 hey guys got some good news for the six of you no maybe eight we got a Subaru but not just any Subaru well it is just some any Subaru now but it's going racing when I'm done hopefully anyways this is it it is an L6 2.5 single overhead cam well there's the single overhead cam now it came with a little bit of weight reduction a free dent or a couple and check this out a racing hatch a nice red racing hatch a hacked up exhaust just kind of a plus half the work is done still gonna do an axle back most likely the mid pipe is two and a half and the rest is two and a quarter suspension is decent actually it's got some rust issues here and there took off the front subframe this is going for sand blasting and the coating of some kind and here's the engine so that's the single overhead cam you can tell it only has single cams on each side now why it took this out well because it was it was leaking quite badly you can see all this oil you can actually see still a little droplet here it was so bad but it was actually leaking on the exhaust manifold you can see here and smoking very very badly this is probably from spillage over the years now this is not the original engine on this Subaru this thing has 170,000 miles on it this this engine supposedly has about 70 but judging you know once I took it out I could really take a closer look now a really close close look I have noticed that the head gasket needs to be replaced this is a coolant leak and this is an oil leak same situation on the other side and my dog anyways so yeah and we got a check engine light and for code P0028 which is this variable intake thing solenoid this guy here and now this one is for the passenger side you can see it's got four bolts easy to take out take it out you most likely well I don't know what I'm gonna do now about it well this one's good the code is for the driver side to get this one the timing needs to come off you can tell the the two 10 mil bolts are hiding behind the the back cover so all this needs to go I am gonna replace this sending unit oil pressure switch you can see a little bit of oil buildup I had one of these leak before like inside through so just they're cheap the main reason why this was this is out because of that oil leak and at first you could only kind of tell that it's leaking from the oil or the valve cover gasket but you know once it's out you can really look at it and find always find more issues you can see that I actually blocked a few holes like for this brake booster vacuum line for the intake manifold throttle body here for the power steering pump both in and out and what else oh yeah and the fuel lines evap and or return whatever this is and your feed most likely plugged up all these holes just to get it ready for cleaning before I take it apart you know I'd rather work on a clean engine than a dirty engine for obvious reasons all right guys check this out like new so heads need to come off got to drive them to the machine shop they're gonna deck them the black we're gonna check for if it's level with a straight edge so I may not need to I hope I want me to send the black out for decking so I hope I won't have to seriously man my dogs alright so I hope I won't have to send out the black for decking so I'm gonna take as little off as possible to get the heads out and I will have to completely strip the heads off of everything valves everything so as of now intake manifold this gets this EGR pipe all these everything that's on the head timing needs to come off harmonic balancer exhaust manifold power steering pump or maybe not actually is it no it's is it attached to the head let's see is it with the head where does it end and here no we're good okay so this guy can stay for now we'll see once all that's stripped before I take the heads off I'm gonna do a leak down test with this tool here this way once the timing is off all the valves will be closed I won't have to do top that center and whatnot it'll be just be easier with the leak down test I'm gonna know you know get info on if the valves are sealing properly or not and we'll go from there because I need to take them off anyway so if they're bad I'm gonna have to relapse most likely the exhaust valves that took about not too long so belt is off which means all the valves are closed I have the intake ports open and the exhaust so we take the exhaust manifold off ideally the oil pan should be off too but kind of lazy do their I'm probably gonna do it just to reseal it maybe not we'll see anyways I need air compressed air that is gonna start with numero uno and let the air come in there we go now you want to get it to 100 psi on the left gauge watching this gauge can you see this we are right on the edge of the green and the yellow which means well the least amount I call this 11% which is good but I do hear air escaping okay so it's not the air intake I do hear some noise from number one from now this intake here but not that much flip this over you hear that so with this means the exhaust valve is not sealing properly all the way which is it's normal the exhaust valve you know gets his ass kicked the most and I already seen it through here it is it's actually not that bad so labbing job shouldn't take long okay moving on to number three remember one two three four exactly the same a little bit here mostly the exhaust valve the compression test was very good actually was 170 something on cylinder number one and everything else was like 170 you know almost almost there 168 so very close to each other no worries there I'm not even worried about the pistons or the rings and I am gonna we're gonna take a closer look of the cylinder walls look if there's any scratches because the heads will be off obviously see if the cross hatch is still there and this thing needs to get under on the racetrack as soon as possible well that's a lot close this exhaust valve they're both open okay so this actually moved from the pressure from the other one and three tests so right now the pistons are about halfway ish or so so I'm gonna try and close these up okay now they're closed the intake ones are open call that a successful test not number four you can't do a proper leak down test I mean we could there's another way can we close all the intakes exhaust and intake at the same time all right time for the left head fixed all right taking the head off right so now you can't go and just take these bolts off any way you want you gotta do it in order so one two three four five six just a cross pattern all right all right so you can see can you see how it's all dark right over here all right but like expected these cross hatch come on now turn this with him by hand this cylinder well it's a little bit worn here and I have tiny tiny scratches but it actually looks pretty good I'm gonna get you in here are you gonna see this there we go so you can see the cross hatching and over here it's a little bit shiny all right there see that right in the middle of your screen it's a little bit shiny but I can still see the cross hatching there too and adjust a few vertical lines over here and one here that's it can't even feel these lines check this guy out kind of the same deal a little vertical single line here and kind of multiple together right over here but I can see a lot of the cross hatching this is good all right
