[@jorgetellez7969]

great job. i remember my first tear down and re build on an ej20. i love working on ej the easiest there is

Super fun engine to rebuild! You should subscribe so you can see the next episode where we finish building it and maybe even get it started…

The carbon on top of the piston doesnt effect much, just slighty increases compression if any Cleaning the carbon that buiids up around the piston rings and oil ring that will give you the most benefit The carbon holds the rings from springing out to seal compression and oil blow by Restores power and youll lose less oil between oil changes Nice thing about a subaru is you can pull the pistons out wwithout splitting the block, you were SO close 💪 Great video

Company 23 that is all

15:24 whooooooooo hahahahhahaha

use the old timing belt and wrap it around some stuff and clamp it and it will hold those gears just fine. I usually just replace my timing belts, for retiming the engine from scratch the crank needs to be at tdc and the cams need to match a notch in the timing cover, if you did it right there are secondary marks on the intake and exhaust cam gears that should line up with each other. it slipped timing because you rotated it backward and you didn't have the bracket, just rule of thumb, dont spin it the wrong way. did you not jack up the transmission, if you didn't it would have been a hell of alot easier if you did. you could have avoided alot of work if you had just jacked up the trans

[@Jacobball32Crew]

Thanks for the tips on why it slipped! While installing we did jack up the transmission a few times but struggled to get it in nonetheless.

[@BushidoPhoto]

I think you should only turn the engine clockwise when checking for compression?

[@Jacobball32Crew]

You are correct. I've had a few people inform me of this as it is something I had no clue about previously, but it is definitely something I will remember on future projects!

[@leohughes6921]

The whole reason it skipped timing was because you were spinning the engine backwards.

[@BoostHQ]

Great video. The engine skipped timing because you lose tension when you spin the motor counterclockwise. The timing components are meant to create tension moving clockwise and I believe this goes for any engine with a timing belt The more you know 🌈 ⭐️

[@Jacobball32Crew]

Glad to know! Thanks for the info!

[@scoobysean555]

I'd check that belt for wear when you put the guard on you never spaced it ...well itblooked like you just put it on and nipped it up

[@Grawrrr]

ummm, did you put the snap ring on the throwout bearing? The one that holds it into the diaphragm. Or did you convert to push type instead of pull?

[@Jacobball32Crew]

I did install the snap ring that connects the throwout bearing to the diaphragm. I was told to leave it pressed into the diaphragm during installation. You just see it for just a few seconds at 10:30 and 10:45.

[@Grawrrr]

@@Jacobball32Crew Sweet! Keep an eye on that. Sometimes they like to slip out if your banging gears ahahaha. Always happens at a shitty time as well!

[@TVR2100]

fireeeee content

[@jorgetellez7969]

5:12 oh no... i just got to this part and you should have tried to line it up again before removing the belt. 1 toothj should not hurt much

[@Akisaqt]

Okay whos the mofo who stole my name. I am the only mechanic named dax god damnit 😫

[@Jacobball32Crew]

Hahaha! Hopefully this isnt the last you see of him!
