I Had To TEARDOWN My ENTIRE Engine For a $1 O-Ring

This is the beginning of the Subie Baja offroad edition engine rebuild. The engine had some oil leaks and coolant leaks and I address them in this video. What a pain... Literally the oil leak came from a simple o-ring failure. Cars in a nut shell. "WHAT MAKES A SUBARU A SUBARU"
#build #fail

i know the pain man, i use these types of jobs to add other after market parts at the same time so it doesn't feel like all that work for such a small issue, and saves me time later on.

[@Manvscars]

Right! Yeah I gotta whine a little bit doing big projects lol. I also wished this had more going for it with aftermarket support. Hard to find stuff. idk.

[@bluetyphoon2100]

If I could have all the cars in the world I'd have a clean B9 and a Lincoln Blackwood. I honestly don't even think the B9s are ugly. I get excited seeing them lol. Just a regular economy car to most people. More fun if you know Subarus story behind them and the rarity. Great content man I had fun watching.

[@Manvscars]

Thanks man! Lincoln Blackwood, wasn’t that the truck thing?

[@bluetyphoon2100]

@@Manvscars it was fords weird attempt at a luxury truck before luxury trucks were really a thing. It had a weird fold up tunno cover and a carpeted bed haha.

[@wilsonbirtwistle1520]

also, I respect it all being solo I know it's quite hard to tackle some of these jobs without an extra pair of hands.

While you're in there....
Oh no my new part was bad and now I gotta go back in

[@SportyPompano]

I helped take out one of these engines from a subaru forester a while back with a buddy of mine. It was suprisingly way simpler than i thought it would be to get an engine out haha

[@Manvscars]

Yep, not terrible at all to remove.

[@Align700nitro]

I didn't even know the suitcase muffler started with tribeca. I thought it's a wrx only thing.

[@Manvscars]

Yuck, they put them on the wrx’s too? I didn’t know that. Stupid heavy and awkward.

[@David-yy7lb]

I never will understand why Subaru thought a boxer engine that splits in half was a good idea vs a v or inline

[@interstellarconundrum4774]

impressive. How do you remember the order of things and getting the bolts in the right holes.

[@1Jomarcel]

Some people show off 500.000 miles car and skips the whole story what it been through

[@Manvscars]

Wait, what?

[@pingpong9656]

That is a terrible design... a better engineer could easily eliminate the o-rings at those points.

[@Manvscars]

Right, for sure.
