How to rebuild a Subaru Engine l Subi-Performance EJ25/EJ20

[@anthonyfell77]

This is how a Subaru performance engine SHOULD be rebuilt.

[@yeezywesty3651]

all that work and then someone's going to treat it like a cheap whore

[@trentsmith4465]

Your work station is so meticulously clean and well laid out i could swear you were an aircraft mechanic Would love a version with a voice over explanation.

[@Nwrig004]

Love the attention to detail but this is also why I would buy an assembled SB to save on some of the labor hours involved with this rebuild. Great measurement work and neat workspace!

[@OfficiallyGuChi]

Im only 5 minutes into this video. I have this feeling that.. makes me feel i can safely trust this guy if he performed work on my engine.

[@brianr987]

This channel was good in beginning. Now we are looking at someone looking through filing cabinets

[@SubiPerformance]

Brian Smith hey brian, tell me what do you want? what should I change so that you are happy?

[@ВасилийПавлов-л8т]

с детства мечтаю собрать сам двигатель, в гараже стоит блок от легаси под капиталку, учусь по вашим видео...Люблю субару...Делайте еще больше видео, вы настоящий профессионал!!!!!!!!!!

[@V8dadmartin]

man this is a dream job for me, working for a performance company and just moving up to maybe make my own performance company or become a master mechanic to a team

[@1psnf276]

Why wish just do it

[@fatkat2315]

Hey Subi. Could you please describe in detail the measurements you make on the crankshaft and then in the crankcase tunnel please? Are you checking for the same measurement or to check if its perfectly round? A video to explain would be great! 👍

[@CrashPilot1000]

Mir fehlt da die Ahnung, aber herzlichsten Dank, dass Du dieses Video gemacht hast! Für mich hat das etwas meditatives.... ein blöder Spruch fällt mir zur Erheiterung noch ein: "wer viel misst, misst viel mist" ...

[@mobilemechanic2304]

Great video it cleared my mind on the last minute I'm Buildings a ej25 new pistons and polished crank because the machinist said it was good. And the other day when I finished I was turning the crank and I heard that roar noise as the pistons travel in and out... I thought something was wrong haha.

[@TheMrFlyBoy18]

Some explanations to the build would be very helpful and appreciated for future videos bro. Nicely done. Bravooo! 2007 Hawkeye sti

[@patrickwilt3125]

Wow such attention to detail please please please more build videos, subscribed!

[@cikguauto5441]

Your accurancy is very well evry part calibrate up to fine tolerance, im from malaysia subaru service MSS , i love to work with your team.

[@forrestcarroll9350]

I'll be rebuilding my spare '05 LGT EJ255 in a couple of months. Here's to hoping it goes this smoothly!

[@30minutesLess]

Forrest Carroll it never does lol have fun

[@andy49393]

That tool you used for measuring the small end diameter is badass. I need that

[@jonny2js]

Subscribed for life!!! You are dropping some serious Subaru knowledge...AND not a word, not like every other KZbinr who can't seem to STFU. Anyway, awesome job!

[@maurorey6637]

Good video. But A “How to” should include some description as to what you are doing so everyone can understand the process and what tolerance you are looking for on each item

[@OdessaSergey]

за то что перемерил перед сборкой, респект и уважуха👍👍👍👍👍

[@Cossack888]

Братан, а чё это за перемерка и для чего...? А то я как баран на новые ворота...

[@Booki89]

What did you do your PTW clearance at? Fantastic video to watch. Gives me hope that there are actually people out there who can do this PROPERLY!

[@Hanibul_Lecktor]

Owner didn't go for the hot tank option ? Great video man, busting your balls.

[@robk5745]

Beautiful work, you’ve helped inspire me to learn this thoroughly and do it myself.

[@KDD8]

Hey Subi Performance this is an awesome video! I wish there were subtitles that I can turn on with a brief description of what the engine builder is doing. :') 💖💖💖

[@andy49393]

This is cool. Im a mechanic. This is like asmr to me. You just get to hear the noises of the metal hitting against the bolts. It’s nice. Working in the field really makes you not like videos where the people talk and are really dramatic about simple stuff. This one is for us.

[@mirkoghostdriver7082]

Hab euch zufällig gefunden durch alte rally videos mit subis und direkt mal nen abo rein gehauen.😀

[@troyfankell6581]

Nice video. I like Mitutoyo measuring tools as well.

[@jamesgraves3771]

Very good and meticulous. Only big no-no I was not checking the main and rod bearings when compressed to torque spec (yes, it is actually how bearings are suppose to be measured). Also I'd say the shop measuring equipment used is far flashier and extravagant than required. Bolt stretch gauge in lieu of torque isn't really applicable at the HP this engine can put out. Nothing wrong with going above and beyond though if able. Good work!

[@06wrxRAR]

amazing. Theres a ej255 for sale I wanted to get. watching this video gives a good idea what to expect. equivalent weight distribution along the rod end and piston.

[@tojiroh]

This is a lesson in Metrology! :-) Kind of hoping of seeing a closed deck mod, maybe next time, eh?

[@TheSondan]

sehr interessant, hab noch nie gesehen wie ein Boxer 4 zyl. zusammen gebaut wird.! top .!!

[@Sam-rf8yh]

What a beautiful shop.

[@arielpaez1763]

Tremendo laburo!!!! Muy bueno. Saludos desde Argentina.

[@MrNemeschiss]

Schöne Arbeit 👍 warte bis bei meinem 257 mal was hochgeht, dann kommt er zu besuch bei dir 😂👍

[@TakeDeadAim]

Lol! The engine building/machine shop I work at certainly doesn't look like that operating room!lol!

[@graham2631]

Never thought to weigh each end of a con rod. That is a interesting looking crank..... You have a few techniques I'd love some description of. So how fast can this engine twist? Nice work

[@gordonendicott5114]

Nice clean room I like that

[@barryandjenny1]

The shop foreman on the chair has seen it all before !

[@Theleftroad]

I am in the process of rebuilding my 2.2. Never done it before. Your video helps tremendously. By the way, I like your shirt! Where can I get one?

[@MrSokkermasta]

This is one of those oddly satisfying videos

[@edwardolopez3368]

I really like the video quality and attention to detail, but I would appreciate some information on what he is looking for and some info for a novice.

[@RobertSavello]

find the subaru mike video for that kind of info.

[@Tedlasman]

Robert Savello link?

[@g6et_wrx177]

Edwardo Lopez here you go kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5jQpXiHZqyjo6M

[@zitasaza1zitasaza15]

Eduardo look at my videos you will find the information you need from beginning to end.

[@patrickfitzwater5511]

@@g6et_wrx177 what a small world. I've always seen these videos on Carey Holzman's page but never watched them. I just recently got a 02 outback and have been interested in Subaru's lately

[@primozdornik8069]

Great video! I am wondering why you put oil on the bolts tho.

[@akisrodriguez6959]

This was like some ASMR, couldn’t find myself clicking out of the video

[@harrym7732]

Finde es sehr gut und es macht mir auch spass solche videos zu sehen. Aber mit etwas mehr stimme und komentaren warum du was wie machst wäre geil gewesen. Trotzdem cool von dir👌 Lg aus wien✌

[@ilusion2030]

Este é o tipo de trabalho que dá gosto de ver e aprender.

[@jimdailey1018]

I have NEVER seen an engine more complex than that one. For me, unbelievable.

[@its-ascencio1351]

You’ve never seen the 2.7 twin turbo from Audi?

[@asdf072xxp]

I've always wondered how you put in the connecting rod pins for a boxer engine

[@juliecats812]

Great video! I recently had the short block replaced in my 2009 Subaru Forester XT due to excessive oil burning. A week after I got my car back from my Subaru dealership, I can still smell the oil. Is it because the new parts are still breaking in or the job wasn't done right? Thank you for your time.

[@leukota]

If it's not second hand, lay off the throttle so much. Subarus go through oil, the older they get the more they burn. You'd have to pull the pistons out and replace the rings to mitigate the oil consumption.

[@user-lz3sv5sw9u]

It could be the turbo seals leaking oil, try checking those if you haven't already

[@DanTheManIOM]

Even love the work space ! Inspires me to raise the bar.

[@99Lezard99]

Schöne Arbeit. Wenn Tim seinen Wagen zu dir bringt hat das schon was zu heißen. 👌 Geile cap btw. Bubba war sein bester Freund...😢😆

[@baegles4208]

I just subscribed. I really like your content 👌

[@SubaMAN13]

I whant that you rebuild my ej255)) Very good job!

[@LabiaLicker]

Would be great to get an equipment list of all the things you used in the video. From gauges to lubricants and whatever you had in that sprayer bottle.

[@DarienDrakee]

Pretty sure it's break cleaner based off how fast it evaporates. (Spray bottle).

[@boobrowsky]

If you want to do this you need to use service manual where you have your list and all specs too.

[@demetrisa.8571]

Nice work! Can you put links of the tools you used in the description?

[@nakyiahcaballero7180]

Dam this whole time I just slapped that shit together this is who you actually pay to build your motor!

[@talalabdulaziz316]

I'm building an EJ20 turbo from scratch, this is impossible to do haha, how am I supposed to do balancing at home ! I don't have these tools ! Great Video .

[@ZeddyThaMaster]

think you can most times add a balance service before you purchase the items

[@darrenwells7216]

OK so he measured everything didnt actually adjust anything and then put it together. he just blueprinted. If you buy a new crank. Use a good condition case halves. Buy quality brand new rods. quality engine bearings. have the machine shop set your piston to wall clearance to the pistons you bring in. itll work.

[@30minutesLess]

ZeddyThaMaster I think it has to be balanced according to the Pistons weight. I was told all cars are balanced in the sense to maintain well at low Rpms. It’s when your gonna be running high rpms for long periods of time is when a pure balancing act is needed.

[@dylanjames4196]

got to take it to a machine shop and they will balance it for you

[@ИринаГордеева-в1р]

Таксы, украшение этого видео и прекрасной работы мастера!

[@10luciano1000]

Crankshaft need cheking in 2 position or 90 degrese may be ovalization .

[@jonarne85]

Could you give us the details about the mesuring tools you used? They looked very professional

[@SubiPerformance]

They are from Mitutoyo.

[@Cruzon63]

Quick Question for those who’ve done this before: do you have to waste a set of case bolts just to check the case clearances? Or can they be reused? Can I use the old ones to do this?

[@chrisfisker]

Hey, nice video first of all, i have a couple of questions, the thing he is putting on the bolts, the liquid at 3 minutes, is it oil or something else? and also the pink/red thing he is putting on at the crankshaft, what is that?

[@Exp_XIII]

This may sound weird, but i actually wished someone made a Lego like manual for Engine block Rebuild....now that id invest in.

[@guntherbrixey6439]

Nice video. Still glad i went with ASF Machine out of Grand Junction though for my build/rebuild. If it's not through IAG the only other option for a solid engine is ASF. Subi Performance is definitely my 3rd choice but easily could be #1 since they do full service work like ASF Machine. Well done guys! Killing it like always!

[@dennisleslie]

Step 1: Strip the head bolt threads out of the block. Step 2: Throw block in the trash.

[@mariomoreno9954]

17:18 Could you please tell us what kind of grease did you add to bearing..it is the most immportant lubrication: first lubriation that will difere the life of the cranckshft and bearings, Excellent work!!

[@guanjie9736]

This is a great video, well done dude! I wouldn't mind watching it all, without you speeding up parts of the footage though! :)

[@hamper116]

Still more simple than BMW timing

[@Jason_Laster]

That bubba gump hat...10/10

[@WaniuszY]

Did piston rings come pre-gapped? Out of everything you measured I didn't see you touch them

[@DanTheManIOM]

On another video, I saw the guy check each one. One was tight and he had this little wheel tool thing you turned by hand and you fed the open end ring into the vertical wheel like a tile saw...

[@warster321]

15:11 the double target torque wrench!!! amazing!!! IF ONLY THE ELBOW DIDN'T OBSCURE EVERYTHING HAPPENING......... TWICE

[@raulsanchez6864]

Really Really nice video!!! 💪 Greetings from Perú!!

[@Mike_44]

Hi Andi, long time fan of your videos here. I want to overhaul my ej255, it has 210K miles. Everything seems fine now, just has high mileage. If I split the block to replace the bearings, do I need to rehone the center where the crank shat goes?

[@HuStLes-vz9qw]

so good, just needs a voice over or subtitles! I would love to have gotten a better understanding of what was going on at some points

[@mikew.inversegravitycraft]

Before putting the cylinder case back together do you have to place silicone between it or you leave dry

[@notajuan2420]

What were all the fluids he used? The yellow stuff I guess is a lubricant to help the threads go in, but what is the pink/red "glue" he used?

[@pedritoc.c.t.665]

Hello nice video is ther any comptete kkts flr sale . so we can buy it and juat take the head and block to get it check and we do the rest?

[@sauberclips2436]

14:11 He got us

[@alltheboost5363]

I used to be a huge fan of the ej257 but the stock engine couldn't even handle putting down 400 to the wheel. They're made out of pixie dust and glass.... they're Heartbreakers.

[@gammalight1312]

What an awesome yet painful to watch video!

[@gammalight1312]

Dario de nero heh it's a really quiet, suto "nails on the chalkboard" kinda video. It was a good procedure but I couldn't sit through all of it, so no, my balls remain free of nails fortunately lol.

[@BrainDamageBrian]

2x speed helps

[@gazza116]

crankshaft should have been mounted horizontal for measuring,no side deflection on micrometer then.1st thing taught to me in my apprenticship in the engine reco part .

[@anoncanon1100]

words, syllables, sound

[@FruddyG]

This is why I bought a built shortblock then did everything else myself ahah

[@boostin1713]

.: Freddy G' :. so what did you end up doing

[@FruddyG]

I bought a built shortblock from IAG called Stage 2 Tuff. Currently running stock turbo, 1050cc injectors, 250 walbro, Cobb intake, catless turbo back, flex fuel kit. 385 WHP and 475 torque! Super fun, reliable street car. Horrible MPG on E85 though

[@RomanNamorr]

Es macht richtig Spaß dir zuzusehen, Hut ab vor deiner Arbeit! Wie lange hat diese Instandsetzung etwa gedauert?

[@SubiPerformance]

Gute 8 Stunden.

[@master5676]

Moin, Top Arbeit von dir 👍 Warum werden die Pleuel gewogen ?

[@SubiPerformance]

hi um die oszillierende massen anzugleichen und die belastung auf den Kurbeltrieb zu verringern :)

[@timothycain672]

And at the Subaru factory they will build over 800 of engines in an eight hour shift

[@ManKetnas]

was hat es mit den Waagen auf sich, warum wird das Gewicht ermittelt ? Schönes wenn auch ruhiges Video, vielen Dank !

[@SubiPerformance]

Die oszillierende masse wird angeglichen um die belastung des Kurbeltrieb zu vermindern.

[@TheCrazySquirell]

I've got to ask, why are you oiling the head bolts? I was under the impression that doing so would cause the same torque to over tighten the engine? Surely you just need a tiny bit of copper anti seize?

[@HollomanUFOLanding]

Potentially amazing video ruined by no narration.

[@miriamvivo4279]

Excelente , thanks for showing

[@NoPainNoBrainNoShame]

great work dude

[@ساهرالليل-ر4ق]

[@j.mckeewa2033]

This video is very interesting, but more austere than French Economical Policy.

[@R2D2trashcan]

J. McKeewa that’s what I find refreshing about it. Not having to listen to brash Americans talk shit for 30 minutes is very soothing.

[@j.mckeewa2033]

Yeah, true, but a good ol' jazz chilling song could be great ^^

[@carpsub]

nice... at 3.30 there is a round brown gasket right on the bottom of the picture. For what is it used and how many pieces you need please? Thanks a lot.

[@modernwar2ghostrp]

I think it's the coolant gasket for the case halves. Like the black ones but for coolant

[@modernwar2ghostrp]

At 18.40 you can see the place it goes next to the black gaskets but larger

[@HansKruus-gt2ch]

So Cool!

[@zitasaza1zitasaza15]

El nombre de la grasa para ensamblar porfavor!!!Se mantiene mas limpio el motor que usando aceite.

[@WickedCrispy]

Weird question: can I use a WRX / STI EJ257 shortblock with the EJ253 SOHC? Can you foresee any issues with mating things up? I figure all I'd have to do is swap in a WRX subframe cross member into a 2.5i chassis and then it would open up a lot of opportunities. I do not want to swap in a full WRX engine with DOHC heads (and wiring). I just thought since my engine has over 200k miles on it I could stick a tougher block in and maybe turbo it for the lulz. I'm sketchy on what might not line up. I know the oil sump and pan might cause an issue?

[@aaronmonke6825]

It's only a two bolt bottom end???

[@Gymkhana86]

It would be very useful if you could do a voice over on this video describing some of the purposes of what you are doing.

[@dysonspreybar4903]

I kinda like the science. Just watching his craft is awesome

[@h-rttv7374]

Nope

[@illysium263]

he is just measuring clearances. stuff cant be too loose, or too tight. every engine is going to be different so this wouldnt help too much

[@bonzaleto]

He doing a process called blue printing the engine if something is to Heavy or out spec it could cause catastrophic failure care must be taken to insure it does not rattle it's self apart

[@harryfahrtdenwagenvor5202]

......das nenne ich mal Handwerk vom Feinsten. 👌
