You guys have asked for this video for a while so finally decided to throw it out there. How exactly do you remove a Subaru Engine? Well lemme show ya! This is pretty applicable to any Subaru. Yes some things will be different between all chassis but it should apply.
In this video I am using a 2006 Subaru WRX STi as the car we are removing the engine from. Older cars will typically have some things break as you go to remove items but don't sweat it to much, You can do it!

For 1st time folks. Mark hoses with painters tape, number them and write where they go in a notebook. That way on the way back to install them you dont miss a single one, mark them off the list and remove the tape (that way if you see tape, you missed it) Group bolts on zip lock bags and write where they go. Mark direction of parts that same way. Great video wish it was out 7 months ago when I pulled my engine out. 😂

Just an FYI for anyone doing this, don’t remove the pitch stop. The pitch stop isn’t holding the engine, it’s holding the transmission and has up and down movement so it will not brake. You will have no problem getting the engine out with it in and then you’re not leaving your transmission sitting on 2 shafts and 1 mount.

Two questions for you as I am prepping to replace a clutch in my 18' STI (never let you girl drive your STI when the last standard she drove was years ago and was a 90s civic....) any way. 1. do you have to remove the intake manifold to pull the engine, or will the engine come out with the intake still bolted on with all the appropriate connections and hoses removed? 2. I am assuming that with removing the turbo, down pipe, headers and intake etc... that I'll need to replace all the gaskets to these parts as well, correct? Thanks for the awesome video @Smeedia, always look forward to your new videos!

everyone i talk to say they hate working on subaru motors because they are the hardest motors to work on and that always baffles me, ive never come across a motor more easily worked on!, everything is up top or in the front to get access to. It can be pulled in less than an hour. I think the whole having two heads on opposite sides of the motor scares people.

Hey just hit 110k miles on my WRX and all maintenance was done at 100k miles including walnut blast and 18 sti transmission swap anyways lately I've been noticing a faint smell of gas from the interior of the car and oil seeping from the front right coil pack. Is this an indicator of my motor going out or spark plug is loose?

Sounds like a valve cover seal is bad or leaking

Doesn't look bad to get the engine out. if you got the right tools

Not too bad to pull, realalisticly with the tight tools only takes about an hour

I changed a clutch without knowing about that pin. Does the EJ55 in plain WRX have this? Thanks for sparing 2 minutes of the usual blithering that makes me avoid videos/ Anyways, good job!
