Today we are installing the engine for this 2010 Impreza. If you are new here, this all started as a head gasket job. (As we know, failed head gaskets are very common for Subaru 2.5l engine. You’ll find a Subaru repair playlist below if you’d like to check any previous episode regarding engine removal, cost to machine heads, engine tear down, etc.) Installing the Subaru engine is being done in my small, one car garage. If I can accomplish this job at home so can you. Tools used are listed below as well. Cheers.

The stretch belt setup seems like it sucks!
I have never used coolant conditioner or special Subaru coolant with modern MLS head gaskets–no issues.
Beautiful! It was like watching a movie. Thanks.
Oil still dripping from the oil filter even if changed from my 04 Subaru Impreza 2.5 ts and there is oil on the bottom black steering rack
Really satisfying video to see this project come to completion !
If you ever need to understand the EVAP/fuel tank system of the 2008-2011 Impreza 2.5i better than what they explain in the service manual, here it is (with a lots of pictures):https://www.toronto-subaru-club.com/forums/showthread.php/211637-Deciphiring-the-2008-2014-EVAP-system-hoses-and-where-they-connect?highlight=impreza+evap
Great job.
It illustrates why capable independent Subaru shops (I'd never go to a stealership) charge what they do.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing. I have never owned a Subaru, but a relative (who is a mechanic) did years ago. And he said they are one of the best cars ever. Will get one on the used car market here.
