Very concise video. For newbies, I'd recommend removing the radiator to give more room to work and to protect the radiator from damage. Thank you for sharing.

@ZADOMAN48 2 года назад

You are correct but I just put a stiff piece of cardboard to protect radiator.

@marknero9518 7 месяцев назад

Followed this for a 1998 2.2 L (not dual cam). Also this year had the 97 version pencil tensioner (apparently Subaru continued the configuration into some of the 98 models (not widely known). Radiator stayed in place, but duct taped a thin cabinetry plywood over the radiator to prevent accidental damage). My son and I Completed R and R in 5.5 hours (including spark plug change). We had a lift in our home shop so it was convenient. I've had a great deal of automotive and offroad vehicle experience so It was straightforward for us. Local shops wanted $1800-2200. Apparently they can make money easier then these jobs. All in all the video was excellent and I appreciated how methodical each step was covered.

Checked out your video to see how bad this fix would be. And i have to say, you are a genius with the camera angles. And the distance, with/without the mirror is amazing. Perfect kind of video for weekend warrior mechanics like myself. Keep up the great work.

Lando Calrizzi thank you! Did everything go smooth for you?

@JT-tz5hp 5 лет назад

Fantastic video. Why can't all how to videos be as concise as this.

Vernon PGros Morne thank you. There are some good videos out there👍🏻

I'm getting ready to do my '99 outback.The bits of fuel line covering the jaws of the pliers is a good idea. I'll use it! Thanks.

@t1mtoolman 6 лет назад

what a great job on this video. I am about to do this job and you took most of the fear and questions away. just did the radiator and thermostat so some of the steps are familiar...the water pump was the cause of radiator failure, which I now know

@ejmagras 4 года назад

thank you, Brian, for demonstrating this procedure

@travisschwab8636 4 года назад

Thanks saved me about 900 by doing it myself. Its even easier if you take the whole radiator out. More work space.

@beckettevans7228 7 лет назад

very clear instructions, concise and to the point. good video.

Beckett Evans thank you! Glad it helped. If you should have any other automotive needs I'll be here. Thank you again for watching!

@nastybastardatlive 2 года назад

Nice job. I'm doing this tomorrow.

@camillearagon357 3 года назад

This is a great video, thank you. Before I dive into this project I was curious if there is any way to replace the water pump gasket without having to get into timing?

@MisterSirGabriel 7 лет назад

@HowtoAutomotive 7 лет назад

ida olea whatever it takes awesome!

@idaolea8172 7 лет назад

workshop used 3 ohr to shift spark plugs. but do in in 40 min vith engine elevator, just loosen bolts that hold engine to frame, then lift engine up one fist, so its easy to shift spark plugs. workshop sheef god angry as hell when i told him how to di it fast. I think they ripping people off.

@Alan-cw8vy 9 месяцев назад

Never mentioned about bleeding the tensioner

@tedhyde4665 4 года назад

Thank you. Great video. Doing this on my own car and you make it look easy

ted hyde glad to you like the video. Hope Everything go smooth for you. Thank you for watching!

@tedhyde4665 4 года назад

@@HowtoAutomotiveI did it!!!! Thank you so much for the great video.

@TizonaAmanthia 3 года назад

older video but getting teh belt back on is a super mega hard thing, the simple muscle work of getting that belt on in such a TIGHT space, and getting those tensioners and idlers on is hard. no matter what I do, there's like... an inch of belt being eaten somewhere. and that's WITH those crank lockers, one for each side!

@peteburger3970 2 года назад

How did you keep the driver side cam pulleys in place I line my top one up it's slips

@jsaddler012345 6 лет назад

thank you

@darklight8034 3 года назад

Thank you

@danforgespaugy6912 3 года назад

Also my belt tensioner is different

@danforgespaugy6912 3 года назад

Are these timing marks the same on a 1996 when my cam marks are set the Crank mark is at 3 o'clock

@CharlieBBaltimore 6 лет назад

how to fix camshaft that are no longer aline?

@djtripnosys 2 года назад

Noticed you went over the hardest part with "just hold it on there"...how? It is friggin impossible to keep the gasket lined up whilst lining up the bolts to the holes at the same time. Gasket slips off EVERY TIME.

@peteburger3970 2 года назад

How do you keep the 2 cam pulleys without moving on the driver side

@jackdonald7064 Год назад

Stuck on the same thing

@Sprdave5 2 года назад

I noticed the the timing marks were off by one notch iz that going to make the vehicle run slightly rough

@HowtoAutomotive 2 года назад

If it’s off it will make it run very poorly.

@luccianotacchi5294 3 года назад

How much would cost that mate ??

@lakenokomis1240 8 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I am puzzled by the alignment of the cam pulleys on the driver side. From my vantage point viewing this it did not look like they were perfect. On my 97 they look the same way (using a mirror). I am wondering of the consequences of being a couple teeth off. Also,on the alignment of the crank pulley -you sort of breezed thru exactly what you were aligning to. For me, it looked like you were slightly off center. Also I found that the standard practice at Subaru (whenever a timing belt is replaced) is to remove the cam sprockets to inspect the integrity of the keys. I had a Subaru mechanic who ignored this step and ran up a huge bill for the owner as the mechanic tried everything he knew to compensate for a sheared cam key. The problem was a cam key was sheared on a cold weather start.This was on a 92 non-interference engine. I bought the car with a box of parts in the trunk after the owner gave up on the repair to stop the financial bleeding.

@zaidhadad8923 5 лет назад

Lake Nokomis I agree. I have not had any luck with an answer, have you? Thanks

@emmanuelmartinez8902 3 года назад

Would it be the same process on a 98 Subaru legacy 2.5l?

@HowtoAutomotive 3 года назад

Yes it’s gonna be pretty much the same thing there might be some small differences as far as the brackets or something but the timing belt set up will be the same.

@emmanuelmartinez8902 3 года назад

I'll be doing this to my legacy in a few months, I'll be using your video to guide me through. Did you ad gasket sealer when you installed the water pump? Thank you for your help.

@Alan-cw8vy 9 месяцев назад

You didn't bleed the tensioner

@jareddecaccia5520 6 лет назад

Everything was great about this video except one thing. He didn't mention lining up the crank pulley hash marks before putting on the belt

@GHETTOCHRIS666 5 лет назад

I could have swore he did?

@marriedvlogger275 3 года назад

Looks like I will needs more tools than just a pair of pliers

@jim-tr6ob 7 лет назад

Why take off the fans from the radiator? Extra work for nothing.

@neilw.7153 7 лет назад

So there is room to remove the timing cover, timing belt and pinion gears.

@SirLancearon 7 лет назад

jim wagner impossible to do without doing so. A bolt for removal for the fan belt would only have 1/2 an inch for ur ratchet and such if rad fans were still there
