 Hello boys and girls welcome to part 3 of the EJ25 build What are we doing today? We're doing we're doing we're gonna seal up the block Remember where the where all the pins went in through the pistons We got a seal up all those holes Around the block from there. You're gonna see me struggle to put on the oil the rear the main oil seal then engine goes on the engine stand then then oil pump and Whatever else I can fit into this video to make it last for about 20 25 minutes Maybe water pump. Maybe something else. We'll see. Let's get to work Now it's time to plug these holes up one of them, which is this one, which is cylinder number one gets a Washer even though this one gets a washer. I am gonna use our TV on this one as well Just a tiny bit And the threads underneath the washer, you know, I gotta say I should have bought this Years ago. This is a 14 Just finger tight for now See what I'm doing. I just used that washer and whatever I've used so far Gas kit wise or O-ring wise whatever The old ones I all like I mentioned before I kept and I'm putting them away The gasket said that I bought a lot extra came in the package. So do this So you don't miss anything. This side is slightly different. Well besides the plug. I'm gonna reuse These two from the oh six STI even though the black is an oh eight WRX. This one is just more Thicker, let me show you the WRX one. So as you can see This is WRX. This is STI. Hopefully this will fit now. I just got it cleaned this up So I cleaned up these bolts some of them had a little bit of RTV and Them just doing this with a wire brush now I'm gonna apply oil and this O-ring. I Don't know what the torque specifications are and these Phillips screws. I'm just gonna make it tight Not too tight Can't be you know more than 10 or so Foot pounds of torque Okay, that should be good. All right cleaned up the cover Before I put it on I'm gonna torque these plugs down To people say 25 31 33 some manuals. I mean I'm gonna try 33. I'm gonna go up to 51 Okay Now our TV needs to go all around this cover, okay But what I've noticed Some of these go through like this one Doesn't but these go through This one doesn't this one doesn't I can see the inside actually goes through and through the outside here so this one goes through the outside and This one does as well. So what I'm gonna do. I'm just gonna put RTV around And the inside and on the outside of where the screws go again, just finger tight for now wait till the RTV dries up. You can see it squeezed out a bit It's gonna wait an hour for this and that should be it for the block the seal is up next RTV should be dry by now. It's been an hour All right, this is the old seal It's been sitting outside Out on top of the bench. That's why it's so dirty, but I want to point something out Hopefully you'll be able to see it is that this oil seal is directional Okay, just double check All right, this is gonna go in the box So Maybe you can see it. Maybe not. There are lines and gold lines all around on The inside of the seal they go this way all around The crank the back of the crank Spins this way. Okay, so what this means that this is a directional oil seal Now if these lines these grooves kind of would be the other way around meaning This way, you know this way Then this seal would leak but since the crank spins this way, you know We're looking at the back of the engine so this is the back of the crank since it spins this way the oil kind of spins with it and it hits these lines and These these grooves and as the oil hits it the oil goes back inside If the lines would be this way Then it would leak out But since they are this way, you know, there are different types of seals there They can be two directional one directional left or right whatever So make sure double check whenever you do any kind of oil seal double check Look at these lines So you don't have you don't end up Installed the wrong seal and you don't end up with an oil leak. I don't have the special tool To install this oil seal. So I'm gonna oil this up on the inside and the outside. I did wipe this mallet From dirt Okay, and I'm gonna tap this in Okay, sorry I didn't show this but I had someone in here. I wasn't gonna was doing the work while Someone was talking to me. Anyways, you saw I had a hard time Doing this with just a mallet. It kept popping out. So I used fortunately enough. I have this oil filter Suck it. Okay, I have a whole set of these things and this is the perfect size for that. So Yeah, I Used that pretty much and I kind of I wiped off most of the oil. I Guess I had too much oil and that's why maybe that's one of the reasons why it kept popping off on the other side So, yeah, so that's this is what I used So you don't want to go any deeper than the edge of the block It needs to be flush with the edge just so the inside seal sits just I Don't know maybe two millimeters and the on the inside away from the edge of the Crank so now that we have everything done on this Back of the engine It's time to put put it on a stand. I'm going to bring it to the edge of the workbench All right, I'm gonna reinstall these studs These don't have to be super tight These are 14 mil. These are the exhaust nuts or turbo whatever all those. So that's what I'm using to Hold up the block while it's on the stand Okay These are obviously The transmission mounting points. All right now that the engine found its way onto the stand decided to do The oil pump first got to remove the crank bolt Yes, I did. I got me a 12 millimeter pump. I believe they come from 2000 some I don't know something 3.6 or 3 even 3.0 legacy GT 12 made in Japan 12 if you ever buy these make sure it says 12 Several times on the pump Especially on the inside here. Okay, so the pump came with its own oil seal and new bolts See the it all came from dealer Good stuff. Yeah, we're gonna be using silicone or RTD on this So we're just gonna wipe it off with brake cleaner and wipe the pump as well Turn the pump and check for fitment Okay, I'm gonna install the seal onto the pump before I put the pump back on a little bit of oil on the inside and outside Remember I was talking about these lines on the on that big seal for the the rear main seal These lines are the opposite way because the cranking in front of the engine spins This way the opposite of what it spins in the back now. I'm gonna apply some RTD On the pump It's just easier Then doing it on the block but your choice so the rubber seals go here Okay, basically going on the inside of the bolt holes Okay, and around this area here plenty of room for the seal The seal I'm gonna install on to the block right now Little bit of oil on the seal the oil really also Makes a better seal but also keeps it keeps the seal in place Makes it stick and I just did put an extra bead Over here remember to check Make sure these are on the pump as well finger tight For now, we're gonna wait for that RTD to dry up a bit So very lightly these I'm gonna torque down to five foot-pounds of torque Now it's time for the water pump. I'm gonna reuse my old one. It only has 37,000 miles on it It's just dirty and then clean all this up clean up the bolts and reuse those And I did torque down the oil pump and the pattern would be Just starting in the middle and then work your way out So let's say number one two three four five six Seven okay now it's time for the water pump. See this hole here This hole goes through behind the seal inside If the water pump ever developed develops a leak it will leak through this hole first all right brand new gasket nine foot-pounds of torque for the water pump starting from This boat so this one here and then go on counterclockwise I'm not gonna torque it to nine It's gonna kind of snug them in all around first I'm gonna do a two-step Water pump done Before I do anything else. I thought I'd take care of the bottom here Put the oil pan back on just to cover up this hole. So I don't got to worry about the dust Getting in here and before I bolt this down. I want to test fit the oil pickup tube This is the stock one. I Heard read about and heard stories that these actually crack Right about here. I See no visible cracks on mine, but I'm gonna replace it anyways And what I got is this the moroso pickup tube That's for later It's fit all right the torque specifications for the bottle right here or seven point two I'm just gonna go eight. So the pickup tube was eight the baffle plate It's going to be five double-check test fit the oil pan wonder how high is the Pickup to how close the pickup tube is to the bottom of the pen. I would say about half an inch Should be okay. So right now the oil pickup tube is six and one eighth and the Red six about six and a half Six and three eight six and a half. It's a little bit less than half an inch So about this much I'd say it's perfect time for our TV Before our TV, there is a little all ring It is actually different and The way it goes is this flat part of it. It's gonna go down onto the oil pan We're gonna do a little bit of oil as usual So remember the ribbed part of it up away from the oil pan the flat Towards the oil pan All right, I know putting silicone on the outside of the bolt holes. It's probably unnecessary. I did it anyways It won't hurt I am reusing the old bolt by the way Some of them are rusty little bit Surface rust some of them are not but that's okay with me Tiny amount of RTV coming out. That's probably the perfect amount Looking good so far. So I'm gonna give this a rest for one hour and come back to it and torque it down Okay, it's been an hour the torque specifications for the oil pan bolts is 3.6 but my torque wrench does not go anything lower but five So I'm just gonna do five so what I can do instead of going all the way to five. I can look at the numbers Just go 4.6 Just being careful. I'm actually just gonna go around
