    Good video. It always amazes me how simple the timing is on an EJ, yet folks are scared to tackle it.
    Couple things that may help your viewers - you didn’t mention bleeding the tensioner. Aisin recommends cycling the hydraulic tensioner 3 times with it upright before installation. Also it’s good practice to turn the motor over by hand a full rotation (2 turns of the crank pulley) to make sure the timing marks come back to in time and there is no binding as you turn it over.
    Good stuff. Love your channel

    In a pinch you can get more than 1 timing service out of an OEM water pump if you are buying the parts individually. But the Aisin kit water pump is OEM quality and you'll end up paying more purchasing individually from Subaru for all the parts included in the kit. I've been pretty happy with them.

    @smeedia I was actually looking ror 2005-2007 sti replacement door cards and from what I have found out is that the Door cards and the blue sti carpet are discontinued. So you can not buy them from the dealer anymore. Unless there is a dealer that has spares laying around. They sell door cards but they are black or maybe even the one you have. So they are becoming a little rare now.

    Driver side intake pully may spin on you as you take the belt off, not the end of the world if you have moved the engine to TDC as you should before starting the timing service. it is possible to spin the intake pully without popping the bolt cover off but if you use a cam alignment tool it will be necessary to remove. I recall the intake needs to rotate clockwise and exhaust counter clockwise if they do end up spinning on you. I didn't see any mention of bleeding the tensioner, did your kit recommend it?

    Passenger seat SRS harness. If you want to, you can repair it. In the industry we are not allowed to repair them. If you use a crimp connector or even solder it back together you have the potential to change the resistance of the wire. More resistance could cause the airbag to deploy late, less resistance could cause it to deploy early, or it could not deploy at all. Hence why we can not repair them, super big liability issue.

If you just leave it alone (i would find the wires and individually wrap them in electrical tape) it should be fine. The passenger airbag just won't work.

    Wow, I didn't get any drawing showing me how the timing belt goes on. That's actually nice. I did pick up a Company 23 tool that holds the cams in place. I also had to replace that short hose on the oil cooler/heater. But I used a generic hose from Autozone for $1. I didn't even consider Subaru. My local Subaru places have almost nothing in stock ever. Actually pretty disappointed in the Subaru service department. They don't seem to know that much about their cars compared to other companies. They always ask for the VIN number every time and I have to tell them that the VIN will not help them with how modded this car is lol. But the parts counter at my local place when trying to find new window stabilizers has littery argued with me trying to say that those parts weren't on the car. Haha, I have 4 windows each window has 2 stabilizers I usually have to show them the Subaruparts.com site showing the part number. Like they don't believe me. Never had issues like this with my Toyota or Honda builds. Strange
