 hey guys welcome back today we're taking the Subaru apart again for those who are not familiar with what happened basically we got a loss of power at high rpms and an oil leak which is coming from the wastegate solenoid which means there is either a blow by or the turbo is about to go the oil is coming from somewhere so what we got to do is a few tests i'm gonna try and get to the turbo check the play on the on the shaft do a compression test on all four cylinders check if there is any oil inside the intercooler and that's pretty much it i'm gonna check the spark plugs see how they look all right let's get to it okay so not much oil well there is oil in the intercooler that i was expecting to for it to to be dripping dripping out looks like there's quite a bit of oil in the intake that explains the smoking so that's your cold side of the turbo and that's just filled with oil anyways then this air compresses inside the intercooler and then enters the engine it's kind of dryish in there so is it coming from the turbo or is it coming from the engine is the question well look how clean the throttle body is it's gonna hard yep it's pretty clean all right you saw the numbers here's number one number two number three number four so a 20 percent difference is too much they should be if they were all at 120 that'd be nice that'd be good 128 or 130 i can't remember but a little bit higher would be ideal 120 is still okay too much of a difference between highest result between the lowest result so now i'm gonna go and check the planer turbo after much struggle this intake man they got four or five bolts underneath the intake manifold here you can see these and then more on that side there holding this harness and the fuel lines i mean i understand if i've taken these engines out before you know it's much easier to take the intake manifold off the engine when the engine is completely out of the car but if you gotta do a job you know let's say replace i wanted to take the turbo inlet pipe because these are prone to crack i want to take it out and check it out it seems okay it is it's got oil in there quite a bit just here the pipe i i don't see any visible cracks i'm gonna clean it and look at it again but man this intake anyways we got the turbo exposed the cold side you can see it a bit there i can't take this intake out completely because of the fuel lines here again i mean this is ridiculous there is a little screw which is upside down obviously to uh remove this this line here i'm not even gonna bother now but the main mission is completed which was getting to the turbo somewhat i'm gonna check the play okay so side to side there is a little bit of play which is okay which you know it's you gotta have very very little amounts of play side to side back and forth there's no play at all nada zippo nothing turns nice and free which kind of tells me that it's the engine so what do i do at this point obviously you gotta take the engine out take it apart there's probably damage to the pistons what's been happening with these engines is the um i don't have a piston to show you but let's imagine that this is the piston okay top bottom you got your piston rings right here right going around and in between the piston the piston would actually crack in between the rings on top on bottom in the middle in between and i mean i've seen where a body of mine actually had an o7 and the piston once we took the piston out just one of i believe was number four this whole piece like a c broke off in between the rings and just came out when we took the piston out out of the black it was the same kind of symptoms that my car is having right now which is quite a bit of oil consumption and low compression getting with this for hours now let me show you what's going on so at this point i already tried pulling it out several times took out the turbo i thought maybe there is a bolt that i'm missing or a nut behind the turbo but there isn't i mean i've had this hoist and twice already pulled it away for the third time rechecking if i'm missing any bolts because it just does not want to separate i started kind of trying to get a sharp screwdriver or you know some kind of a wedge in here trying to separate it i think it's just welded together from you know from dirt or it never being apart before i mean some of the stuff that i took out i didn't have to because it would come out with the engine but like i said it is impossible to separate at this point i guess i'm gonna have to get aggressive wasn't really filming it because i had many interruptions people coming in people calling me it's just on and off it got frustrated to a point where i just said turn the camera off and you know figured i would show you the final part where where the engine actually comes out all right so check this out i got it somewhat separated with this guy here this is a beast this air hammer anyways check this out i mean i'm i'm slowly but surely destroying the transmission housing here you can see it here i mean everywhere so this side looks like like it's coming off all around under underneath as well there's a dowel pin about halfway down and from the outside when i look at it from underneath it is pretty rusty i can see the head of it at first it looks like it like a broken bolt but it's not it's a dowel pin and that's where it's holding it all together yeah i mean look at this this is crazy never had anything like this happen to me before i've done maybe five four five subrues only one sti before it was no seven years and years ago i didn't have an issue like that this is crazy all right little update the problem area is separated now it's a matter of pulling it out to the front more so it clears the flywheel the the clutch and pulling it out which obviously is not going to be easy success check it out check it out the engine is out looks like from here it looks like the clutch is okay turbo you can see where it was stuck right here look at this it actually came out with some aluminum i don't know if you can see this but yeah this was the problem here and look at this i'm not really worried about this i'm just gonna file it down on the transmission and then on the engine i'm never gonna see it well never say never but you know what i mean you know you won't be able to see it the intercooler is right on top here and i must admit like a dumbass i forgot i was this much off and i couldn't pull it away anymore because i forgot there is this pin here where did i put it this pin i forgot to take this pin out it sits here and then holds the arm the clutch arm whatever you want to call this holds this in place and the i think the fork yeah the fork and this was this here was holding the throwout bearing right in there it was literally like this when i took it out so i had to put the engine push it back there's this ellen nut here take that out then you have access to the pin then you screw in a long 10 mil bolt and then you're able to pull this big ass pin out and then the fork becomes loose basically just you know take it off the throw out bearing and then voila it just slid off yep next step next step is to clear this off and this is going to be the the workbench the engine workbench for the time being all right guys that's it for this one next up we're gonna disassemble the engine see you later
