thank you very much !

[@richardbowles7690]

Your attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship is always on display. This is very encourging. The new shop looks fantastic !

[@ChrisHale0629]

I had a friend ask me why motor builds are "so expensive". I sent him here and he got it. Enjoy watching your work. Thanks for sharing!

[@a9entjones]

I could watch you build engines all day long. Love it!

Er hat alles schön erzählt und gezeigt! Cool !!!

[@spivzit8754]

That boring machine is beautiful. The way it works compared to regular CNC mills is quite fascinating at least to me

[@SubiPerformance]

yes I love this machine !

[@adrianduckenfield]

This is the best video you have done so far. It was fascinating to see how you use the machines to restore the cylinders. Keep up the good work!

[@benjamin8699]

I don't have Impreza, but I love all your videos. Perfect english for a french guy like me. I understand everything ! I want to find a guy like you on youtube to rebuild my F4R 738 from a Clio RS 182hp ! Your so accurate on your job. It's mad ! Love it !

I wish your videos never came to an end, I love that reamer tool! Nice keep it up!

[@neomorph9486]

It's always a pleasure to watching you working. Very clean and precise. I learned a lot about my car thanks to you. Thank you :)

[@sebrandomstuff]

Can't explain with words how excellent I find this video/shop/people/work. My admiración and congrats for a well done real job.

[@JlerchTampa]

Outstanding details and craftsmanship! As an amateur I've assembled a reasonable number of cylinder heads and never thought to vacuum test them once assembled, but it is an obvious and easily accessible test even to us 'home gamers' in hind sight!

[@phxl]

Yeah, this is definitely not the same level of service our local Subaru shops provide. Amazing work!

[@larry999y]

большое удовольствие смотреть на вашу работу

[@Lemmy117]

You’re really good at your craft.

[@donaldsmith9982]

Amazing videos, enjoying watching this channel immensely. I am curious however why the case halves are not bolted together and bored and honed in an assembled configuration using the case and head hardware of choice. We have found large variences by assembling with dual torque plates for the boring, honing and line honing the mains. We have also found a large variance when setting up ring gap with/without torque plates. Another question, we also vapor hone our case halves and other engine parts and have a heck of a time getting a media out of blind bolt holes.....how do you do this in a time effect fashion. Cheers from Canada

[@johnreese3762]

Very Good! Both work and video, thanks for sharing!

[@alanwarner7057]

11:00 that used to take me about two hours to set up. I'm retired now, i couldn't afford a machine like that.

[@calvinhutton57]

This machine is very impressive!

[@ProfDriftel]

Always amazed.. Best man Andi

[@honkie247]

What do you use for a solvent in your washing machine? What does the washing machine that you clean the case halves in use for a solvent? Thank you, excellent videos.

[@sf2372]

Such a PRO outfit.... Love this channel

[@Lukedormer]

Another great watch. 👍🏻

[@TheLaxMonster]

wow the difference when the half block comes out clean next to the old one 🤯

[@moonryder203]

Super cool!😊

[@automan1223]

22:38. You should build a jig to centerline the block on your decking / boring machine if it has enough Z. . Write a program to bore the crank main journals with a boring bar so you get both centerline of the block and correct dimension. There is no way you are keeping the centerline based on the inserts on the end caps like you have. If you are interested I can send you a link to a video where this is done.

[@asakim3507]

i don't know why but i am memorized by just watching it being put together... it's like twitch for engineers

[@nofear6235]

Bro, I love your content, especially on WRX (I am original owner of 2006 WRX TR), you are a high level pro with skills and great tools. Funny part where you and Alex working on some destroyed by other "pro's" Rex engine and you were trying to curse on Russian, rofl!!

[@MrSchuetzendorf]

The Dachshund cleans the cylinders after honing as he fits perfectly inside. His rough-haired colleague is used for honing the last 1/1000 mm.

[@Happydays-w3z]

amazing video!

[@anonymousmouse2889]

You have an incredible shop!!! How much of an investment is the equipment? This is dream job :)

when you say waves cover. it gets me every time lol i know you mean valve cover i just hear you saying waves lol. I Like your videos man keep up the amazing work.

[@mattbelka3479]

grate toturial do more videos like this and do more explanetions more details what you do and sizes ect :)

[@sefikdemirel5529]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@someusername121]

Maybe a video in the future about what you need to do to safely achieve various power levels? Because of these videos I'm more interested in this engine but it's not so easy to find clear information of what kind of power can be achieved over 100k miles based on stock / piston + rods + closed deck + valve springs etc etc.

[@jordanlatta]

Good question. There are lots of Subaru forum posts about how much power people have made "reliably" on certain OEM or aftermarket parts, but generally EJ engines are severely limited on boost if they have an open deck or factory pistons/rods. To make more than like 300 hp, it's best to have a closed deck or sleeves to prevent cylinder warping which causes head gasket failure. Also common is ringland failure due to small piston ring gaps that close up and destroy factory pistons, or bent rods from too much boost, of course.

[@richardalick7748]

English getting better. carry on

[@hankr.1943]

Nice video, thanks.

[@johntimmins476]

Master class!

[@jonathankenduiwa8580]

Greetings from Kenya 🇰🇪. Such amazing craftsmanship. I’d love for you to rebuild a short block for me one day. I have an EJ 25 with ringland failure... keep up the good work. Some amazing videos and great opportunities to see how to rebuild a Subaru engine the correct way...😎👍🏾

[@DavidParker-cf2km]

What cleaning process are you using in what looks like a blast cabinet?

[@warster321]

24:50 - you're using a torque wrench to disassemble??? you really do have all the best tools

[@michaellicitra7632]

Do you verify the alignment of the main bearing bores? Are they in alignment with each other?

[@jordanlatta]

Usually he line-hones them all at the same time to ensure they are aligned, but I guess they looked straight enough on this engine since they were almost all the perfect diameter 🤷‍♂️

[@kennyyellop]

excellent videos

[@paulking2251]

So very interesting, I'm learning so much. I have my SCD EJ20 blocks packed up and ready to send. Aber dude... look after your hands. All that oil and those cleaning fluids could cause you problems later.

[@Mike_44]

If no damage is suspected on the crankshaft bearings, is it necessary to split and hone the crankshaft hole and cylinders when rebuilding the motor?

[@brentnearhood8874]

Do you have to replace the honing blocks you bolt to the top of the cylinder? Do they wear out?

[@nathanchalecki4842]

Great vids, this machine fascinates me. Does it withdraw the cutting tool before it moves up out of the bore? ( so that it does not scratch a line on the way out). Do you worry much that it did not seem to be cutting near the top of the cylinder?

[@Jack_D_Stripper]

great videos , what is the maximum hp you recommend on a open deck engine ?

[@Hannah-451]

Any chance you know the name of the guitar riffing you've overlaid on the time-lapse/speed up sections? I would enjoy playing it while I do work in my shop. That k you for the fantastic quality of work, and videos

[@stefanstojanovski5513]

When someone ask me what is my dream job, I show them video from this channel

[@leohughes6921]

When you use the torque plate for the honing process do you re-use that specific head gasket when honing the next block? Along with that, do you use the same set of head bolts for every block you hone as well, or are those new every time?

[@mattiasandersson3444]

Piston to wall clearence depends on what material in the pistons it is 2618 or 4032 and how hard the engine gonna be driven. With 2618 you can have 0.1- 0.14 mm but only half of that with 4032 pistons. With Mahles pistons you can choose what material you want cause they do both.. I´m running 0.12 mm with my 2618 pistons in my 705 bhp / 800 nm cdb ej257 modified with oil squirters . I can see theres a lot of newbies who never been seen a enginebuilder Before and Thinks tou are a god. Matter a fact most of the serious enginebuilders works this way and not only you, but you are obviouly the first enginebuilder they seen in action..

[@РусланКазахстан-о7з]

[@martinmeaney340]

Do you not use the torque plate when boring the ej cylinders ?

[@austinreynolds5702]

what state you love i got a ej25 and i need it bored out for some sleeves

[@Alan1.8]

24:40 forgot to remove the support sweep

[@sergeydzhenganin3486]

I always charmed by your style of work which helps you to make such an amazing engines. Recently I got a NA Outback 2005 2.5I 4 automatic transmission with 270K on the engine and would like to ask you a question: which engine should I look for the upgrade and if I can use one of yours. Kind regards

[@robertf4572]

Where do you get those Subaru pants?

[@ВячеславВисливский]

We are waiting 2nd part. Do it best

[@joeyt6089]

This is a great video. I've heard that you're supposed to bore the cylinders with the case halves bolted together. Is this not true? Or does it only matter when honing?

[@jaimecrist7223]

I am not sure that is even possible, you would bore right through the structural bits. What you are probably thinking of or may have heard about is deck plates, he calls them torque plates in this video - 16:05. They are plates that can be bolted to the case halves, in the same way a cylinder head is, during the honing process. It simulates the "stretch" or the distortion caused by forces applied to the case when the cylinder heads are bolted to it. It does not matter if the cylinder is true when it is on its own, it is ruined if it is distorted when it is all assembled. Blow-by, oil consumption, shorter life, etc. Sunwest Automotive has a great 2 minute video that explains why they use deck plates when they re-manufacture short blocks. I almost bought one of their short blocks, but wanted something a little stronger so I went with IAG. I think the reason it does not matter so much during the boring process is because that is more of a broad stroke when compared to honing. The honing is where things get extremely precise.

[@germanshoss1106]

@Subi Performance Hi, have you tried using a Honda oil filter? He is the same as the Subaru, but longer. And there is more filter element in it.

[@germanshoss1106]

@Brandon Marotte 15400-RTA-003 HONDA OEM. I use aftermarket Nitto 4hm-113 or VIC c-809 Japanese oil filters for Honda.

[@abc123546879]

Where is your shop located.!!!!

[@jptrainor]

23:52 What is this tool called? Some sort of special purpose crank bearing surface reamer?

[@Kyle-pz7os]

What is the tool you use to bore the journals? Line bore?

[@armanifaysal2783]

Good job thanks !!!

[@dma2fa]

Wow! Nothin' more to say.

[@mazenimam3866]

Hello may I ask about the cost for the parts only.... I believe your hands work is priceless. Good job 👏 👍 👌

[@MrCydiaWTF]

How many miles do you think this block would run for? I know it’s hard to say because it depends on driver, but if well maintained and beaten on here and there what would you think?

[@-ExitOn-]

Hi! What is this lash caps on time 1:18 - 1:21? Can you write partnumer of they? Are they suitable for the ej204 engine?

[@CuiZinieR7]

Part 2 not out yet?

[@walterbrooks3539]

"valves" not "waves" :) And why do you not bore with the torque plate? Does the honing with the torque plate resolve that 0.3mm difference?

[@daos3300]

'v' and 'w' are pronounced differently in german than english. also depends on the german dialect.
