  • hey commented on you video on blown head gaskets on these engines. would timing belt being loose throw a code for misfires (specifically 3rd and 4th) and cause general noisiness of engine operation? i have replaced everything dealing with electrical and fuel components to fix this problem

  • @patricky0 That's usually a bad ignition coil or rod bearings. Obviously I haven't looked at it, but I'd check spark quality 1st.

  • Brian- do you have a video of a 2.5 DOHC timing belt installation? Need to make sure i don't damage valves when I rotate this motor- also where should crank postion be so if I rotate the cams without the belt on, where should crank position be?

  • @GDMAZ EVERYBODY asks me that. I made a video on it and I can't find it! It's SUPER SAFE AND EASY. When you have the timing mark on the crank drive gear lined up all four pistons are centered in the stroke/block so you CAN'T mess it up. There is no risk if that crank mark is aligned pointing up to the crank sensor mark.

  • Nice video again, First time I did my timing bet I was scare shitless lol. I was back to back reading the hayne book. I compress my tesioner, aligned the belt with the mark. I put a vice grip on the left cam( losse cam) with two towel so I won't damage the belt. Put the last sprocket took the paper clip from the tensioner and boommm the car turn on. Man you should had seem me I was like a kid on disneyland. lol After that day timing belt became a piece of cak to me. I still haven't done DOHC

  • THANK YOU!!!!

  • @mdelegan I've seen everything man! You never know. You're welcome.

  • @briansmobile1 You think that either of those things could cause it to fail a few thousand miles down the road? Is it common knowledge to press the tensioner super slowly, or would a mech. have to work on subies for a while? I saw the recommendation in the Haynes to take it slow-3 minutes or longer to press (you think he would know that!). Thanks-keep up the great vids!

  • @hp11208 The DOHC 2.5's are the same the singles are slightly different.

  • 02 impreza is it the same for the timing belt
