easy-ish lol
I did chuckle a bit at this πŸ˜‰

I changed plugs on my 2014 outback and it had dry plug holes πŸ™‚ [wow I was happy about that!]
my sisters 2011 outback had a little oil [about a 1/4" ] in the drivers side. [ugh]
I hadnt seen a vid on this, but thought that was bad.
before removing the plug I Sprayed brake cleen down there & blew it out [messy] then wiped with paper towels to be sure.
the front plug hole had a little oil there [So I repeated the clean up] & told my sister what I found.
she told me to just put it back together so she could drive it [eek] so I did. . .
a couple years later It still running good – so there it is

I recommended she have a shop do the seal work, But now I see you do it – "maybe" I can do it.
with the extra time to do it.
I have a shop n tools. just need to buy those little hands and while In at buying stuff,
might as well order longer fingers too πŸ˜‰

I was super glad my 2014 was good. I keep the engine bay clean, So it "looks" better anyway πŸ˜‰

I sure appreciate your video's and bought myself a few tools as I see those I needed.
do wish my hands were smaller. Your Engine bays have more room than mine does πŸ™‚

Thank you for making it look easier – ish πŸ˜‰

German Cervantes says:

It is a mf getting that silicone cleaned up on them boxers i would just like to know your method.
Razors work i also have long reach carbide scrapers and still they are a pain

Caroline Schweitzer says:

Did the spark plugs on my 08 Legacy recently and had to loosen the fuse box too to get my manual torque wrench in the space. I see you have a Snap-on electric but what is the other one you are using or what would you recommend? Thanks.

Steve F says:

Nice video. Please show us a video changing the spark plugs on the BRZ. Even less space to work if you don’t jack up the engine. Not a fun job.

J P says:

Really well done video, I will be rewatching this one for sure when I tackle this project myself

Jim R says:

Does anyone know if the 2024 2.5 engine in the crosstreks still use timing chains vs belts?

TC says:

I just did this job on my '17 Forester on the drivers side. Pretty much identical to this. Cleaning off the old RTV is a nightmare. I used headless bolts screwed into the fuel rail cover holes as alignment pins to replace the cover. Putting the front of the vehicle on ramps and removing the plastic skid plate helped for getting at those bottom bolts and for cleaning off the old RTV.

Simple TV says:

Do you have a link for that torque wrench you're using for the cam cover bolts? I couldn't find it in your list of tools.
