- Quick and easy video on the steps for adjusting the valves on this engine. This can be done while the engine is inside the vehicle and does not require you to take the engine out and put on a stand like mine is. Questions/Comments/Concerns please leave below!

This video is gold. I’ll be following this video step by step this summer on my 07 outback. Thanks for making it so clear.
I’m assuming the clearance while engine is still in car makes it very difficult?
@@arcpulseh its just a pain to get in there with a 10mm and something to turn the adjust, especially the drive side. I ended up taking my washer fluid reservoir completely out and took my time with it
Super helpful, dude. Thanks so much. I hadn't a clue how to handle this.
Yooo brotha this video might've just saved my car, i am so hyped up rn to get to working on these valves!
This is the exact make, model, year, and color of my car that I'm working on.
Thanks for the video, i wish we could have seen you pull the motor, cant wait to see the install tho!
Oh trust me, the pull was not fun! 😂 I had 3 seized transmission bolts/nuts so I ended up just giving up trying to record that
Well done, informative. Thank you!
Thanks for the vid. I have to do this soon with the engine installed
Like I said its doable with the engine installed but definitely not easy, the drivers side on my car is what caused the biggest headache for me because of spacing
Very good video thank you.
Put a like if tou have to do it with the engine in place
thanks, very helpful!
Thank you!
Morgantown represent!
Do you know if this applies to an older ej18 sohc engine as well?? You’re literally the first person I’ve found that talks/explains about how to get the engine alined with top dead center so tHANK YOU for that!! Doing a rebuild on my ej18 for my ‘95 Impreza so just curious if you know if it’d apply to those engines as well or not
It is always wise to adjust any valves while the engine is dead cold. It is way more accurate with it cold and not warm at all.
Great video mate, I do have one question though, does it matter what cam gear pulley you use as reference to set the pistons to TDC, as both left and right have the arrows marked.
Thanks dood
I just needed to know the markings on the sprocket 😁
@2:22 says Intake 0.1mm and the same for Exhaust he says 0.15mm
These are the *minimum* values although they do go slightly larger when hot.
Try:
Intake 0.20mm +/- 0.02 mm
Exhaust 0.25mm +/- 0.02 mm
Intake is 0.20mm = 0.008” (inches)
Exhaust is 0.25mm = 0.010” (inches)
A Range is given, and Imho minimum values doesn’t leave enough room for error on an old engine. Maybe if you have just rebuilt the head, he means !?!
Otherwise the video is useful.
Thanks for the help, quick note the spec listed is in thousandths and millimeters .10 is in thousandths and is what the intake should be set to which is equal to .25 mm, it’s not a range
It specifcally says .10 - .25mm, that - is a range. 0.10 inches is not equal to .25mm, .01 is close but that's not what it says. Same for the exhaust, .15 inch is no where near close to .30mm. It would list inches if it meant to, like my Raptor 660 manual, which has a '-' but in parenthesis, has the imperial system measurements. It's also Japan, doubtful they care about imperial system there lol
Nope. Multiply inches * 25.4 to get mm
So 0.1” would be 2.54mm not 0.25mm
0.15” is 3.81mm nowhere near.
It’s a range as he says. See my other comment.
you owe me a dollar
Is it every time the arrows are in that spot the compression TDC? Or every other time(one is exhaust one is compression)
Its always compressive TDC when the arrows are in those spots, thats why its different cylinders at the different spots
I have a 2007 Forester and I am going to try to adjust the valves in the car. I think the biggest issue is getting to the valve covers.
Yeah, they're definitely a pain with the boxer engine design!
@@Hunters_Mechanics Thanks for your response! Your video is very helpful. I think I can adjust the valves with the engine in the car. It looks like a lot of stuff has to come off in order to get to the valve and timing covers. I used to adjust my own valves on my air cooled Volkswagens; very easy! Thanks again!
So to adjust
CYL 1 arrow pointing up
CYL 2 arrow pointing down
CYL 3 arrow pointing to the right
CYL 4 arrow pointing to the left
Is this correct ?

Can you adjust the valves with the head removed?
Yes, just make sure that whatever cylinder of valves you are doing has no tension from the cam, all the valves should be closed when you do them
Is it possible to do valve adjustment with the head off?
Yes, just make sure that whatever cylinder of valves you are doing has no tension from the cam, all the valves should be closed when you do them
@@Hunters_Mechanics thank you for a quick answer! working on this right now
wait this isnt minecraft
daddy?!? 😵🥵
You talking to fast
