You remind me of Edd China on Wheeler Dealers. He would do one job and then put all the pieces back on. And then remove the same pieces to do another job. Great teaching technique in case a person only watches one video.

I just did this job on my '17 Forester on the drivers side. Pretty much identical to this. Cleaning off the old RTV is a nightmare. I used headless bolts screwed into the fuel rail cover holes as alignment pins to replace the cover. Putting the front of the vehicle on ramps and removing the plastic skid plate helped for getting at those bottom bolts and for cleaning off the old RTV.

I'm so happy Mr.Subaru bought this Outback. We have two of these in our family, and they need a lot of similar work done. A few days ago I changed the spark plugs on mine, but had a hard time putting back on the rear ignition coil pigtails, it just wouldn't go all the way in. Looked like the internal red rubber seal inside the pigtail connectors either swelled up or got loose. After half an hour fighting with it I just decided to pull the seal out, and connect without it. Hopefully this will cause any issues in the future.

easy-ish lol I did chuckle a bit at this ;) I changed plugs on my 2014 outback and it had dry plug holes :) [wow I was happy about that!] my sisters 2011 outback had a little oil [about a 1/4" ] in the drivers side. [ugh] I hadnt seen a vid on this, but thought that was bad. before removing the plug I Sprayed brake cleen down there & blew it out [messy] then wiped with paper towels to be sure. the front plug hole had a little oil there [So I repeated the clean up] & told my sister what I found. she told me to just put it back together so she could drive it [eek] so I did. . . a couple years later It still running good - so there it is I recommended she have a shop do the seal work, But now I see you do it - "maybe" I can do it. with the extra time to do it. I have a shop n tools. just need to buy those little hands and while In at buying stuff, might as well order longer fingers too ;) I was super glad my 2014 was good. I keep the engine bay clean, So it "looks" better anyway ;) I sure appreciate your video's and bought myself a few tools as I see those I needed. do wish my hands were smaller. Your Engine bays have more room than mine does :) Thank you for making it look easier - ish ;)

Mistake at 7:45 mark. The FSM states that after the crank pulley timing mark is lined up with the 0 degree mark on the chain cover the crankshaft then gets rotated 180 degrees clockwise from that point. That fact was left out of this video.

I've got a 2015 also, found that my misfire issues like yours was actually due to a failing coil pack on the cylinder closest the battery. Dealer had recommended checking this one as they mentioned that they have seen a high failure rate on that specific cylinder. Also changing plugs on this model has to be one of the hardest on any Subaru, I've done , due to that battery mount

thank you so much, i was dreading doing the spark plugs on my 2013 Crosstrek, it was actually super easy, the only trick i can add is dont click the ratchet all the way onto the extension or itll be hard to hit the button to unlock it while pulling it back at the same time... or just use a ratchet that doesnt lock the sockets on... either way, all i needed was a 8mm socket, 10mm shallow socket, 10mm deep socket, i used a regular old Husky 3/8th ratchet to break the plugs loose then used my Tekton super compact 3/8 to spin it out more then just spun it with my fingers on the 3" wobble extension (wobble makes it a lot easier to get in and out without taking the extension out of the 14mm spark plug socket with spring retainers... with your guidance i had it done easily without any spearing in well under an hour. one thhing that concerns me, the coils seemed faily "plugged in" to the spark plugs when i removed them, but when i put them back, they didnt really pop on, they felt like they kinda just butted into the holes and were fully dependent on the bolts to keep them from literally falling out... car ran better than before though when i fired it up so seemingly runs fine... the old plugs had hardly any center electrode left, and the outer electrodes were all very eroded as well, color was good, just a light browning... car has 197K miles on in, plugs havent been changed since the last under warranty scheduled maintenance (if ever)... they looked really really worn out... like a tiny little sliver of electrode, barely even visible... like the tip of a sewing needle... 20-25% of new width approximately and about double or triple the gap... 3 of my plug well seals are leaking though... and one camcover in another place... not terrible leaks, but definitely weeping a tad.. which is why im here... ha... also on the menu are front and rear CV axles, wheel bearings and brakes... most of the parts are sitting on my living room waiting to be installed... shes also due for another oil change, CVT flush, differential fluid change, alll four struts.... Ii drive the ever loving piss out of it, even full to the brim with 500 pounds of carpentry tools, i drive it like im on a race track... i pass every car on the road, even the ones that think theyre fast... im truly amazed at the reliabiluity and durability of these subarus, though i do dispise the CVT... this is the first one ive owned and will most definitely be the last. its so bad.... always in too tall of gear untill you hit the downshift paddle one more time then its at redline and doesnt wanna "upshift" again... my next car will be a manual again... i bought this one because the salesman said "The CVT is essentially a manual without a clutch so it shifts instantly and doesnt lose power between shifts"... and on the round the block test drive in city traffic it seemed ok... but in the twisties or if you wanna get after it, its god fucking awful... and does not in any way match the sporty handling and feel of subaru cars... all my prior subarus were manual and all my future ones willl be too, now.

I am so glad for your video, MrSubaru! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have this exact model and I am hoping to see videos on complete brake fluid flush and coolant flush. I changed my spark plugs last week and it took me ALL day! First, it took awhile to remove that battery box because of the two lower bolts. Then I had to run to the store to buy a new torque wrench with a flex head to be able to torque spark plugs correctly. Sure enough all the spark plugs were under torqued.

Great video - answers a number of questions that I have had over the last few years. My Subaru dealership insisted that the engine had to be pulled from my 2015 Forester in order to replace a leaking cam carrier seal. I let them do that - the work was covered under warranty - the car only had about 38K miles on it (it would have been $2500 out of warranty). I had been told that the cam carrier covers had no gaskets. That does not appear to be true. It appears that it is much easier to replace the spark plugs if the cam carrier covers are removed.

I’ve done plugs on 4 of these newer Subaru FA/FB engines and they were all a breeze from the top. Just take off the intake (usually 2-3 bolts) and remove the battery, slide the ECU up and out of the way, and then it’s no problem reach each spark plug from the top with a swivel head ratchet and a 4” extension on the spark plug socket. I never needed any of the janky socket swivels that people like to recommend either. It may be easier from the bottom with EJ engines though. It’s been 10 years since I’ve done plugs on one of those so I don’t remember which method I used.

I just commented on your video of how easy these are to work on, well for spark plugs yeah, kinda, however I have 2016 OB 3.6r and out of no where it began to shudder and the CEL came on, so I figured ok seems like I lost a coil or something, still ran thank god, but I pulled the code and I had P0300, and P0303. I picked up a coil for 89 and a NGK spark plug just because why not if I am in there replace it. So once I did that, I started it back up and it cleared the P0300 then a P0302 popped in there, so I did some research and checked the VVT's, cleaned and tested them, cleaned the PCV valve and still, runs like crap and throwing codes still. So I called Subaru dealer and took it there, they replaced all the spark plugs, said the cylinders looked good but #2 was fowling out still, so $1100 in now and it's still there. I have only had this car for like 4 months, has 116k on it, so I guess the OB only has 100K then die? I mean it ran perfectly fine for the past 2 months, clean oil, burns that as I guess thats what these do but this has to be electrical, to suddenly go from perfect to garbo while going 70 on the highway. Anyone else have issues with Gen5 3.6R at 116Kish?

Thank you first of all, for your invaluable guides. I am unsure about how you aligned the pulley before beginning the task. I get the belt removal, but you were too fast for me on that alignment. what do I have to move and how. Do I need this for both cam covers? It's not that us DIY numptys are dumb, I certainly am just ignorant on stuff that you are clearly the reverse upon.. Over here in France, there are very few Subaru dealers, so it is down to me to do as much as I can to keep my Outback 2.5 2016 model running well. Thanks again. Joe O

I was replacing the cam cover gaskets, and ignition coils and one of the springs flew off and I cannot find it.

The service manager told me that I could zip tie it to keep it from coming loose. Do you have any ideas where I could buy a replacement from?

Just leave it. The reason for aligning the crane pulley is to rotate the camshaft to have the back lobes pointing towards the ceiling or the floor. If they are pointing towards the tires, they will block the valve cover from coming out. Once you've completed the job, starting the engine will cause the pulley to spin; lobes have adequate space inside the properly attached cover.

Do you have any idea how many miles were on that car when the cam covers started leaking? I have a 2017 but low miles. Wondering if I should be getting prepared. Mahalo!

How much time did this job take? My ‘11 Outback has leaking cam covers, needs spark plugs. Just need an idea of labor involved.

Both my children have subies but I told my son I would worry a hole in my stomach over the head gasket issue- just waiting for it to blow- what percentage of these engines lose their head gaskets? Thanks for the show.

I remember simpler days when changing spark plugs, wires, cap, and rotor took about one hour or less start to finish, and very little in the way. Sad 😞
