Sick build man. I'm actually in the middle of doing an 02Q swap on an 07K for a friend. Definitely cool to see some of the progress you've made with the car! I'm actually building my vr6 turbo right now and seeing videos like these motivates me to finish it!

Love this style of video! Keep doing these!

Thank You, that was a interesting and detailed STI engine bebuild, i held my breath when you turned the key for the 1st time 👍 Au

Wow, this was amazing. Will be referencing this video soon after I pull mine!

Thank you guys so much for this video. There are plenty out there on how to disassemble an ej, but almost none on how to reassemble .

This is fantastic. Although I just scheduled my shop visit for a new engine, I've definitely saved this for the project car!

will be watching this if i ever grenade my motor!!! appreciate the work you guys have done on my sti swapped hawkeye!

Thank you guys so much for this!!!!!! You guys are amazing and have done so much for the Subaru community as a whole!

Hey guys thanks for giving me the confidence I needed to pull and strip my own motor to the short block. Video and explanation is 9/10, alot of helpful tips and tricks. Cameraman needs to be fired for his lack of focus at key parts tho 😂😂 jokes. Both guys are awesome and thanks again for this phenomenal breakdown of the EJ257 🤙💪

I know on a Cummins when they do a hot retorque. Let’s see you do that on a Subaru motor. IV tried to do one and the bolts moved a little but the time and heat I lost taking the motor out was all basically piece of mind.

Thanks. Many nice things here. How about a 600+hp shortblock in depth build next with clearance specs

Always wanted to make a stand that could lock into something to stop it moving when you got for those big torque numbers

you just saved meeeeee!!!!!

This was great! Can you do this on an FA?

always check for oil leaks with your fleshlight after first startup.

The laying on the floor under the car thing, i have done a million times!! hahah

For some reason I’m watching this and I’m a pro Subaru builder haha. I use an impact gun on cam gear and crank pulley removal. Otherwise you can let me know how the fight goes and the struggle to use the tool when my dewalt mid rang impact takes them off with 0 negative side affects. Just use the damn torque wrench when you put them back on. Like every bolt on the Subaru engine should be torqued to spec or again strip all the valve cover bolts, and the one that I see stripped mornthan any other bolt is the oil pickup tube flange bolts that mount it to the block. That will kill your motor. I on every build drill out the oil pickup mounting threads and use a long cert so I know for sure that the oil pickup won’t fail. This is the #1 cause of failure, people buy the killer b pickup tube to fix the oiling then create a problem over tightening the 8mm bolts and pulling the threads out of the aluminum. To cover it with silicone and then take it to me with rod bearing failure and when I show them that they try to blame me. And I’m like I didn’t build your motor how is this my fault. Sorry but you can’t reuse the crank or any parts in that motor now. And the killer b pickup tube you just destroyed by sucking up so much bearing material and sending it to the cams and ruining them as well.

I feel like there should have been more appearances made by a torque wrench.

Glad I’m not the only one who thought this, as well as the lack of torque sequencing on the cam carriers and caps, improper rtv amounts and routes especially with the carriers and oil pump. Great video for a novice but the seasoned builders will see a lot of “NO-NO’s. Im honestly surprised as OTL has a good rep, figured they would follow the book 100% butttt…..

Hey man great in depth video. I’ve got a couple of questions to ask. I’ve got a 1997 jdm wrx sti Impreza. I’ve replaced the head gaskets already as I was lifting the heads. Running 2 bar of boost with a g25/660 turbo and all supporting mods including water/injection. When I replaced them I had the heads resurfaced, pressure and crack checked and everything was as it should. I used RCM head gaskets and RCM extreme 11mm head studs. It’s about 12 months since and I’m now lifting the heads again. Cat drives fine under normal driving conditions only when using full boost does it push coolant into the overflow. Car has never overheated. I noticed in your video when you torqued the studs you said on high horsepower engines you torque to 150 ft/lb. Is that with the same arp studs or with the bigger 14mm version? My second question was about when you put the washers on you put lube on both sides but I watched a video with an arp representative who said to only lube the top side as it will cause a bearing affect and stretch the bolt? I’m hoping I can torque mine to a higher amount and alleviate this problem. Much appreciated for any advice.

Po302 2006 subaru sti with 146,000 miles .working my way to a compression and leakdown test

How long do you let the RTV cure for? Seems like you just fire it up the same day. I'm thought I always had to let it sit for close to 24hrs before running fluids.

Do you need to replace the turbo with a spun bearing?

I like the video very in depth. I wish you had better close up shots on some of the steps though. You describe it well but it's hard to see what exactly you're talking about.

How much it cost 2015+ wrx engine block rebuild?

OEM gasket vs a brand name aftermarket gasket ?

please note to not over torque the oil feed pipe from the oil filter that goes through the oil cooler, it can and will take part of your fresh new motor off with it if you ever need to take it out.

I’ll admit I forgot that line but I got it in without taking the timing off nor the covers. It is possible

I just built my Ra block engine, part of my build i regapped top rings to .018-.020" bottom rings .024"... Subaru had top ring .011-.013" top ring And bottom ring .021 Big mistake not regapping a Ra block.

No important order on torquing cam caps? The service manuals say otherwise.

took me 1 day to fully watch but i am confused on how you ran the car with no coolant, did you sub water if not doesnt that do damage to other parts like extreme fast temp increase

@Otl_grayson

4 ай бұрын

Hey thanks! You can start the car for 2-3 mins without coolant and you won’t damage anything. We do this just so if there happens to be an oil leak we can fix the problem without having to worry about if we’re going to have to open the cooling system. Just saves us a mess and wasted coolant!

@sssnake2332

I remember Cleetus making 1/4 mile passes without coolant and it was "okay". Cars don't need coolant until they reach like 200°F. The water pump can spin without fluid and it's unharmed.

i fell asleep how tf did i end up on a 2 hour long tutorial of building a car that i didn't even know existed

wrong,

I'm truly confused on when putting a timing belt or chain on any engine rather it's a Subaru or Toyota, Chevy !!! And your not using any specialty tool the belt our chain accidentally slipps how would it kiss a piston and bend a valve?? When a valve that is fully opened will spring back to its seated position !!!! THE only way I can see any valve being bent is on a interference engine that's running and the belt breaks our jumps. Thanks PLMK?

@sssnake2332

4 ай бұрын

Yes, as long as you don't rotate the crank, the valves won't kiss the pistons. When installing timing belt, the LH head needs valves opened to line up, and if you rotate the cams the wrong way, you can cause the intake and exhaust valves to collide.

I love the video but you're bumming me out again we need to build a time machine just for parts never-ending bringing back musclecars

not really a rebuild video as everything was already assembled more or less a video about installing heads on a short block, none the less still some useful info.
