NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In my life i buy a subaru again!
These guys did a great job on this video. The one thing I never understood though is why mechanics never clean the parts when they put them back together. When people buy a brand new part and spent hundreds of dollars they want their car to look like they got a brand new part on it and everything looking clean shiny and new. I can’t stand it when they take things apart and then put them back together dirty and sometimes even dirtier then the engine was before it came into the shop. Clean the parts before you re-install everything so that the customer can tell and appreciate your work and the nice new part shows off!
Question. @9:29 he turns the bottom cam gear to the right/clockwise. I was told not to do that. To only turn that one counterclockwise and the one above that one clockwise to line them up. Is this wrong?
What kits are best to order for the Subaru? lots of talk that gates kits are not made like they used to be, and coming with china parts.
Excellent video… oh and good intro. Not too long, just short enough.
What does a 2002 Subaru Forester have..a belt or chain????
Great video. One question how much did you torque the crank bolt to?
Where is your location please
I don't trust myself to do this…
Am i the only person who was going OCD over that right hand Green line TOTALLY not being aligned even though he kept making us check over and over again for the damn thing! Great otherwise!
Easier fix is to get a car with a chain.
Very informative.
as a rexy owner…. I will most definitely be saving this one in the repairs playlist for future reference :') pretty sure the belt is due very soon…
Does it not matter that the AVCS cam gear spun when removing the belt? A lot of people mention about locking the cams together
For the markings on the belt. Were did u put them how far apart thanx
top top top
what a fantastic shop as well as the technician!
Hell ya I learnt something. Damn, thanks man. Big help when I go and speak to my mechanic when the timing belt needs to be replaced 🙂
Mishimoto thermostat will throw CEL's in December in California. Ask me how I know.
