I don't do this sort of stuff for a living, so bear that in mind...but when doing something of this sort where accuracy is important, I always use some guide pins to help align things before they 'land'. Takes all the drama out of it. Just some all-thread of the right pitch, or spare bolts with the heads cut off. Long enough so you can easily remove them once the part is in place and the proper fixing bolts can be fitted. It's a method I always use when splitting/mating an engine & gearbox too. Again, saves a load of drama and hassle as well as reducing the risk of damaging things.

An old retired mechanic, now in his 70's, taught me a trick for O-rings and seals. If you want them to stick so a surface like around that oil passage and are afraid they'll fall out on install, use either a bit of grease or a bit of Vaseline on the seal. Since those products are oil based they'll break down in the oil with no ill effects, and they'll allow the seal or O-ring to stick like they're glued in place until you get it put together.

With aluminum you might consider digging at things like those O-rings with toothpicks, and plastic hooks instead of steel O-ring picks. Also using plastic ice scrapers to scrape old sealant instead of metal tools. I just use one of those free (from Lowes or Home Depot) wood paint stirring sticks.

2006 2wd with 2.7l engine. Its had a small oil leak on the timing cover that started just after warranty ran out. Took it in for an estimate on what it cost to fix it. The dealer told me it would cost $2500 and they would need 3 days to fix it. Needless to say I didn't have them do it. That was years ago so I imagine it costs a .ot more. The thing about doing the job is the timing chain cover connects/seals at the bottom to the oil pan. And it seals at the top to tthe valve cover. You can't do the job correctly unless you reseal the oil pan to remove the oil pN you have to pull the engine out of the truck because a frame cross that run under the oil pan. You had an easy job on the car you worked on. 😊😊😊

I've often wondered why mechanics don't take pictures of the serpentine routing before they take the belt off. The first time I had a belt failure , the belt was still hanging on the stationary pulleys,s so no clue to how it was routed. A mechanic that was handy ( not just knowledgeable , but actually present as well ) had no clue either but knew there was another unit with the same engine and we copied that. I drew a picture of the routing in the owner's manual on the page that dealt with related repairs for the next time the belt failed, and in the next 700,000 klms, that happened twice.

I personally would put cardboard in front of the radiator to protect it, but I'm clumsy anyway 😂. Good job Rainman.

Ray, I'm not a mechanic. Hell, I'm not even much of a DIYer outside of oil changes and basic maintenance, but I love watching your videos. I've learned a ton and you've given me confidence enough to move beyond routine maintenance. I'll be replacing the oil cooler lines on my 20 year old Tahoe soon, and if I can muster up the courage to drop the front differential, I'll be replacing the oil pan gasket and pickup tube o-ring while I'm at it. Cheers, sir. Thanks for the content!

Subaru engine assembly plant has robotic arms that apply the sealant, so that every one has the same amount of sealant, so they do not leak during warranty period.

Ray obviously needs cyberpunk arms for RTV application. Never get tired holding em above you shoulders too! Think of the possibilities! Then holographic repair manuals in cyber eyes. Idk maybe Ray WOULD go for it just for the novelty and scifi.

I always put a little grease in the o-ring grooves. It helps hold the o-rings in place and lets things slide into place easier upon reassembly.

I have used those tips before (the tornado tips) and I have to say that the one you have is significantly smaller than the one I used. They are still dangerous like you said. But I can say that you are right and you have a effective area that you have to stay in. I used one that was 4500 psi and 5100 rpm (professional grade) and used it on diesel island concrete pads at a truck stop.

Subahoo engines haven't changed much since the 90's, used to do a lot of Subahoo engine repairs, mainly leaking valve covers and timing chains. Also got really good at swapping turbos on them.

The Right Stuff is the good stuff. The only time it ever failed on me was sealing an Austin Healy 3000 rear engine plate, and it only failed because the rear cover plate was shaped like a Pringle. It wasn't obvious to the naked eye.

I can't believe out of all these comments, nobody commented on the "tree sperm" line. That was classic!!! I about busted a gut laughing when I heard him say that!!! I told my wife about it, and she said, "You and I both know that the next time you have to remove tree debris from the windshield wiper cowl on OUR car, you're going to be calling it 'tree sperm'!!!" She's most likely right!!!!

Looked like a damn fine job to me, Ray. Well done. The gormless Subie techs who couldn't fix my evap issues on my Legacy GT, I dumped for an indie guy -- his schtick was turboing Subie engines to the limit. But he at least knew his way around Subies -- made things look like a cakewalk. Dealers are the service people to avoid in general, I think.

Best coolant funnel if you use the correct fittings for it to work correctly. I also like the vacuum tool to fill the radiator and block.
