Please document the process as you disassemble the engine. You're the first one that will take apart the engine and everyone is dying to know what changes / improvements they made to the fa24 over the other fa engines and the fa20. It would be great content too

Sorry to hear about the money shift and thank you for the video. The amount of RTV found in the pick up is negligible and will not cause any issues. Mind sharing the build date and the mileage of the car? Thanks.

A moment of silence for the 86 😔🙏🏻 hopefully we see it back up running soon

I'm using thicker oil (slight overfill) + larger pick-up tube for better oil pressure + baffles with flaps/doors. Over 30 track days revving 7800RPM, never has a problem, it is very fast with mods.

Massive clickbait title.

IMPORTANT: You must remove the Front Pipe from the over pipe in order to give enough room for the header to be removed and put back. Otherwise you will spend hours trying to angle the headers in place with the over pipe in the way...

These cars are being beaten to death. A normal driver will have no issues

Its starting to look like all the blown engines are caused by money shifts. The RTV in the pickups is just a coincidence. Im not saying the RTV cant be

Maybe the track days we’re not a good idea😂

SUBARU engines made for grandmothers driving up to 40-50 MPH

Well, if I decide to get back into tracking/autocross on a regular basis I'm thinking an ND Miata (again). Good video, thanks for all the detail and no BS presentation.

Foster was killin' it on his WRX; but now, Kevin is going to be killin' it w/this rebuild saga.......sorry to hear, but on the bright side, it is now the perfect time to balance and blueprint the engine (and address other short-comings of the FA24). Plenty of ppl seem to build short/long blocks, so this should be no different. all of the parts are out there. address the weak areas and you are golden; pick up where Subaru left off....good luck.

That oil pan is looking like a year's salary for an 1800's gold panner, damn that sucks, hope it gets back on the road soon!

looking forward to an engine build series. Don't think I've seen anyone do the new engine

I do sometimes find it a bit tricky to remember which gear I'm in with this for some reason, which is a problem I haven't had before on various other cars and big rigs. I could definitely understand how it could be money shifted into oblivion on track when your RPMs are quite high.

I've been seeing nothing but *my 86 blew up, or gr86 is in the shop, like damn, making me wanna think twice about a 86.

Still waiting on my BRZ come this December. I've only seen/heard the engine failures and RTV issues towards the GR86 despite being manufactured all the same. Time will tell.

Curious to see what failed.. also even more curious to see how stout the piston and rods are once it's all apart

It does suck that the fa24 died. Please tear the engine down, and check a few things. See what type of valve springs they have used, and if they added retainers. How many oil ports to the crank. The fa20 had three ports for four bearings. I really hope they changed this one to have four ports for four bearings. Would be awesome to see what they changed if anything. It has been what has kept me from trying to buy one. If this one has addressed a lot of the fa20 issues I would actually try to get one. If they, didn't motor swap time on my first gen.

people say it’s just subie owners that give the cars reliability a bad wrap but i feel like honda and toyotas can handle the same abuse without breaking or even blowing up
