This week Davin tackles timing on our Subaru EJ205. It's a few pulleys here, a couple of tensioners there, one long belt, and never enough hands to hold everything.

It's not much harder in the car, but using your phone as an inspection camera for the lower marks is a nifty tip. People definitely make it into a much bigger deal than it is, as with most things Subaru. The SOHC cars are even easier, of course. Can't say I endorse hammering on the belt, but it'll probably run at least. XD

Looking forward to the next engine...or maybe gearbox. You should try a mid 00's BMW 6 Cylinder for a change :) Love your videos ❤ MY RockAuto tip of the day is that if you live overseas (like in my case) ask your friends to order at the same time with you (from the same account at best), that way you save on some shipping costs and not to mention the delivery time is somewhat shortened since they will send a truck full of parts rather than 3-4 different ones on 3-4 different days. (Feel free to use this tip in the next video if you want). The thing i love the most about RockAuto is that they also deliver to Germany, i ordered lots of parts from them in the last few years. Im glad to see that Hagerty and RockAuto are working together.

From memory one trick with getting the belt on is to leave off one of the lower idler pulleys, install belt then install the pulley. It's not that bad to do in car but the dohc engines can be a bit painful because one side is rocking on the valves. I think there's actually a tool that locks the sprockets together.
2 ай бұрын
That is how the factory service manual tells you to do it. Add a couple of spring clamps and no extra hands are needed. Also, the three belt guides will help. Align the marks on the pulleys that have the guides, set the guides as close to the belt as you can. Align rest of the marks, install the last idler, pull the tensioner pin and set the guides for proper clearance. Easy.

From what I read of the service manual for my EJ207, the water pump bolts should be torqued to 7NM and in anti-clock wise order. I was worried about 7NM cannot hold the coolant pressure so I torqued them to 10NM and no problem at all.

Nice work on the timing belt setup. Only thing is that I WILL NOT hammer the belt into its position. That's what tensioner for. Just need simple close end wrench on the to turn it CW. It doesn't take much pressure to turn it and slip the belt in its place. It definitely need a 1/2" square hole in the middle for 1/2" ratchet wrench to turn it instead on the bolt... However, I don't know if it uses righty thread bolt.

@balletdude
@balletdude Жыл бұрын
Hey, the horizontal layout of the engine makes for some really well balanced engines. Somewhere on NASIOC there was a debate about solid/light weight pulley’s and harmonic dampening. After a lot of back and forth, someone emailed Subaru and got a reply from an engineer. They stated that the “dampener” was not functional as one, and one was not needed for the engine. Subaru’s are well known for rod bearings/oil starving issues, as well as other things. But I’m not aware of premature main wear caused by dampeners. I could be very wrong, this is just what I’ve found with research while working with Subaru engines.

I know almost all other engines need them, it’s hard to make anything balanced. H4 engines just end up being really well harmonically balanced, I think there’s a really good description of it in a “driving 4 answers” Subaru video on KZfaq (his videos are amazing). Subaru forums also end up being full of enginerds who over think and over analyze everything, it’s kinda great at times, and sometimes awful. I think some still make the argument for a harmonic balancer, while others reject the idea - unlike v8 engines where one is absolutely necessary. Check out the Subaru video by driving 4 answers. I’ll look again and see if that’s the right one. Cheers Maurice

@Michaels Carport I had one with a light weight flywheel on a gc8 motor, and it would stall sometimes because of the lack of rotating mass, I actually regretted putting the light pulley on. I actually would have put a stock one back on, but my new engine sits pretty visible (mid engine with no pulley covers). Aside from looking good, you’re right in them not really doing anything. I haven’t heard of anyone having premature main bearing wear from a light pulley though. Most Subarus blow up long before then lol. Is that something you’ve witnessed/read online?

Great to see someone doing it, but Subaru engines are tricky and have so many variations that the best lesson in this is do a lot of research on the particular engine you have, first. Special tools can't be avoided along with tried & tested procedures. I disassembled my four cylinder bike engine & rebuilt it without a manual no problems but a Subaru Boxer is on another level. Dual AVCS & turbo aren't fun under the bonnet but great behind the wheel. Just had to re-thread the timing belt tensioner bolt after a mechanic over-torqued & stripped it. I was just lucky it didn't disintegrate when the belt skipped. They hadn't changed the camshaft/crank seals like I paid for either. DIY or die.

You're missing the timing belt guide on the center pulley. Just FYI

It's really very simple. It's just new to him. They're quite easy to work on. This is no more complicated than any DOHC V6 or V8 and just adds two gears over any DOHC I4.

There is a possibility you could of converted the timing belt to a chain drive. The belts stretch out and loose timing around 80,000 miles and you have to replace the timing belt. The timing chain you don't change. Just tighten the slack adjuster to tighten the chain up. Just a thought of an improvement flaw in Subaru's earlier engines. The newer Subaru engines are chain drive for timing.

You are 100% wrong about this engine. Belts don't stretch, chains do. These belts are designed to be changed every 100,000 miles and usually the belt is the last thing to fail. The tensioner starts to leak and loses pressure first or the sealed bearing in one of the idlers fails. This usually doesn't happen until long after the change interval. I would take an EJ with a belt over a chain any day of the week. They are far easier to service and have way less parts to deal with.

@@salspec3381 Okay. I got schooled! Your right and I'm wrong. I'm always wrong, but I'm still learning about Subaru engines. My 2019 Subaru Impreza base model 2.0 L engine has a chain drive. I guess I thought chain drive was better because you don't have to change them like the timing belt ones. It now has over 106,000 miles on it. No issues so far. No plastic cover. It's was a good test to see if your were reading comment. Thank you!

I'm glad you're getting good service out of your car, but if the front of the engine had to come apart it is far more complex. I just saw one the other day and I would not want to touch it.

with that chineese tensioner you're gonna have a bad time. Those things regularly lose their damping, then flop around jumping timing.

Hello, and thanks for dooing the Subaru because I happened to run into a poor boys 2004 Forester X to get out of the rental cars and stop loosing so much money to rentals. BUTT: You had the cam shafts off and the pulleys off so can you please include a clarification of what you did to re-align the camshaft to valves to camshaft to the pulleys to positioning the crank before you are showing aligning the belt? Does that Subaru have a balancing shaft like some motots do? Thanks for the clarification of the 'cerakote' in the second viewing Cheers😁

No balance shaft in Subarus. The cam pullies are keyed to the camshafts. Otherwise, just turn the pullies until the marks line up. The divers side cams must be turned in a certain direction as they are activating valves when the marks are lined up.

Davin, they're sprockets, not pulleys. I've done 2 timing belts on Subarus and both times so hard to fit the belt going with the factory method. Also, both times they skipped a tooth after going for the first drive.
