I see this "angle" torque strategy in several vids. Could you please elaborate on this system and why it is used?

Andybj says:

The chemistry is riveting.

Jon Strande says:

These engines are poo. Can't even line hone the mains, split block leaks oil. Piston excess wear and tear. Etc.

cLuTcH BleacH says:

So expensive good lord. Hopefully everything goes smooth for me on my 2.5i

C HAGER says:

Yeah I really like this it's perfect I'm getting ready to rebuild my 2.5 turbo XT Subaru outback I'm just a shade tree backyard mechanic but I've built a lot of motors that way some of them made it to the drag strip!

Ayeote99 says:

No torque plate for the power hone?

MrBeans says:

You guys have done it once again! I LOVE your videos! Just wish we could trade places lol!
Surprised yall dont wear gloves tho when doing engine builds.

Æon says:

That digital torque gauge is slick! Been watching these series in case I have to pull my engine for the first time (never done one) but it's really awesome to see how it's done! Great job guys!

Miguel Velez says:

We’re you guy from

David Mitchell says:

Didn't pre stretch the headstudz like arp specify though?!?

dcinhere says:

We install the pistons separately with the crank all ready in the short block at the factory. I build all 2.5 and 2.4 turbos in the outbacks and accents. I guess these are different even though the basic layouts are the same.

RobHTech says:

Very interesting. Great vid. How much did the rebuild cost, including the machine shop? Very interesting to make a stroker engine. I just noticed that the heads are off kilt due to the alignment of the pistons-crank

Julie says:

Great video! I recently had the short block replaced in my 2009 Subaru Forester XT due to excessive oil burning. A week after I got my car back from my Subaru dealership, I can still smell the oil. Is it because the new parts are still breaking in or the job wasn't done right? Thank you for your time.

Yuu Vvv says:

EJ25いいですね。

Nicolas Rosado says:

Did they torque plate hone the block?

El_Gandu says:

How much does that engine build up cost?

remissive slave 1871 says:

Junk. This motor will be rebuilt 10 times by 300k miles

erll nutz says:

I absolutely loved this video up until ya'll started torquing the case halves with the cringiest stop stick sound I've heard since the last time I torqued a head down with a click wrench. Please for the love of god don't ever assemble case halves without lubricating the head of the bolt first. Please. I am on my knees begging you. I will remove all of my tattoos and start going to church if it means I never have to witness that shit again

Sam Pickering says:

Guys, wayyyy to much rtv on those block half mating surfaces! The very bare minimum amount is required, less is more here
