Hello! this just happened to me sadly, gears 1 3 5 works, 2 4 doesnt, reverse works, car drives I live in south america next to brasil and argentina so shipping my sst for rebuild is kind of... super expensive hehe, can I buy the metal replacements magnets and switch them? is it a hard job for a mecanich that never opened an sst? thanks!!!
@@stev4452 Hola! Yo tengo el mismo problema en Mexico y no se que es lo que mas me conviene. Cuentame por favor, pudiste solucionarlo? encontraste alguna refaccion que te haya servido?
@@iluma4844 uff que mala leche hermano, si, ya lo arreglamos aqui en Paraguay, mi mecanico no queria abrir la caja pero lo convenci y no es tan dificil, seguimos varios videos de youtube de personas abriendo la caja y solucionando el mismo problema, cambiamos el sensor junto con el shift fork 4, (el brazito que sostiente el sensor) y de maravillas
@@stev4452 Sabes, ese es el problema que me he encontrado, que los mecanicos con los que he ido no quieren abrir la transmision. Y si necesito alguien de confianza que se anime a hacerlo. Y donde encontraste las refacciones? Gracias por tu respuesta bro🙏
All FB/FA engines will spit out the rockers at high RPM if the valve clearance is beyond the middle of the factory spec. If you want a high-revving FB/FA, your valve clearance spec should be closer to factory minimum spec. You won't float valves until well beyond redline
I own 2012 Forester with an FB25 that has a top end knock. It has the same style valve train as the one in your video. In your experience, where does the knocking come from? It’s not a tick, but a distinct knock. I’ve had the engine out twice, and really don’t want to remove it again until I know what the repair is.
the load for that to happen in the engine by itself is NOT easy, you have to over rev the engine or driving in an extremely rough terrain for that to happen. I'm not saying the retainer is a bad idea, but this fault will be extremely rare under normal circumstanaces. Again, FA/FB engine are for economy cars, not built for racing. The subaru race car, GT3000(fancy BRZ) using the EJ not FA engine.
I never was confident with ae86 sucessor with a boxer engine. Toyota should desing a 2liters engine with yamaha head like they did in the past. But not a boxer in dyno shows ~150whp :/
Hi Cristian, the pivots must be changed from OEM so that the clip can attach. You can purchase our kit here: denstoj.com.au/products/fa20-fb-rocker-retainer-kit
How do you adjust the valves on these type of engines? I took my heads to a machine shop and they weren't able to adjust them correctly so now I have to do it myself, unfortunate but anything helps since there aren't a lot of videos over this engine.
Not sure if anyone has answered this yet, but the piece that he pulls off 3:05 is basically a shim. They’re used by the factory to get the lash to the correct tolerance. There’s different thicknesses available to achieve this
It's definitely trickier on the intake cams. Recording a video of a full install starting from engine out is definitely on our videos to make list. Feel free to ask any questions you have and I'll do my best to help out.
I ended up figuring out the intake cams side and getting done. It took me 4 hours to figure out both intake and exhaust on on side. The other side I was able to get it done 1.5hr.
@@DenstojAutoCentreCarrington I'm glad too! If I hadn't bought the super long skinny flat head screwdriver I would have been.... screwed! LOL. Otherwise I would have has to take off the whole timing just to get to it. Tip for readers: that little bucket at the top of the valve, if you dip that in oil then put it back on it will prevent it from sliding off again. Even with the best of intention they can really pop out, put a shop rag over the cams to prevent it from flying across the room when you remove the roller rocker. The intake roller rockers are easy to install if you put it right up to the cam and push down on the valve spring by thumb. The exhaust cam install is exactly as shown in video. Be sure to have thin long reach needlenose pliers. And a powerful mini magnet on a rod. And remove the spark plug seals. Honestly took me 6 hours total, but that was including an hour lunch break.
@@resuort Neat little write up Ibrahim! The job can be a little tricky and time consuming but it becomes easier after installing the 2nd or 3rd clip. The oil drain ports need to be plugged up with paper and take extreme care not to dislodge the valve retainer collets. 1st - Check all valve clearances and write them down. 2nd - Fit bespoke pivot without the retainer clip. Check valve clearance and correct if required. 3rd - Last step is to fit retainer clip to rocker . I suggest doing one valve at a time.
Hi, I'm in Australia how much is it gonna cost for you guys to install these retainers? Taking out an engine seems a bit hard for a garage mechanic lol
Hey, @HOU HOU it's possible to do yourself but there are a few critical things to check in the process. If you would rather us install our Rocker Retainer Kit for you, we'd love to do it. A ballpark quote is $2,700 AUD for a drive-in, drive-out installation. For details, please see: denstoj.com.au/pages/install-fa-fb-denstoj-rocker-retainer-kit-in-toyota-86-subaru-brz Feel free to *call on 02 4962 2008* or email dennis@denstoj.com.au to book it in. We're based in Newcastle. What about you?
@@DenstojAutoCentreCarrington Another question, u guys have had these retainers for a year or two now. Are there any reports or feedbacks on the longevity of these retainers?
@@houhou9716 On all of the vehicles that we’ve installed our Rocker Retainer Kit on we’ve had no issues. This has been on 86s that are daily driven to track cars competing in the Toyota 86 race series. The only issue that has occurred was on a vehicle in the States (we didn't install) where the clips had worn against the machined shoulder on the pivot due to incorrect installation of the clips. Full details are on rixter145’s post: www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142047&page=7 Since this issue, we’ve improved the design to a custom pivot that removes the shoulder and explained how to install the clip properly in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QJSK6_t8h4Y.html
A service to re-attach the magnets is now available (you need to mail in the fork and magnet). It requires great precision and specific adhesive, hence the service. www.ebay.ca/itm/234106893879 It's a lot cheaper than buying new magnets. (an alternative for Right to Repair :) )
We're not sure. They haven't fixed it in current engines. Either they aren't aware of the problem or they haven't decided to retain the rockers yet (more likely) for a reason such as cost or effort required.
Hey @Turbo 707. We ship with TNT/FedEx Express so it is pretty quick all around the world! Please send us an email at dennis@denstoj.com.au with your postcode for exact timing from Australia. Thanks.
a lot of cars use that design. i have seen it on some jeeps that i ripped apart kindof a stupid design. also i thought one of toyotas main goals was designing these engines to handle high revving 200 hp at 7k rpm
Thanks for this! Just finished a rebuild on a 2013 BRZ and have some valve noise on the driver's side. This technique will be a tremendous time saver!!!
Wicked! I hope you had a chance to fix it and install the retainers while you had the engine out? It would suck for a rocker to fail on a brand new engine build!
@@cleo7893 in my case the issue was that the small rectangular piece from the back of the original cam sprocket had come loose from the sprocket (that's the initial failure causing the CEL) and was stuck to the mounting face of the camshaft. I didn't notice it and installed the new sprocket over it. New sprocket being mounted slightly askew caused a loss of oil pressure at the sprocket and the rattling sound after warm-up.
If only you were in melbourne! Recently sold my 86 to pump up a deposit for a house (yes, during covid it sucked to do that), but happily have already put in deposit to reserve the second gen 86/BRZ next year with its new 2.4L. Any chance you can recommend a guy to be my mechanic over in melbourne??
Unfortunately, we don't know any of the workshops in Melbourne closely. That’s all good! We would have loved to have helped you out with your old 86. We didn’t know that you could already put deposits on the 2021 BRZ? Good luck with the new house!
Hey Matt, thanks glad we could (potentially) help you out! Tell your friend that the next weakest link would be the connecting rod. However, if your FA20 is still naturally aspirated then it is unlikely.

Derrick Stubbing happen to me but 1 3 and 5 didn't work. Only 2, 4, 6. What you do is you park your car shut off the car for 2 mins. Start the car put it in drive and it works
Thats awesome, can you check this video, can you give me an opinion about a problem with my transmission? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3gzMklBWTtQ.html
