While I know it stinks the engine has to be replaced it’s honestly nice seeing an engine tear down. Given all the articles about the RTV issue this gives a good glimpse at the engine as a whole and not just the pick up tube.
great vid. Nice to know there isnt an insane amount of RTV on the timing cover. Seems like dropping the oil pan once maybe twice for the life of the car should be enough. I can rest easy now.. unless I've underestimated things?
I'd love to see you get in at the connecting rods in the next video. I've heard it's a different process compared to the old motors so it'd be really cool to see how that's done.
Rebuild it for lower compression and a reliable boosted 400+whp, do a realistic budget for the rebuild. Get lots of content with the rebuilt motor, lots of people will tune in for a boosted FA24D, AVO turbo world has already shown the capability of the fa24f, this should be very doable. This is an oppurtunity to guide an entire community of people into boosting their 2nd gens whether theyre new to the platform or have plenty of experience with boxers and 1st gen. Do the turbo manifold with gtech cats since they seem to be one of the best options right now.
You might need to change the timing cover too, if there is a metal pieces in the oil pump. I know the first gen is one piece with the timing cover ( dumb and expensive to replace)
All motor fa/b24 coming soon, I hope. Is a wire tuck job planned for reinstall? Also, time to install and showcase all of the trick parts for this engine....
So with this engine failure being possibly a bearing problem are you replacing the oil cooler (warmer) and fully disassembling the oil pump and vvt gears?
When you put it back together, make sure RTV is HALF the factory spec or less, and tacky before the parts go together. If you see any RTV beading out after torque, that's too much.
@@olivermcleod144 oh yes I have known that for a long time. I’ve seen intake valves on the Mazda Miata after 3000 miles with carbon build up. The dual injection should be so much better in our BRZs. Just thought it would be nice to have seen the intake as you had the head off.
There's a lot of RTV everywhere. Other than the actual color of the RTV it's almost nearly impossible to tell where the RTV that's getting stuck in people's pickup tubes is coming from.
So where you seeing an excessive amount on all surfaces and was they a concerning amount of a bead of RTV protruding inwards in all of those areas????????
The audacity of this dogwater company is hilarious. Buy your parts from somewhere else than FTSpeed or Subispeed folks; support somewhere that supports its employees and treats them with respect. An 8-year, passionate, face-of-your company employee deserves the respect and courtesy of at least a conversation being had about any conflicts of interest or things that would necessitate termination of employment if continued. To outright fire him out of the blue without giving him a heads up or notice that something he is doing/saying will not fly and deny him the ability to make an informed decision on what his options are going forward reflects poorly upon FTSpeed/Subispeed. In a game where you just play the middleman, I will gladly take my business elsewhere to some other middleman that isn't FTSpeed/SubiSpeed; there are a plethora of other options out there that can access more or less the same catalogue of items. FTSpeed/Subiespeed did Kevin Vo dirty, when Kevin Vo was a SIGNIFICANT part of why the company is as successful as it is today - hopefully yall's marketshare takes a deserving hit and Kevin lands somewhere that will treat him better and be worthy of the good-business his passion and efforts bring forth.
Most modern boxer engines look nothing like VW boxer engines. I remember the first time I saw under a VW microbus. I was thrilled to see just how simple a car could be built.

I'm a mechanic
facts!
You’re a mechanic
observe. a great artiste.
I’m not a mechanic and I always thinking during the video: “How they can reassemble it without any worries?” 🫡
@@xBLUE97x oh, I'm worried 😅

Replace timing chain guides, they are wear items, with heat cycles aging them brittle.
Badass video! I think this has got to be one of the earlier FA24 teardowns. Super cool to see as a 22 BRZ owner.

This is awesome. This has to be the first fa24 teardown! Probs.
Need to see the bottom end of the fa24 asap tho!!!

Really interested to see comparisons between the fa24 and the fa20!
Doing gods work. Thank you!
Turbo time? Some kits are almost out
Beautiful engine teardown

I want to know if you can put the HKS stroker crankshaft for the fa20 into that engine.
Part 2! I need more.
Thanks Kevin! Enjoyed your video, now I want to tear down my new engine 😂
Love the content, like and I have subscribed
I have worked on a lot of boxer engines. It always amazes me just how poorly designed and assembled the Subaru's are.
This was awesome sauce!!
Someone should make and sell gaskets for whole engine.
So with this engine failure being possibly a bearing problem are you replacing the oil cooler (warmer) and fully disassembling the oil pump and vvt gears?
Yes, everything will be getting sent out to be cleaned or replaced if necessary.
How much was the new short block? Stock FA24?
how much does it matter to undo the bolts in a star pattern?
Could potentially warp the heads if not done properly.
Would an STI intake manifold fit?

Yall got shops in Cali?
Is there any carbon buildup in the intake valves??
dual fuel injection really helps keep carbon deposits down, so its not that big of a concern on the fa20/fa24 afaik

Kevin I saw the comment on the rtv on the timing cover mating surfaces. How bad did the rest of the rtv sites look on the motor?

I bet the oil pick up is full of silicone. Other people have had issues with that
Nah, it's full of metal.
@@FTspeed 😂😂😂
Wow I didn't know that, its not like this channel did a video and MANY OTHERS that own this car

So far everything looks to be reusable. My bet is a bad rod bearing. Probably chewed the crank all up.
The quality of the sealing is absolutely atrocious.
Motor building services hmmmm
Put the Corolla gr in it suabru is garbage
Lil different from the old vw nazi engines I worked on back in the day....too damn complicated....but its japanese.

This ain’t Toyota engine lol this Subaru
