I feel like I am right there with you, measuring every valve clearance, torquing every fastener, checking and double-checking each step before proceeding to the next.

I did notice a lot of Subaru's while driving though Colorado. I guess it makes sense to own one there with the extreme winters you all have sometimes. Nice work Chad.

It's amazing how many things in my life have solid valves, older honda accords, subarus, motorcycles. I always learned it was a 1960s thing but not necessarily so. The ninja zx6 is the hardest you have to pull the cams and measure the shims and replace them with the correct size to change your gap and then replace the cams and if you are wrong you get to do it all over again. And there isn't much room under the tank between the frame rails to work.

The dual overhead cam Subarus are just as you mentioned. Measure clearance, pull camshaft, measure shim, order new shim and pray it correct since they are about $15-20 each.

From around 3.58 to around 6.12 in the video you can easily compare the exhaust rollers on the #2 & #4 rocker arms,-- the #2 is shiny and clean and the #4 has that blue hue to it,-- I was just reviewing what i had been looking at and give it a timeframe when it was easy to view and compare the two rocker arm camshaft rollers,-- yep ,-- its turning blue,--- still might last for a while though,--

Is every time the engine/arrow is in those 4 points the compression TDC never exhaust?? Want to be sure I’m not netting valves on the exhaust TDC.

Would they tick while not under load if their to loose?

They will generally tick all the time if the valves are loose but the noise is more noticeable at idle. If you have noise only when cold it could be piston slap. The piston will expand slightly as it warms up and the noise will quiet down.

Can this service be done in car? If so. Approx cost? Thx
@ThePracticalMechanic
Жыл бұрын
Yes it can and normally is performed in vehicle. Because it’s labor intensive and the valve cover gaskets should be replaced this will likely cost $400-600. If it’s a dual overhead cam engine or turbo engine the price will go up a lot.

0:26 No, you don't. The left cover has a rubber plug peep hole for doing timing; furthermore, the timing marks aren't what you need to see., the arrows are. THAT is why the cover needs removed. It has nothing to do with timing marks.
@ThePracticalMechanic
Жыл бұрын
The arrows indicate top dead center. The mark I show are for setting up the timing belt. The timing belt is installed with all the pistons mid way through the travel so you don’t risk valve to piston contact.
