did. Isn't there something people can do to help prevent this from happening. All the dsm guys with all these crazy things to make fast and help our cars and we can't come up with a solution for this crap ruining our engines? Thicker oil, thinner oil, oil additive? Anything?

Crankwalk ? are you sure ? it sounds like the 2g are notorious for that but : I would say lack of oil leading to bearings destruction the worst was the center one the crankwalk is the consequence only i think. bearings do not flip in their bore unless seizure caused by lack of lubrication you should check your oil squirters if they are clogged up. once clogged up the stay open and drop the oil pressure in the main gallery wich lead to poor lube of the main bearings and cause a seizure....

Thanks much for your advise. Last Question. When I do the junk yard technique presented by you in blue print video, i can find out end play using feeler gauge or digital gauge, if end play is within servicable limit, does that mean that Main bearing or Rod bearing is good, if hope not if thats the case is there a way to check with engine in car.

i really like that intake alot. magnus does great work on their intake mani's. did you do your own egr valve work? or is that done by a manufacturer?

I was having clutch issues for quite some time on my 6bolt pulled trans to change fork and pivot ball and then for shits and giggles tried to move flywheel back and forth and guess what it moved quite a bit🤬 so its been sitting for a year now because i lost interest in my 1G at that moment, thank goodness i have a 2G and S13 also. One day i will get to fix it

Hi Jafromobile! My Eclipse 2G 95 GST, suffered crankwalk some months ago. So now i have a crankwalked 7 bolts crankshaft and i want to take some measures of it to have an idea of failure and why my Eclipse get crankwalked. Do you know where i can find OEM crankshaft specifications? Thanks!

quick question is the bolt that holds the dipstick tube on an m10 x 1.25?
