Car Fix DIY Videos

Hey Guys – I’m Luke and this is the SubaruONLY Channel! It’s a Subaru DIY channel that’s dedicated to sharing these topics:
– Subaru Tech Tips,
– Engine Builds & Swaps,
– Performance Upgrades,
– Home Workshop Tips & Hacks,
– And – How to Race YOUR Subaru in Motorsport Events!

——— Origin of the SubaruONLY Channel ———
I started this channel to share my passion for BUILDING and RACING Subarus! These cars and their engines are truly amazing and are one of the most versatile and reliable platforms in the Automotive Industry. Not only that, but they have always done it with a style that is totally unique and all their own!

I LOVE these cars, I have for many many years. I’ve also been fortunate enough to have the opportunities be get involved in a wide range of Motorsport competitions. From the Baja 500/1000 races, to competing in circle track, and sand/paved drag racing, it’s been an awesome journey so far…I just wish I started documenting it all back in the early 2000s! With all the awesome technology out there today, I decided in it was time to start using it to SHARE this passion for BUILDING and RACING Subarus! So, in early 2017 I started the SubaruONLY YouTube Channel…Hope you’ll join me on this awesome journey!

——— Current Builds / Motorsports Events ———
(1) 1994 Subaru Impreza 1.8L AWD w/ 5-Spd.
I’m swapping an EJ20G Turbo motor (1996 JDM STi) into this little white GF series hatchback. The motor is now complete. This will be the next build series – Stay tuned!

(2) 1993 Subaru Legacy 2.2L FWD w/ 5-Spd.
I’m currently racing this car in a state-wide RallyX Series called the California Rally Series. This car will be heading to the drag strip in coming weeks – Stay tuned for that! This car is mildly upgraded with an aftermarket exhaust, intake, and strut tower bar.

(3) 2000 Subaru Forester 2.5L AWD w/ 5-Spd.
I’m doing the head gaskets on this one RIGHT NOW – See the current build series!

——— Build Status and Video Summary ——–
(1) Build Overview: This video is Part 5 of a build series doing the classic HEAD GASKET repair on a 2.5L Subaru engine. The general concepts outlined here, however, typically apply to ALL Subaru head gasket repair jobs.

(2) Build Status: The engine is out and fully disassembled, I had the heads surfaced, I removed all the carbon buildup on the exhaust valves, the heads have been reassembled, I’ve installed the MLS head gaskets, and torqued down the heads (see previous videos for all these steps).

(3) Summary of This Video: Now it’s time to install the Camshafts! In this video I walk you through all the critical steps to installing the camshafts, camshaft caps, and rocker arm assemblies – Hope you enjoy!
