Today we are refreshing an old EJ25 out of a 2007 Subaru WRX STI, This engine is getting completely resealed, which means Oil Pan, Every Seal, Every Gasket, Heads are getting re-decked, Oil seals on the valves, lapping the vales literally everything.

I'm stoked to hear that you are helping the dude out, and hopefully this will be a good learning experience down the road for him. Getting into cars has its ups and downs, and learning how to deal with things like that is half of what makes it such a rewarding experience.

Really shows the kind of mechanic you are that you went out to help him on the side of the road and that you sacrificed money you made to help him out financially. I do all my own maintenance on my vehicles, learning from channels like yours, and due to that I pay attention religiously to all the gauges because I know how much time I put into my vehicles. That’s not a bash on the owner, just commending you on your effort. Best of luck to the kid with his car, it’s a learning experience for sure. 🤘🏻

This is pretty much exactly what my Ej255 is going to get whenever I get around to delivering it to my friend. This video made me question if I should get new valve springs & retainers. I wasn't planning on doing them but now I'm considering it. When the radiator popped on my VQ I hadn't noticed it for a minute, then I saw the temp gauge & looked in my rear view, yikes. I made the executive decision to drive the extra quarter to mile and get in the work parking lot instead of pulling off on the side of a rather busy road with potential police interaction. So far it hasn't seemed to have bit me in the ass, engine seems "healthy" more or less over a year out from that experience. That shit was pegged at the top of the gauge & pouring out white smoke.

If you can afford it, it's not a bad idea to swap them all out. The amount of white smoke coolant makes is wild 👀

Hey Tanner, I work on these and other subaru stuff for a living, Mac Tools sells a socket called R.B.R.T. and with using an old belt to hold the cam gears and a good Ratchet or a Aircat 1/2 impact Ive had tons of success. Trust me, myself and many other Techs hate those cam gear bolts with a passion.

Oh man been there, had a turbo charged 99 325is that grenaded in a parking lot a week after I bought it. Drove it from Seattle back to SF on a popped head gasket had no idea haha. Milk shake started pouring out everywhere it could that night. Saw the temp gauge spike as I was pulling in the lot. Shut her down and coasted into a parking space. Had it rebuilt and enjoyed the heck out of it until I had to sell it to pay some bills. Now I have an 07 legacy GT limited that I hope to keep and build forever. I’m a fully converted Subie bro now lol. 🤙

finally got to the end of this video - man that sucks. After i got mine running i was paranoid as heck for about 5 weeks - i did a quick few miles test... then checked stuff... drove a bit further and rechecked.. i kept doing that over and over and funnily enough i was paranoid mostly about cooling system because its such an easy thing to lose check of esp when your enjoying the sudden power and response hike and you can feel how strong the engine is. I'm so sorry to hear about the owners misfortune but man that is epic sportsmanship helping him out again - i hope he gets it running soon with your help and can finally enjoy his subaru. As an ex skyline owner (I've had 4 Skylines over 15 yrs) i will say that its so easy for cars to quickly run hot. I'll also add i've had way more fun in my subaru taking it through the twisty roads in ANY condiitons and feeling confident vs hoping the 4wd system in the GTR will kick in as it should lol.

@@Smeedia yeah I think it's the AWD vs 4WD ...I had two gtst and one ran 500 and was hilarious as long as its straight.. any power out of corners.. nope! The safest of the lot was a 600bhp r32gtr and even that bit me once or twice especially on hard braking with the heavy nose and light back end!!! My subaru is slower for now but man it's more fun 😎👍

I did a motor refresh on my forester right before a long move across the country and I encountered the same problem. Leaky lower rad hose.. Thankfully I caught it, but I can't tell you how stressful it was trying to keep coolant temps low on mountain passes and in desolate areas. Even put 2 worm gear clamps on it, which slowed the leak, but would always loosen up over time. Definitely going to have to look into getting those spring clamps.
