 Hello boys and girls back with the Subaru. We got what part 15 now Today I'm gonna attempt to prime the engine with oil which turns out it's not gonna be easy So stay tuned as we continue the EJ25 build So this is what I got already diluted blue coolant. This is good for mostly Asian cars Subarus all nine and up, but the black is the same in older models all the way up to 04 even probably before so it's okay. It's safe for older Subarus. I Do have some old Well, not all but the green coolant in the reservoir tank. I should probably drain that out You're just clean this up. There was actually a lot of quite a lot of dirt all All here on this wall on the inside and on the bottom looks much better Spray brake cleaner all around a few times shook it Few times then filled it with water a few times. It's like new All right, that's fine. I'm gonna keep the cap on it But now I'm gonna close it all the way just so it sits on it. So there's air coming out. I'm also gonna change the Oil filter before I fill fill it up with oil to this cheap cheapest one possible where we are gonna be changing the oil You know started the run for a little bit to see if everything's okay And then it's gonna get its first oil change because the oil filter that's on there now It's mobile one. It's a bit more expensive that one. I'm gonna use for another maybe 500 miles or so The second oil change. I also fill this up About halfway with oil 530 regular oil pens oil. It's one of those oils where it doesn't have many additives That's what you want for your very first oil for breaking. I'm halfway On the dipstick which is fine Okay, got a wire. Well, I got my oil pressure gauge already wired. I That sensor that I installed while back. That's what it was for Just gotta plug it in and hope it works. All right got coolant got oil been charging the battery overnight Yeah, make sure your battery is fully charged before you start cranking now. I don't have to worry about The car or the engine starting because the fuel pump is disconnected. That's why I didn't connect it But in your case if you if you if you're not replacing the fuel pump All you got to do is Disconnect the crank Sensor, which is right here. This way the engine will not start before you have oil pressure Okay ignition on Got my new oil pressure gauge We're gonna watch that I'm gonna watch this Oil light Right there Pressing the clutch New clutch feels pretty firm much well not much but It is harder to press than stock Alright, let's give it a crank. I'm gonna stop right here Give the starter a rest Don't want to kill it. I got a mount this gauge. Oh, it sounds good Like there's compression Take three. I'm gonna give it a longer rest Meanwhile, I'm gonna unmarry the access 2.0. I have no idea how to do it Okay, remove access port from vehicle, I guess so Connect the green test mode Connectors the connectors are typically found under the driver's side dash. Okay Not sure what they mean they found the plug It's these guys. It was actually pretty difficult To connect these to the green plug there, but it's doing it So it's working I'm using the ipass Stickers to mount the gauge. There we go. You can see these two The light is a little bit dull compared to the brand new one But it's not really noticeable. Oh man. I gotta disconnect that plug connectors are disconnected Uninstall successful, please turn ignition key to the off position Okay, I Guess that's it. Let's try cranking it again. Not sure why it's taking so long a minute or two maybe and well, it's been It's been maybe a minute of cranking so it probably needs one more minute Okay, guys, so I'm a bit worried at this point I've been cranking it for what about two minutes. I'm gonna unscrew the filter. I did fill it up with oil And see if any oil comes out Should have some build up. Okay. Nothing is coming out That's not good This is dry There's actually no oil in there So nothing came out which is weird, but what's weirder is that there is no oil in the filter. I did Fill it up halfway Maybe even more than halfway and it somehow got sucked out okey-dokey As you can see the car is apart again because I didn't get oil pressure now. I took the oil pan off as you can see here. I Banned it to hell Anyways because of the RTV it was glued to the black and And there's limited room where I can take a You know, it's a chisel or something and Nicely pry it off. That wasn't wasn't happening. So I just kind of got pissed off and shoved a screwdriver and ripped it off and that's why Here you go. That's why it's all bent So that's probably gonna be new And I'm gonna get in a WRX pen which doesn't have this dent Right here. So it holds more oil, which is good Anyway, so I I took this off to check the oil pickup tube and this is good. I remember to put the oil seal here So this was good, which is bad news. I was hoping that was gonna be it So that's why I had to take the timing off to get to the Oil pump. So this is the next step To see if that spring is functional inside the pump. That's what creates pressure. I may have a faulty oil pump So this is actually pretty dry this spring. There's some oil here, but that could have been from assembly All right, the pump is out and It's dry. I'm gonna take this apart and look at the actual pump If I can break these open Man, these are tough. Oh Man, I don't know So I had to sleep on it Didn't get much sleep Many thoughts going through my head what may be wrong the pump looks good mechanically You know, no parts missing. You know all the important stuffer is there Inside the pump I didn't miss any seals The pickup tube It's not clogged. I Didn't miss the sea on the pickup too so the only thing that's left is That there was just air inside the pump and It would not prime on its own So what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna pack it. This is a this is there's an old trick to pack the Pump with Vaseline. I can use Vaseline. I can use assembly lube. I can use You know thick oil basically fill this area up with something Vaseline is Petroleum based so it will mix once it's heated up. It will mix with the oil and basically disappear So here you go some Vaseline So what I'm gonna do I need to make sure that because I'm gonna put RTV on the pump So once I get it up like this the oil will not come out and interfere with the RTV so I'm thinking maybe just pack it in here and Put a little bit of oil down there so it kind of fills up quickly You know I think that's enough of Vaseline Because it is cold. I'm just gonna fill it up with with the assembly lube here. Okay Now the plate I need to make sure this plate Will sit through on the pump and I am gonna use a tiny tiny amount of blue lactite And these screws I don't want the lactite to come up under the screw here. I Need to make sure that the screw goes all the way down So the lactite will only be applied to the bottom thread This should be enough Okay, just a little bit These do like to back out and right before putting it on I'm gonna just fill it up with oil right in there So this sucks. Yeah Had to take the timing belt off a few pulleys tensioner Obviously the the cover the alternator belt the the radiator All I had to come out to get to the oil pump now. I gotta clean off the RTV remember to put the seal back on fill it up with coolant Actually what I'm gonna do. I'm not gonna fill it up with coolant. I'm just gonna put Finish the timing fill it up with oil and Then crank it and see if the pressure builds up. I'm not gonna put any of the covers back on Just to make sure and I need to finish it up underneath I took the oil pan off, but everything looks good over here. I took the oil cooler off. I took the Part of the header off now. I am thinking I did I did order a Pan oil pan from an o2 to o4 WRX from the 2.0 engine the EJ 25 the EJ 2020 I bent my Oil pan here. This is fixable. That's not a big issue But I may have an issue with that WRX pan because it has a smaller hole here So I don't know if that pickup tube will fit in here So this one goes in like that. So but it's on its way. It's just it's supposed to be here today All right a little update oil pump is back on timing is done but I'm still I got the oil pan from the O2 between O2 and O4 WRX it is bigger you can see The STI has this kind of a dent here and this doesn't so this will hold an extra Quart of oil which is which is good But there's a problem the baffles inside are in the way so the pickup tube sits right about here in the stock oil pan and Here you can see the top buff. There's two baffles both are in the way The top one it would need some cutting right here. That's probably what I'm going to do I'm gonna cut it because I really want this oil pan to work I'm gonna cut this top baffle right about here somewhere and then I'll get to the bottom one All right guys, that is it for this one in the next video. We're gonna finish modifying Hacking the oil pan. You'll see what I mean in the next episode Also, I'm actually going to install the cab flex fuel kit and as always like subscribe dislike comment Do something and I'll see you soon
