We've had our fun with this 300,000 mile Subaru WRX and now it's time to get down to business and tear it apart. Davin's never touched a Subaru before, but how hard can it possibly be? Unscrew a few bolts there, cut a couple zip ties here, and maybe break out a hammer and chisel and it should fall apart... right?

Subaru guy here. Heres some general ej series motor knowledge. Turbos don't have chronic head gasket failure. While it isn't unheard of on a turbo it's really the ej251 and ej253 that the head gaskets fail on (non turbo sohc). The head gaskets don't even "blow" normally, they start leaking oil externally from the bottom seam, and will for a while until the coolant passage is inevitably affected, even then coolant and oil mixing is rare, it usually just starts to overheat. A sohc engine will go 100k- 150k before it 100% needs head gaskets every time, every engine. The turbos can go 200k plus without being opened up. The gasket used for the turbo is different. The ej205 turbos are very stout and usually tend to die when they spin bearings due to lack of oil pressure. Usually because the owners have run them dry and beat them hard or even cracked oil pickup tubes. The early ej255 and ej257s can do the same but usually loose ringlands due to overboosting in a low rpm range and also lack of maintenance. While subarus are definitely prone to popping, it's really the less than bright owners thinking maintenance isn't necessary on their turbo hotrod. Aswell as owners modding their cars when they really have no clue what they're doing. The turbo engines the subaru dealers are changing all day always seem to have 1 common denominator and thats the owners. It's the cars with headlight overlays, fart cans and a rear windshield covered in stickers blowing up, while grandma's sohc forester just needs head gaskets and grandpa's stock turbo outback usually runs just fine for 250k.

@fokuz02 2 года назад

07 WRX owner here who just replaced head gaskets on my old girl at 107k. The engine started to overheat with bubbles in the radiator which also destroyed the turbo oil seals. I will never own another Subaru and will be purchasing a civic soon. These cars are just too temperamental.

@TheDingmann 2 года назад

@@fokuz02 yep, most of the time the turbos experience head lift under higher boost and thats when they fail. This is pretty common on any factory turbo motors that have either been abused or modified (gas or even diesel). The other issues you've described are par for the course especially with 100k miles turbos are pretty tired on these cars. I know too many people who believe their used wrx will be fine and inevitably pop the motor because they bought someone else's punching bag. While they are temperamental I'd describe used ones as more of time bombs because of bad previous owners. Like I mentioned above, at the dealer there aren't very many stock turbo cars coming in with these issues, 9/10 it's a modified car and half the time its the modification directly causing the issue. Of course anything can break, I've also installed new engines in trucks with under 20k miles so there are always mechanical outliers. Another issue I see a lot of subaru owners facing is technician misdiagnosis. Too many people use bad "mechanics" or no mechanics or forum idiots and end up doing more work than they need to or making the car worse than when they started. But I maintain if you treat an ej turbo nice from new, keep on the maintenance, and even PROPERLY mod the car they can be reliable for well over 200k. Unfortunately 95% of them haven't been treated nicely at all. Turbo subarus are old enough now people pick them up cheap expecting things to just work... it doesn't work like that. And anything you'd compare to the wrx in price and performance and age is going to face the same reliability issues. Plenty of popped saabs, evos, vws, ecotechs and even the newer ecoboosts out there too, all mainly because they've been run hard and put away wet. The 2 hardest genre of car to find used are used turbo sports cars and used turbo diesel trucks because they get beat on. Hope your civic treats you better though. Those cars are tough as nails.

I don't think I've ever seen someone take a Suby block apart with the pistons still attached to the rods. That had to have been tedious. There are plugs in the block so you can access the piston wrist pins. WAY easier to leave the rods on the crank, pistons in the block, then split the block.

For those of us in the know on these engines the facepalm starts at only 2:50 in. The intake design on the EJ engine allows the intake manifold/fuel rails and wiring harness to be removed from the block as one unit. I don't think I've ever seen someone remove the wiring harness with the intake in place. 😅

I had a three year old Ford Explorer Sport Trac that started handling funny and when I looked at the front end one of the anti sway bar struts was missing. Looking at it Ford had placed the struts inside a plastic tube I guess to protect them but all it did was trap dirt and then road salt in between. When I replaced them the remaining one in places had rusted down from 10mm to about 3mm in diameter.

I am AMAZED the coolant crossover tube bolts didnt break off AND that you got the cam gear bolts off. On a motor that looks like this, I would expect those to be massive headaches. Also, the turbo Subaru motors didnt have head gasket issues, because they used MLS (multilayer steel) gaskets. The non-turbo ones used inferior gaskets, so if you have for example a 2000s EJ25 nonturbo model, used the EJ25 turbo gasket and you wont have that problem anymore Its funny you sped through the last bit of the video trying to split the block! You did it the hard/wrong way, but it looks like you figured it out eventually. I bet there was lots of cursing the way you did it

When you put that engine back together make sure to upgrade the oil pan and pick up tube. Subaru's EJ engines are notorious for cracking the pick up tube and causing oil starvation. Killer B and IAG are the best choices in that department along with many other parts! There are a lot of other parts that need upgrading on that engine as well but typing them out on here would be a huge list!

The head gasket problem was much less in the turbo engines than in the normally aspirated ones because the cylinders were closed deck which supported them better as opposed to the open deck NA engines. My son’s 2003 WRX engine has 167k on it now with no leaks. Subaru recommended using Holt’s cooling system sealer to head off minor leaks before they could lead to a gasket failure. It worked on both of my NA engines and on the WRX. Our 2001 Forester went 247k with no leaks.

@adelkheir 2 года назад

Just an FYI on what you call lash cap on the valve spring is not simply there to make a bigger contact surface between the cam and the valve it's also there to adjust the gap between the valve and the cam as there's a shim on top of the cap where the cam makes contact on and you adjust the clearance by changing the thickness of the shims while cam and the valves are already buttoned up on the head. And that design is more common than you'd think but you'd find it more on European and Japanese cars and even motorcycles like Fiat used that design on their SOHC and DOHC engines for decades and were even the first to design the shim to be on top of the cap instead of under it so that you don't have to remove the camshaft every time you adjust the valve clearance.

I’d like to see you kids rebuild a paramotor engine. Unlike other aircraft engines it doesn’t require certification.

Your timing on the comment about the valves is perfect. I need to lap the exhaust valves on a Toyota 5SFE as they have some pitting. But how is the valve lash handled on an OHC engine? Lapping the valves will make them sit slightly deeper in the seats, right? And that's going to move the tip of the valve stem closer to the cam. What's the equivalent of the hydraulic lifter in a "normal" engine that takes up any play? I didn't really pay attention to how much play there is between the cam and the cap that's over the valve stem. Is there enough clearance there so a few thousandths (if that much) deeper in the seats isn't going to keep the valve slightly open?

Typically on that era of toyota DOHC engines it's a shim-on-bucket design, though it may be a shim-in-bucket. Either way there's typically shims involved.

Excellent. I hadn't noticed the shim on top of the bucket. First time I've had to mess with a OHC engine (wife's 2000 Camry with 257K on it). The pitting on the exhaust valves isn't severe, I may just let it go.

Did I miss the end game for this build? Is it going back into what's left of that heap or is it going in something else? Not a subbie guy, but I have to admit the design of these engines is very intriguing. How about a rotary next?!
