Great instructional video. There’s so much to like aside from the helpful knowledge transfer. I like the picture-in-a-picture two mechanic view, the use of personal protective gear and head lamp, great camera work, pleasant background music, excellent lighting, the emphasis on safety and longevity, the light humor (“This guy here”), and finally the lack of unnecessary shenanigans. Bravo - I’ve smashed the Subscribe button.

Jeff - my apologies for not getting back sooner as we were on vacation. It was great to connect with you, and I'm excited to hopefully get your bus on the build schedule! Thanks so much, and talk soon!

They do, generally don't use it as much. And it sometimes will hit the shifter when the e-brake is pulled and the shifter is in park.

What about the ignition key.. do you need the key barrel for the computer to run engine?
@themodernbayco 7 ай бұрын
Great question! If you're running [generally] pre-2005 USDM Subarus that are drive-by-cable instead of drive-by-wire, you don't need items such as the key barrel, or the body-integrated unit and gauge cluster that all need to be matched to the coded ECM on later model vehicles. If you do use later model, CANBUS donors, you'll need some or all of those additional items. That's why we generally stick with pre-2005 models!

@themodernbayco 10 ай бұрын
I will try and get it in a video soon, but for now: it just takes some patience. After filling the system you just have to run the engine for a bit, let it cool, top it up, rinse and repeat. It always takes a little longer than expected, but a little patience goes a long way we have found.

It's always a pleasure watching your videos. Regarding the sump, the design of these are awful since there is no baffles or pipe for the oil mist return channel. This makes the crank vent system malfunction since crankcase pressure enters the return system. I have shortened the oem sump and added a 8mm steel plate on both sides of the sump so that it's almost impossible to hurt the sump. Can share pictures if you are interested. 👍
