- In this video we will be diagnosing the mode of failure on my 2009 Subaru Outback with the 2.5L EJ. This engine seized tight while driving and now cylinder number 2 has a spark plug showing significant signs of physical damage. We are going to look at common failure points such as head gasket, timing belt, timing belt pulleys, and much more!

Commenting before watching... im gonna say the Subaru was so advanced it developed its own multi cylinder shutdown technology but hadnt worked all the kinks out yet 😂
Eric!!!!! He's alive. Thank you for letting him out of the dungeon to get some sun.
The snapped-off spark plug in the thumbnail made me immediately go full Eric O: well there's your problem, lady!
With that much damage you definitely have a valve bouncing around that cylinder. Once you get that engine out will be interesting to see what it was but thats my bet. Also I've watched videos on these flat 4 engines being assembled and its so weird. Would be kind fun taking one apart.
Haha. Absolutely bud. I think there is something rolling around cylinder 2. I am looking forward to dissecting this thing as I have never been that deep into a flat 4. I will definitely post my findings for the group to discuss haha.
Hey. Nice to see both of you guys on the channel!
Woohoo good to see the gang back together can't wait to see what video's you have this year.
“She’s more locked up than a frat present on spring break” 🤔😂🤣
Always along for the journey bud!
I appreciate that bud.
Hey Eric!!! Good to see you again man
Great to see Eric again!
Man that subie is about as crusty as Doug when he starts talkin politics
Yea we wanna see that video bros, we need to see the video of the motor swap
I wish you the best of luck
Good news is a subby motor is perhaps top ten on easiest to pull out.
If they can get the engine to rotate to remove the torque converter.
@@MarshaJ8800TU fair point..
Eric! He lives!!!
That engine is looking very crusty there guys. 😮
Teardown, let’s see the carnage!
Along for the ride
Doug where did you get that sweater
Did you do a lot of diagnostic jobs on cars? What scan tool do you use?
I would say turn it down and you will be able to find out basically what happened if it didn’t jump timing, you definitely hydra locked it other easiest way to find out pull the oil pan
Do it!!!
Who is this guy you keep calling Eric??😁😁
Well, I think you learned your lesson not to drive anything other than a Jeep.
That’s no good.. hopefully you can salvage the engine.. or find another 06 - 10 engine.. might find another vehicle with a bad transmission or all rotted out ..for cheap . I have a 05 limited outback and 2 foresters 09 , 10
And some folks think I'm lying. when I tell them neither the dealership nor an independent Subaru garage wanted to work on The Lovely Brides sons Subaru when we still lived in The Peoples Republic of Maryland. He did manage to get $600.00 out of that piece of crap from a scrap dealer.
U subaru haz a sad.
