Seriously

That "beep" on the LH cam sprocket got me 🤣🤣🤣

The one thing I would add to this procedure is to turn the engine over by hand for 2 full revolutions and check the timing marks again, before reinstalling the cover. It's a handy way to ensure all the slack is taken out of the belt and that you still have all the sprockets in position. A little too much slack in the bottom of the belt, and you'll end up with one bank about a tooth out of position. I know it's probably not an _absolute_ requirement if everything was done perfectly, but it's always best to be extra sure before firing the engine. And it only takes a minute or two - cheap insurance, I reckon. :-)

Nam’s is a great teacher. Clear speaking and soft spoken. Only a guru gives an interview in nitrile gloves with torque specs at the front of every sentence. Thanks!!!

Procharged 4.3 V6 S10 guy here... I love this video. Had the Timing kit on hand for the 02 WRX I bought last summer... 161K on original belt... Yikes. Love these little boxer engines. Power per cubic inch is insane... Easy to work on. VIDEO IS AWESOME... It made total sense to me. Watched it 3 times just to make sure I had it down pat. Thanks Speed Academy!!!

I wanted to take a minute to thank you for posting this video. You saved my butt resetting the driver side cams after they slipped changing my timing belt

Nam is awesome! Clear, easy to follow! He should have his own channel! Good job Nam!

Thanks guys! This helped me a ton. A little note for people with V1 JDM motors (Mine's an EJ20G): You will need to either re-use or find a different (older style) tensioner. Besides that, everything else will work!

Just what I was looking for with Nam presenting a video, because I'm doing my timing belt and associated parts today!

Best install video i have seen on youtube. Mad props to the tech for explaining everything as he went.

Just done my own belt on my 2001 subaru forester turbo, couldn't have done it without this guide! Huge thanks.

Thanks guys. Just finished my timing belt using this video. Never thought I could. Really appreciate your efforts

Did your engine explode? This video was a speed run of the entire process and people in the comments are saying how detailed it was when it really wasnt

Thanks a lot! this video helpded a lot. finished the job last night. That spill-free funnel is SO worth the 30 bucks

Great video! Very Detailed and straightforward. I helped my buddy do his timing chain in just a few hours. Did the spark plugs while we were at it, and that took longer lol

Best video I have found on how to do this. The other guys who have made videos on this need to watch this video and ease their pain a bit! Thanks

The word “double check” makes me confident with this professional mechanic. Great info and clear explanation 👍😀

I don’t even own a Subaru, but can’t miss a speed academy video! Can’t wait to see an update on the badass2000!

good for you and in all honesty never buy one either, they are nothing but problems. cheaply made subaru is just coasting on reputation. its a hill i am willing to die on after owning 3 subarus - never again

Very good video! I had removed the gearbox and the flywheel for another repair on a GC8 so I saw straight away the problem of removing the crank pulley. To do so I fabricated a special tool which holds the pulley from the 4 holes and the same time the socket can reach the bolt. It was also designed as such that it can remove the pulley by just moving away the fans without removing the radiator and coolant.

Thank you for this video! Got my timing belt, water pump, thermostat, tensioner and idlers changed and now my car is running good!

Nicely done. Prob the best how-to video on the EJ timing belt. Really shows how 'not that daunting' it is. 🤙

Great production quality. One of the best how-to videos I've ever seen.

I wish he can be my mentor as I start to learn more about my Subie. I love how thorough he is. Thank you Speed Auto for the video! I’m about to do my belt soon and will need this video. Update I started my belt job and I think I will need that tool for the two belts that goes to the ac and alternator.

Proper video mates, good edits, good camera work, plain and simple with useful tips. A menu of tools at the end would be nice.

Thanks for making this really professional level guide.

Great video. I really appreciate it when people take the time to walk through and explain how these type of things are done even though I’d still farm out this kind of job.

This video was perfect. I used a Dayco belt and it also had the timing marks on the belt. Managed to have the belt on in under 10 minutes by myself. Thank-you - Subscribed.

We are gonna do this on my Impreza 2008 non-turbo this weekend. I'll use this video, thanks a lot

I've loved you guys for the mullet mustang and have used plenty of those vids to dive deep on repairs for my 3V. I was ecstatic to see that you guys also have vids on EJ engine Subarus after I just bought a Forester XT a few days ago that needs some work

Nam seems like such a cool dude. Thanks for the excellent breakdown of how to do this guys!

thank you for this video!! confident now that changing a t-belt on a flat engine is not as scary as my tech buddies made it out to be.

Amazing, Thanks to your video I was able to do my replacement on a 2009 Impreza El15 DOHC engine. Hurray!!

From Puerto Rico, thanks fully. Your description was excellent.

I just did this to my 2010 wrx ej25 ,the video was a great guide. Had a problem, someone put a weaker bolt on my water pump and it broke 🥲... it had a numer 4 on it... the rest of water pump bolts got a 9 stamped, it looks like he grabbed same length and size bolt from the timing cover Just make sure guys you don't mismatch your bolts ! Thanks again for this great video

Great tech! knows his stuff!

Glad to see it worked out I did them a bit differently at the dealer. Looking at the engine from the front I used those black spring paper clamps to hold the belt at the correct mark on the left bank, leave the clogged gear and the tiny gear off all others in place. Then belt over the crank held with a plastic friction clamp. Set both right side cam gears on top of the closest lobes so they don't spin out then use clamps to hold the belt on respective marks tucking excess belt between the cam gears, now the belt can't slip. Grab the belt by the water pump and pull and all the slack goes there for installing the cogged gear there then push down on the belt by the tensioner to pull the slack there rolling the cams and pulling slack there for the last idler, double check marks and pull the tensioner pin.

That was a great video guys, really liked the format

Nam is the man; I like how thorough he was on the marks.

Hands down the best video on youtube for subaru timing belt replacement

Excellent video, gives enough confidence who want to try it DIY

Please do more Subaru stuff!

Did mine today. Thanks for the walk through. Great vid

Nice tips and tricks in this video. Really helped me with my job. Thanks buds!

Thank you for the video, I'm facing the prospect of needing to do this to my wrx and was wondering how difficult it would be to do myself. I talked with some people at car meets I go to with subarus of their own and they kept saying how you would have to take the engine out. I found that pretty ridiculous so good to know its possible without doing so.

Thank you for posting this! Going to do a timing belt kit on a JDM EJ205

An easy thing I like to do when installing timing belts, is to use a small clamp to hold the belt on the cam gears. It's just enough tension to hold the belt from slipping off as you snake the belt onto all of the pulleys so you can use both hands.

Great stuff, very useful. Don't think I'll get around to getting a scooby but still have learnt something.

Such a great thorough explanation. THANK YOU!

Cracking on with this tomoz. If I start it at 9am I should be done in time for breakfast at 9.15 👍👍

Did my 2014 STI last weekend. Your video helped guide me through the entire procedure.

the technician is master 👏🏽 I love how he explain the steps ☺️ full mark this video

This video is worth it just for the reminder to mark the belt. I often forget this amazing tip.

Excelente video tutorial, clarisímo. Excelente guia, buenos tips. GRACIAS!

So much easier then I expected im bout to buy a 07 2.5 auto impreza wagon I really think it needs a timing belt but i was debating on buying it because of the belt needing replaced but now i see its not as bad as i thought think you for this video much appreciated

That is a really good video! Thanks heaps for the awesome amount of detail!

what a fantastic shop as well as the technician!

Nice video makes it a lot easier to follow

Love watching the pure Canadian content. I'm going to be doing my 04 XT's belt soon, and figured I should give this a watch. NVAuto was a pleasant treat too. I enjoyed seeing the types of tools Nam was using to complete the job. Electric ratchet > air ratchet.

This video is greath thanks! More Subaru content please. I will definitely do this myself next time.

Woaw, beautiful video, step by step. Thank you 😯

Thank you so much for your videos! Just did the timing belt on my 06 legacy and your video helped me out a lot! Thanks again! Cheers!
