Subaru Engine #3 Teardown
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 02. 2023
- As you know, we went through more than a few engines during HiLow. Our Subaru engines failed more numerous reasons, but engine number 3 failed for a very different reason than the others. Let’s figure out what happened.
Donut = We like cars, and we like making videos about cars. Hopefully our videos make you like cars too.

We call it a teardown, but let's face it. This is an autopsy
Auto-psy 😂
@@TRLC glad someone got my dad joke
@@Dystrackshun I actually got a bil jealus i didnt think of it myself :)
James guilty? 🧐
Post mortem 👍
"Not only did I wreck. I wrecked wrong" I feel that.
Good to hear him take responsibility for screwing up his crash.. lol
Every skater ever. That's the difference between pros and amateurs. The pros know how to crash properly.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ H
Dude, I got a legit hearty LOL out of that one. I was so proud of him.
You need to have a whole section where Justin durability tests tools with his super strength.
Yessss. Justin and Jerry would be a hilarious team. But my favorite team is jobe and Jerry. They've got some brother vs brother energy sometimes.
Whoever did the animations needs a huge bonus
Jeremiah really is the type of guy to go “mimimimimimi” after every snore.
😭😭😭😭💀
Real
realest thing ive heard all week
i thought my ex was the only person that did this lol
💀
Justin really has come into his own now, definitely much more comfortable
Yeah, he (understandably) seemed a little awkward at first, but I’m really digging his content lately. Works well with everyone.
His abnormal massive strength STRIKES AGAIN
I was thinking the same thing about Justin. He’s a great addition to the crew
@Jack Wrath no.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ I will soon
Every time James talks about this event you can see the pain in his eyes and it makes me feel so sad!
You can tell he's genuinely, even if only slightly, traumatized from the whole thing. I love that they were able to make some interesting content and get some laughs out of it at least. Sure it would have been neat to finish the series as planned, but we're getting more memorable entertainment out of his mishap.
@@richardmarks6455 I mean you can't blame him for being at least a bit traumatized cause that could have ended a lot worse- they were going 100mph and caught air time...
But thankfully everyone was ok, we got some fun content out of it, learned some things and the only casualty of that crash was the High Subaru.
@@edim108 exactly my point... can't imagine how bad it felt to crash that car, but it all ended up as great videos
The pain of every subaru fanboy when they find out the engines are junk
Justin became such an integral part of donut. Always an uplifting smile and chill attitude. Thanks you guys.
James: "This was embarrassing and I don't want to constantly relive the moment"
Donut Fans: "This is the content we crave"
Not really, James is cringe and doesn’t really add much to the hi low series.
@@forsakenace9577 Don't say that too loud or Pumphry is will bang your wife/sister/mother and post the video to your facebook.
And after he's done with her, he might come after you too.
@@forsakenace9577 lmaoooooooooooooooooooo 🫡
@@maskedpanda1664
Laugh all you want, it’s just sad people like you find him entertaining
thats the fun in it, the slight cringe hits my spots 🤣
i love the whole team.
some technical stuff, some serious mods, alot of fun, great editing.
Justin has really come into his own. He used to seem nervous, but he comes up as very comfortable on camera now. It really feels like he's one of the crew now.
my guy justin is fucking yoked
@@PullingVertigo bro could pull the Subaru motor out with his bare hands
Well when you know what you are talking about it comes natural my friend. They are awesome wish they would trian me.
I agree and Zach is a joke. Get him out of here.
@@andrewf8486 I disagree. The donut guys are really working to provide us with quality content. Negativity isn't welcome here.
Justin has definitely found himself in the newer videos. It's great to see his progression.
I feel like Zach could be a professor in college, and we could all sit in the class not bored for the whole session. 😂
Professor Zach😎🤌🏽
We need more of these two, they seem to work really well together
@Jack Wrath 🤡🤡🤡🤡
justin just totally vibes with everyone. he's great addition. and zack is rad, so how could it not be a great pairing?
These 2 literally make the best donut videos. Fun and informative. Great job guys !!
Yeah but the best pair is Jeremiah and Zack or Nolan and Justin
@@thunderbird4712 imo Nolan and James, Justin and Jobe and Jeremiah can be with anyone
I fucking love these episodes! These autopsy pieces where you examine an engine you destroyed in HiLow are so educational! Thanks for more of them!
So the lesson to be learned from this is throw your car into neutral the moment you know you're gonna spin. Especially auto transmissions.
@@TermlessHGW Automatic transmissions aren't as big of an issue thanks to the torque converter. You can have sudden changes in speed and the fluid will absorb most of energy. But with a manual, any sudden changes in speed or direction in the driveline is going straight to the engine through the clutch. That's why you need to engage the clutch pedal in a crash.
HEY BO CURSING DAMNIT
@@JackWrath3..I don't know if you'll ever see this, but the only thing you're better at isn't "your" content, it's being a loser 😘
@@Christopher_TG Nothing to do it for you on dry dual clutch autos though :DD
I just want to say I really appreciate what you guys do. this is stuff my buddies and I figured out over the years. I grew up in BFN and my dad was a mechanic and I picked a-lot of it up from him and used to show my friends who wanted to do car tuning stuff like this. I really love that anyone can now have the ability to learn about cars and racing on a budget. It makes me happy seeing the younger generations keep the motorhead mentality.
You also grew up in BFN (Between Fremont and Newaygo)?!
😂
@@NarwahlGaming more like bum funk nowhere 😂
Love these teardown/autopsy videos. I would happily watch an entire series of you guys getting junkyard engines and digging through their guts!

@Jack Wrath gatchalife? this is the wrong place to look for that audience man, you're far out left field, sorry.
@@gavinclark6891 wrong fking stadium altogether.
@Jack Wrath you are fucking tripping you post Gatcha life 💀
@@gavinclark6891 I reported him for spamming. You can too.
I love to see how Justin is becoming more and more comfortable and his personality is really showing. The Donut Crew is the best!!
Love to see Justin continue to get more comfortable on the channel. Great video, really enjoyed this one especially. Good work as always donut!
The upgraded oil pan point was a revelation. Thanks for that. Some of us were assuming that oil starvation was the common denominator, as you well know. Glad you're going through this; nothin isn't content.
Camshaft wear and cam journal wear still say oil starvation
Lets see if they actually upgraded the oil pick up. a killer b pan is pointless without it
all the subaru fanboys were punching air after hearing that
@@themiraimage I'm sure they bought the whole kit
@@JoshRoeloffs never know
“Accidentally going backwards” is what I’m gonna call all of my accidents from now on
P. S.: Justin that “Welcome To Donut” at 00:32 was the smoothest thing I’ve ever heard
@Jack Wrath then why do I have more subs than you
@Jack Wrath Who asked? nobody cares buddy
@Jack Wrath You suck at marketing your channel.
@@BubbleS1 You can report him for spamming
Excellent explanations of the various dissection efforts, and great energy between Zach and Justin. MOre of this type of vid please
This is actually awesome. So many people have no idea how to diagnose problems. Very educational and helpful. Good job donut dudes
A car channel doing car things. Love it.
@Jack Wrath my guy, you have no videos
This is the best episode of donut in months!!! More like this!!
Totally agree, was glued to my chair for this one.
I love how the whole this is: structured, shot, explained, the schematics / animations, close up shots, the thoroughness of the autopsy, just absolutely great.
This is a strong reason for me to return to videos from Donut and my willingness to somehow support them monetarily so they might create more stuff like this.
Maybe make a fun shirt out of it, with a drawing of that boxer engine.
Someone holding pieces of that broken timing gear with the text "well, there is your problem!"
Freaking LOVE this channel everyone is so cool and you always learn alot, round of applause for how hard everyone works to crank out as much stuff as yall do!
Thanks for doing this video, lots of questions around how these engines were built and this puts all the speculation on the oil pan/baffle issues to rest.
I’m sure everyone was so relieved when the boss crashed and none of them 🤣
Also glad y’all were able to salvage the blown budget with a whole lotta vids that wouldn’t of happened 🙏
@Jack Wrath Cool story, bro.
@@pounceblair677 Lol I didn't think of it like that, you're absolutely right. He accidentally employed people better in his field (i.e.racing) than him 😛
Btw- so you're aware it's *'have happened',* not _'of happened'_
@@JustTheWarning How do you know it was accidental?
@@JackWrath3..u viewbotting ur vids😭😭 delete ur channel bro
Daddy jobe and Justin doing more technical stuff together is great, we need more of this stuff
I love these videos. I learn so much. Keep em coming!
Wow... I have never seen a post incident engine tear down like this before, and learned a couple of tricks for diagnosing issues during a rebuild. Thanks guys!
It feels illegal to be here so early. 😮
Kind of in disbelief, tbh
I agree
@@blaximum I just wanted to say “1st” in a more fancy way.
Inoo
right. i literally just opened youtube
This was a really good episode, I love when you guys do tear downs and explainers
Great video. These kind of videos are why I watch Donut… I learned a lot.
Hey, Donut
Really loved these two together, they complement each other very well
Great job
the low-key oil pan callout 💀
Haha ikr..cant wait for their response
Love when you break something and dig into what happened, its cool learning what went wrong. Thanks for the great content!
Justin is more powerful than all the engines used in this high low season combined 💀
i am so grateful for you guys to experience this, figure out everything possible around it, and then provide how to avoid anything negative in the future. seriously the donut team is a god send in the car community and honestly should hold a higher stake in it's influence asap even though the influence is already pretty massive lmao
Salute to you mr. Zach i'm an automotive apprentice and i'm learning a lot everytime i watch all of your donut videos! Cheers to Donut!
Yesssssss
Donut media with the Engine biopsy . Love it . Really shows the engineering ability and overall learning experience of what all went wrong and what can be redeemed and learnt from it . Gotta be honest really "expensive" knowledge we learnt from the Subaru hi low season . Saying that , we NEED A NEW HI low SEASON
I find these videos so interesting and informative! Nice work Donut!
☝️☝️C0NGRATUIATl0N FAN, l HAVE GlFT 🎁 F0R Y0U!
This was a great video! Thanks guys
Crazy! I expected WAY worse inside there based on the sound. Too early to tell but it honestly looks like you probably could save the block at least, with a thorough tear down and crank check/rod bearings etc.
The damage of the instance itself isn’t bad, I’d actually be more worried about bearing damage from metal shavings.
With how damaged the cam was (even to the point of being seized), I feel like the rest of the engine may be shot.
@@joshjlmgproductions3313 it may be. But if it were my engine I’d probably say it’s at least worth tearing down to see what’s saveable. I expected a lot worse valve to piston contact. It would end up being half a rebuild but if the cylinder walls and the crank are okay (decent sized if imo but plausible) then I’d say that’s a huge dub
@@joshjlmgproductions3313 Nah any shaved material wouldn't have had enough time to circulate. This engine is very savable.
What I'm hearing is ENGINE REBUILD VIDEO!
these autopsy episodes rock - you learn so much
this show has made me wanting to get back into mechanic school. this show is so good and informative
ikr, I aint even a car guy and I love this channel. They make it informative, but also easy to understand for somebody like me, and keep it light-hearted and entertaining.
These deep dive videos are AMAZING!!! Please make more!
I actually enjoy these videos the most. Not only is it a teardown but you explain it the best.
This was a fantastic video. The content, the chemistry, all of it.
Love learning how engines work, and more importantly how they fail. Great chemistry between Zach and Justin.
Awesome videos guys. This one was especially good. I am able to learn so much from you guys. Thank you.
You guys assembled the best and most entertaining team! Amazing job, 🍩!
I really like these episodes with Zach and Justin. They are always entertaining and informative.
Thanks for the quality content y'all! keep it up :)
this was a very captivating watch, thanks for this video
I love how you can see Justin’s growth I remember when he first joined the channel, I’m glad he’s more comfy on camera :)
i love these tear downs so much
FYI, one of the most basic tenants of aggressive/spirited/track driving, is TWO FEET IN, and don't steer, during a crash. Push in the clutch, push the brakes at the same time, and hold the steering wheel steady.
Most wrecks are made much worse when the engine is still engaged to the wheels (extra forces the tires have to deal with, and as you see in this video, potential engine damage) brakes arent used to scrub speed as much as possible, and the driver wildly turns the steering wheel around to prevent the crash...which usually just Scandinavian flicks the car, flips it, spins it worse...etc.
Cobalt ss hi low series soon? Keep it up. Love this videos!
Zach and Justin are an awesome team! Let's see more of them. Informative and fun!
I appreciate yall doing this. I've seen videos saying yall don't know what yall doing. Keep up the great work. Number 1 car channel on CZcams
Thanks for this deepdive!!
The perfect teardown team! Zach and Justin
These engine teardowns are my favorite
I was wondering what the inside of that engine looked like! Very cool!
my ej22 phase 2 single cam "non interference" did the same thing driving at 30 miles per hour. still have the jb weld on the same spot too which is crazy. If furthering the teardown Id def look for wrist pin damage for sure or listen for any clunking with the heads off. I know that's a Subaru thing but ive never seen an engine besides a Detroit do that still run.
Good luck and best wishes looks like she a got a bad jolt from the reverse rotation.
Man I love your channel. So good and such varied content for us nerdy "want to knows".
Another well presented and produced episode by tradesmen who know their stuff. I really enjoy these videos and I hope they inspire others to become mechanics and mechanical tradesmen. Nice work lads.
This is the best kind of video from you guys! Super interesting stuff! That was one expensive crash. But it's a learning experience. I would have done the exact same thing if I was driving, only difference being that I'd be doing it at half the speed you guys are going lol 😂
@Jack Wrath cringe content bro. You couldn't pay me to sub to you.
@Jack Wrath why haven’t you been fucking banned yet
@Jack Wrath just keep spamming the same stupid comment for a channel nobody cares about
Addressing the haters in a fantastic way. Love yall keep up the work fellas!
I love this format. Learning lots.
Justin dancing in the dark during the valve autopsy was amazing. Thanks for being you, Justin!
The oil pan part was a shot at all the channels that hated on their build 😂
Really great video 👍 A lot of people will learn. Do some tuning tutorials next 😉
Engine breakdown videos are where it's at. Keep doing this!

So glad to see Zach back in the spotlight
Justin is an awesome addition to the team now he seems more confident 🔥😊
Such a great video from all that engine carnage. Can’t wait for the others!
This is the kind of content i love donut for!
Could we get an up to speed episode of ken block? As a tribute
I totally saw that broken allen happening. It's a miracle when you don't have to drill at least one cam sprocket bolt during teardown. ½" drill bit for those curious lol.
The bolt probably had thread lock on it maybe a little bit of heat would have done the trick before breaking the Allen key
@Canada East nah, they're overtorqued from the factory and they just get worse over time with heat cycling and corrosion. Ask any subaru engine builder.
@@pleiadesperformance1170 I’ve never worked on one but I’ll take your word
You need a 10mm hex impact socket made to JIS specs, it fits way tighter. I use this one: Sunex 26495 1/2-Inch Drive 10-mm Hex Impact Socket. You can find it on Amazon. Also a rounded bolt extractor on the outside of the bolt works as well. Use a big impact for all of these, you need strong impacts to break that nightmare loose. Credentials: work on lots of crusty New England subies.
@@koolstuff4koolkids896 same.....NH.
Thank you for sharing this awesome upload, it is so good ✌

Sick new format 🤙
The last Hi/Lo series is the gift that just keeps on giving.
Finally more technical stuff than this list video
9:22 I feel a lot better seeing you guys try this, it's the method I tried when trying to find how bad the valves were on my DR650. I figured it was just some hilbilly nonsense but now I see competent people do it, I feel better.
Great video. You guys opened up so far, wish you would have also opened the other side aswell
Thanks for doing this! It’s always great to see what went wrong!
You haven't had the time to watch it yet tho
You commented this 50 sec. after that video went online. But there is only the option for 2x playback.
Waking up to a Donut video! Better than a cup of coffee. Now to watch while my FA20 sits halfway built in my room
Please do more of this type video, where you dig into engines or any part of the car to be a teaching tool to us viewers. the game show and other things you have been trying have gotten very old. But whatever you do, keep doing it. You guys are great!!!
Very good video, this is the type of video that donut media should be producing, you guys are great at teaching
I really want to see what the other side looks like. If the belt got loose enough, that side still having both gears potentially moving should have really been unhappy. Also, i hate those plastic belt gears, I usually have to drill the bolt out with a 3/8 drill bit until the threads stretch and then they come right out and yes, i have the right tool
I was wondering why they only disassembled one side
You need a Japanese 10mm hex impact socket, I have this one: Sunex 26495 1/2-Inch Drive 10-mm Hex Impact Socket. It is like magic, made to JIS specs so it fits incredibly tightly. Also can use a rounded bolt extractor on the outside of the bolt. Credentials: work on lots of crusty New England subies.
I know it’s a longshot, but could that gear shattering caused the opposite side of the motor to go out of timing and there is where the loud knocking is coming from? Did you guys pull the other side and look? I mean yes it could be coming from that side but that was really loud and I just thought they’d be more damage.
Thanks for making this! Sharing this knowledge may have saved at least a couple of us from causing similar damage to our own engines.
☝️☝️C0NGRATUIATl0N FAN, l HAVE GlFT 🎁 F0R Y0U!!!!!!!
this was awesome to watch and see. you learn something new
subaru community took a hit with these episodes . hopefully this redeems a little bit of our reputation
Took a hit (if you want to call it that way) from the people that don't have a clue how Subarus work. The ones who know, know. But props for Donut to bring the whole "autopsy" up for non Subaru connoisseurs.
@@joralex yes, "proper" and "regular" maintenance of a subaru includes aftermarket parts to compensate for shortcomings in engine design. fantastic.
@@joralex Yes exactly. Thank you for speaking truth.
@@no1washerezz hey, are you the guy who was having a go at the BRZ / GR86 for being too expensive to mod (your argument being the masses won't mod them like that), while literally using hypothetical (made-up) track time gains (on a hypothetical made-up track) as a benchmark? You were also having a go at people modding cars in ways you don't like, which is basically how 'the masses' mod cars. Yeah, no one cares what you think.
Subaru punk community is a cult
My dad always told me “If you start to spin, put both feet in” so things like this don’t happen
Yep!
Justin is fast becoming my second-favorite Donut, after Nolan. Love you James! Thanks for this cool post mortem!!

This reminded me of a story i had with my then brother in law who owned a 60's land cruiser (bj40).
We tried to go up a very steep hill in 2nd gear (long), didn't make it and went down backwards. The engine kept running but was coffing and vibrating a lot.
I quickly got to the key and turned the engine off.
Toyota being Toyota, he restarted the engine and it didn't appear to have sustained any damage in the followibg months
