Part 1: Burning Oil Leak (Dripping on Exhaust) Subaru Forester 2.5 https://youtu.be/05R61NAwy54
It's great that you can show us so much of the work so closely as you do it, thanks
If it is not BROKE why Fix it.
@3:40… These re-leak because after you seal these, you MUST let the RTV cure overnight before refilling. Most shops won't do that because they want the car off the lift to get the next paying customer in. This is why I always seal these at the end of the day, so they can sit overnight. When you fill these, oil pools there. That's why all that oil dumped out when you loosened the cover. If the RTV is wet, oil will push a path through as it sit there and the RTV soaks in oil. @19:10… Know what help with phalange fatigue AND saves money? caulking gun with the big tubes of RTV Grey.
When I worked in a shop, we had one guy that would work on Subarus, and even he hated them lol
I worry about power washing the engine compartment. I know someone that did it and after he did his alternator burnt up. After power washing the engine on my 1999 Chevy suburban, I had to replace the mass flow sensor.
I can't believe out of all these comments, nobody commented on the "tree sperm" line. That was classic!!! I about busted a gut laughing when I heard him say that!!! I told my wife about it, and she said, "You and I both know that the next time you have to remove tree debris from the windshield wiper cowl on OUR car, you're going to be calling it 'tree sperm'!!!" She's most likely right!!!!
It is amazing how people think you should remove the engine or replace the head gasket. It is so easy to judge when the work doesn’t come out of your pocket.
The two cam cover gaskets and rtv give up about the same time as the timing cover rtv.
Complete engine reseal easier with the engine out.
the biggest problem is we have way way to many KARENS in the world today.
Just did this one, couple of items, possibly not necessary but I, just to be sure, put rtv around the bolt holes on the outside edge of the cover as well. I also tighten all the bolts just past finger tight then to 5 ftlbs. the next day. To give the rtv a chance to set up a bit to help ensure some stays in the joint.
Putting the crankshaft snout piece in place before tightening any of the bolts would have been a good idea.
FYI I think that u should buy some stock in the company that makes brake clean
Is removing the engine necessary? Nope. Is the Subaru flat 4 one of the easiest modern engines to remove? Yep.
37:04 Ray, i cant tell if there's regret in your voice. Hopefully not.
