Alrighty well it looks like ya'll want to see this motor rebuilt! So be it! 😁
Ayyye 👍👍
Woohoo man I love your stuff keep it up. You are the one who inspired me of starting to study to become a mecanician
Why cant you use the block...its 1 piston???? And its barely damaged
The block has a crack in it. I'm most likely going to reuse the piston.
@@_Gingium_ the piston is barely damaged, it's true, but I would recommend buying a new one since it would reduce the risk of damaging more of the block or the piston and ensure everything works properly, it's a lot of money, true. But for quality, money is needed.
Comment section:
50%- that piston is fine
50%- don't use a torque wrench as a breaker bar
Both of which are wrong!
Actually you could def fix the piston, but it certainly wouldn't be a perfectly matched set anymore without modifying all of them.
That piston is fine. Inspect the cylinder, if it has a scratch where that dent in the piston would have been, just gently run a file over the nick to knock off the high spots. A lot of people has looked forward to this engine rebuild, please don't go back to stock.
Also need to have to rod checked to see if is bent at all, but that dent is tiny.
Halictus yas
If he goes back to stock that’s a downgrade
I've used worse pistons in shitboxes and run them 100k miles plus
Don't use your torqe wrench as a breaker bar. Premature wear it and it's torqe values will be off quickly.
Skulldriver101 you learn that from chrisfix
I'm pretty sure that's just a longer ratchet. Not a torque bar, I may be wrong but I'm fairly sure
@@l3litz582 at 10:37 you can see the scale for the torque setting on the handle
i was about t say same thing im suprised hes gonna under torque all his shit if he also uses that thing to re tighten it also another one is to always set it back at 0 after use
@@trashcarfj45 no I learned that because I'm literally a mechanic.
Only OG’s remember “Built or Bought”
Hell yeah bro
yesss
Ooooh yeah
Oh yeah
Yep
That piston is fine. I've had way worse go into a backup motor for my racecar and it held up with not a single issue. That tiny dent Is nothing
Joey Silas apparently a dent will fry his chances of making boost with this motor 😂
That piston is fine. Rebuild that engine. Don't get a stock one
Im not gonna lie like 90% of the reason i was excited for this build was because i was gonna see you rebuild that ej205 and build it. It may be cheaper and more reliable but comeon we would all love to see you make that motor work again and make some good power numbers.
Just so you're aware, on japanese equipment, theyre likely not phillips screws but instead are JIS. Get yourself a good set of JIS screwdrivers. Philips screwdrivers look similar but are way more likely to strip out. AVE did a video about the difference if you want to check it out.
Also that piston is fine. Just file the peaks off the nick and run it. Wont cause any harm. Ring lands are fine and it's not cracked.
JIS screwdrivers are bae. The one that comes with the Subaru toolkit is a life saver. I hear Vessel Impacta are the best though.
You're also supposed to use an impact driver on the rear cover, and the back of the oil pump if disassembling.
Update log 9-6-19
Wrx
-nerfed the engine
-bug found timing for exhaust cam
-another bug found one piston had glitch in the coding
Other
-added $2 bill
I appreciate the log good sir
When VR update?
Oskier Gazowanykoń next year
Thank you, kind sir
@@ickedude6759 Blessings of stendarr upon thee!
Dude that piston is good... built that motor it will be fine
Piston is not even dammaged. just put it back together it will hurt nothing in the engine.
This is categorically wrong. Any nick or ding to an aluminum piston significantly weakens it. With natural piston slap in an engine, even the smallest blemish can cause it to break apart inside the block. It also doesn't help that these particular engines are interference engines and the raised part of the gouge can cause it to hit the valve when it reaches TDC, which was part of the noise you were hearing when he started it up in the last video.
Tom S r/wooosh
@@kylesantell4603 You may think it was a joke, but there is about half a dozen other idiots here claiming he can reuse that piston in an aftermarket application.
Tom S yeah after scrolling i saw all the people claiming he could reuse it. i’m pretty sure he was joking though
Check ring land if not bent the piston is good.
Ey brother! If those wrapped headers are oil soaked then remove the wrap, it will cause one hell of a fireball when you get it all up and running 👍
a "stock" oem EJ "working without any flaws"? am I the only one seeing a flaw in this concept.....
did you actually owned an EJ? if not, I see a flaw in your comment
@@erickembler3526 you don't need to try base jumping to know that there are risks involved
Yeah well i wont recommend base jumping if you are an idiot and you dont know how it works. The same thing with EJ engines. They can run forever if you dont beat the shit out of it and take care of it. Leave it stock ma be give it a little tune. And only time you need to pull the engine is to change the spark plugs. EJ engine got that bad reputation because of EJ25. (Im not saying you are an idiot btw just giving an example)
The EJ20 is incredibly reliable, especially when left stock. People love to buy into Subaru failure rumors though.
Erick Embler the only time you actually need to pull out the engine Is change clutch that’s its. Spark plugs are tight but I can do them easy
DO NOT USE A TORQUE WRENCH TO LOOSEN A BOLT.
Im pretty sure it's fine as longa as it does not click over but i would never do it myself because i have a breaker bar for that use 😂
@@PonaHD I'm sure that's fine but any school that teaches you how to be a mechanic says never to use a torque wrench to loosen 🤷♂️
@@cole_butter i know. They teach you that because it's a bad practise and idont condone using a torque wrench as a breaker bar even though it probably would not do harm to it.
Green Line Hooligan I was always told it would screw up the accuracy of it. And when my tools at work are snap on I get paranoid about screwing them up. Just my preference
It won't hurt anything. The mechanism doesn't actuate further after clicking.
10:25 making sure he un-torque the bolts at the right specs lol
Buying an imported motor may be more of a gamble.
Nah, Subaru makes excellent crate engines. Have installed several over the years as replacements to people who like to do aftermarket upgrades and have destroyed their engines.
At this point his rebuild days are seeming a little slim because money is tight 😂
idk man it might be better to just go ahead with this engine instead of getting an imported one, that piston doesn't look too bad 🤷🏻♂️ who knows tho
A bladed Angel video and a gingium video in the same day
That piston is complete OK put all this parts at the new block and you are done!!
Last year I commented on a vid on my bday and you made me so happy by wishing me a happy birthday
I feel like your one of the few youtubers that are real with their fans and I truly think you are underrated soooooo much.
Keep making amazing content brother❤️
Gingium was made to disassemble boxer engines look at how smooth he is doing everything
They're made to be rebuilt, to be fair.
Piston is good file it down and go! That was due to the timing being off.
did it knick a valve or something?
Looks fine to me to I would be more concerned with the valve that hit the piston, has to have a slight bend from that he should do a leak down test on the heads to see if they are sealing properly
I didn't think I'd be watching Minecraft vids from you in 2013 and watching car vids from you here in 2019. Subies are pretty simple to understand. They're a step up from the inline 4s while being easier than v6 and whatnot. Keep it up!
Every thought of bringing back an ep of the good ol build or bought series when you have a day or so where there is nothing to be done around the shop? Used to love those videos.
My best advice to all this for the rebuild. When you tear the bad engine apart it’s nice to have the new engine on standby for the parts to swap so it’s all still fresh in your mind
GINGIUM THE PISTON IS FINE! it's all good man, I've seen worse been put to hard use and they held up
your videos resonate with chill vibes and i can get behind it
Love your videos dude! Congrats on the sponsor
It’s funny how gingium said he has never done a motor rebuild yet is playing master mechanic
Those headbolts loosen way too easily. A tip for future head removal, loosen each bolt 20 degrees one one at a time, then 45 degrees and all the way out after that. This will prevent stripping of the head bolt or nut if you have arp's. And for the Phillips service port screws, use a steel Phillips drill bit and tap each screw with a hammer. This will also help again stripping on those. As far as removing wrist pins to take out the pistons, just push out the wrist pin half way out until it lets go of the connecting rod and then push it back into its orig position. At that point, rotate the crank while holding the connecting rod at the middle of the cylinder, it will push up on the wrist pin and pop the piston right out. $0.02
Loved the video Gingium!
Definitely getting the ridge wallet now. Been thinking about it but since I saw this, I’d love to buy it and support you!
That piston is perfectly fine. That little knick won’t hurt anything, as long as the cylinder wall is smooth, don’t worry about it.
I liked the music. Felt mellow. Can't wait to see progress on this
This is really going to be amazing and one of the most unique builds on all of youtube.
Ibe been here since the subie wagon, content never gets old
Sad to hear the piston was jacked, but hopefully this will work out better for you Caleb. Thanks for sharing and we'll see you in the next episode. Best wishes and Peace Out!
"That makes Gingium happy"
*straight face*
This was so satisfying to watch.
You should explain a bit more about the crack in the cases.
It's confusing to watch there ,we can't see whatever damage ,and you say that all is "toast".
The piston has nothing,it's not even a valve kiss : something fell on it and scratched the skirt coating.
Keep up the good work gingium
The rally Miata is going to be a BEAST once its all finished! Can't wait :P
I'm hoping this will be a lemons entry next year. Its just the kind abomination they love so much. Plus epic seat time.
Please use unequal headers if you finish it😁 so it would have that lovely rumble
These screws aren't Philips, they're JIS. Get the proper screwdriver and you won't run the risk of stripping them.
Marke came here to say this lol.
I worked for a small shop called vanaru. We did subbie swaps into vanagons. I did all lmk f the tear downs and cleaning, the reassembly. They are nice motors to work on.....outside of the car.
Hey I’ll say it just because I think you are a CZcamsr who reads his comments and likes to know what his fans want, we all definelty want the rebuild motor. The prison is fine and I would much rather see you put that beast back togeather and make some actual power down the line when you eventually want to
*GINGIUM:* _"By golly that is a significant amount of structural damage!"_
*JONTRON:* _"AM I A JOKE TO YOU!?"_
Idk if it helps you to not skip ads but your videos are the only ones I don’t skip the ads on Bc I can’t afford to donate on patreon
when you remove the awd chassis from the wrx the install rwd chassis from some other car and keep it as your daily
This dude used a torque wrench as a breaker bar .... oyyy... 🤦🏼♂️
Use what you have got, and you will not need what you have not.
NATSCHKE FAMILY ADVENTURES clearly you don’t know how a torque wrench works
hope you can find all the correct parts looks clean
I know it's supposed to be a rebuilt motor but it is so clean even tho is from a used car. Hope it makes all the process better
I notice the wrench motions in this are all being performed "the hard way". I, myself, have hit an age where i worry about how i am using and applying torque to my own tools within my hand. You pull towards yourself and pull with your wrists bent often. You'd be happy with the results of catching this habit and changing it. Pushing your tool with good leverage is life.
Man someday I want a 1998-2000 Subaru 2.5 RS and turn it into a pseudo WRX because damn does the GC8 body look good
I just want to see you giving some love to the bug eye and making it a nice track car cause molly is way to pretty to race
All it needed was a valve inspection and MAYBE 1 new piston where it hit the mistimed valve. Crazy to replace that.
phil swift was probably using that engine in an unreleased flex tape commercial
When you finish swapping subaru enigine in miata then try puting miata engine in subaru..imagine that..😂..keep up the good work..
Emir Redzic haha, he gets Molly’s new engine, takes out the old and swaps it into the WRX, I like that.
You need to send the pistons with the block to the machine shop anyway, just get them to clean up that chipped piston for you while they bore and hone the new block.
DON'T FORGET TO WASH THE BLOCK PROPERLY AFTER IT'S BEEN MACHINED, otherwise it won't last very long at all. Machine shops usually don't wash them for you.
Warm soapy water and a hard plastic bristle scrubbing brush to clean the bores and decks,
pressure wash the soap off and blast all the oil galleries clean,
blow all the water off and out with compressed air and quickly oil the cylinders before the surface rust starts.
After that you put some clean engine oil on a clean light coloured rag and rub the bores until the rag comes out as clean as it went in.
And the piston is perfectly fine. The rings seal not the piston. It’s just a little knick
Like the video because the gungeum is happy
If you go jdm do a lot of research on what needs to be changed over, JDM sensors are different than USDM sensors, basically you’ll have to put all your USDM stuff on a bare JDM longblock (you have to put USDM cam gears and the sensor too so you’ll have to redo the timing on the jdm motor anyway)
Your Amazing Gingium
Once you get the drivetrain on the Miata, don't let the Subie go to waste though...you should build her too.
LOL I USE THAT WALLET EVERYDAY AND IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE BUT TIME. BEST PURCHASE HANDS DOWN
Who remembers the days of calling theo a ricer
Theo?
@@amberionik someone will understand
@@blitz3607 i rmember when peopple were calling him ricer but i dont remember theo thing
@@amberionik blackpanthaa (his name is theo) used to get constantly messed with BC he riced cars when him ar12 and gingium used to all play together
@@blitz3607 oh you meant this theo
I like your new dodge neon!
At least you still have the entire drive train itself, it's a shame on the powertrain but, hey all is well when you can sell the parts and make a profit!!!!
A small Nick in that 1 piston isn't shit! Have everything inspected, and hike up your skirt and rebuild it! You got this.
Is it just me or did it look like he was tearing down Damien Monte’s Subi engine? 😂😂😂 Haggard for life!
Being a Subaru guru this was painful to watch. But you got it man
I think you should do some wrx style cosmetic stuff on the rally Miata after the swap to show little references and details to what the swap is from
The head studs aren't meant to be done up tight, some people even install them a few turns from the bottom of the threaded hole.
Your engine hoist was bleeding down during the engine stand install and caught my eye
You should install a wrench on the wall on the one side of the garage so you can pull cars in if you have to
You need only one piston, it is relatively cheap, that piston can be used again.
Sorry ridgewallet but im not getting a 100$ Wallet for my bank account with 17 bucks on it
Old skool engine removal? Noice.
Looking like Logic with those glasses on lol
loving ittt
Very good, although it looked like you were a little hasty with the cams, both removing them and reinstalling. But, if they're billet steel cams instead of normal cast ones, you'd probably be okay, unless the valve springs are crazy stiff.
...which Happened to me once 😭
Lit fam!
Just Pasha no
How about a 2.1 stroker setup. But really so many style builds and info to be found on subbie forums such as nasioc that i am sure you know . good luck on your build
Gingium, contact Atlanta Speed Company. We specialize in Subaru parts and engines. We can help you with the build.
Another engine, another granade!
yooooooooo we got the same glasses
Should keep the heads as spares
Would have love to see you build that motor
Might as well do the head gasket too
Upgrade ur oil pickup tube. Make sure u do that.
asmr approved
Nice men 👌🏻
Those wallets are cool but expensive AF :D
Dude that piston is fine
That piston is perfectly fine you can go ahead and build it with that engine just a rings kit. Machine it add some gaskets slap it together time it correctly unlike previous owner and you will be set. also the freshly rebuilt engine will have less problems then one from a importer that you don't know its history.
After having a turbocharged and supercharged miata. Which do you prefer? What is better in the realm of cost, power, and reliability?
I think it will be cooler building the subie for offroad rather than swap the miata :)
John Boucher but its already been done so much ya know. a awd miata will RIPPPP
I think every Subaru story I’ve ever heard was started by “the engine was blown”
😂😂😂😂
If a deal is too good to be true. It’s too good to be true
