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.

Wah
classic driver fault 😀
0:44, never knew boxer engines know actual boxing
Love how the vid had real Subaru commercials freakin ads bro I’m like my pockets aren’t that deep 😂😂😂

This third season makes me never want to buy a Subaru to zip around in
If you need a reliable modified Subaru. Buy two of them
8:24 Since the vlaves were still fine and sealing but no cams rotating, maybe its to do with extra vacuum and compression on the intake and exhaust stokes? Or the cam has a valve open a tiny bit so its the sound of air rushing through it? Hard to tell from my phone speaker though. (edit: hadn't watched farther, might just be light valve contact too lol)
Broooo wtf you put it in reverse full send?😂😂🤦♂️
So…did they ruin the engine by tearing it down?
This is a pretty great business model. Do everything you’d do with a project car from buying, modding, driving, breaking and fixing it and make a video about each and get over 1 million views each. Well done Donut
Yes Subaru engines are junk pretty much !
PTSDonut. That clip of the wreck kept looking like a rollover to me at first. I hate that crunch sound.
Wouldn't you get bubbles either way on the intake side? I mean the valve seats are actually designed to seal the combustion chamber but idk that they would expect someone to 'blow compressed air in from the back, just the shape of the valve in the seat looks like it would allow SOME air in from the back of the valve… Although I suppose it may be different on engines designed with forced induction in mind, idk… Just posing a theory…
These guys read my mind as I was watching the video… I kept thinking "Well what if" or "How do we check?" and then they instantly answered my question. They went over everything.
This was a great video! Thanks guys
My baby shit the bed 🙁 thank you Donut for providing comic relief in my time of need 😭
Had the same just happen to my 02 wrx, upgrading to some metal ones. Plastic timing gears was a bad idea from the factory
What went wrong? Y’all picked the WRX with the 2.0 that’s already maxed out without significant internal upgrades. You should have went with the STi and the 2.5, you wouldn’t have had these issues
I have a question. What if at that moment and you shift the gear to Neutral. Will the timing belt crack like the video?
awd is the best if you know how to drive it. but if you don’t know what you’re doing it can give you dangerous confidence, and you will oversteer try to correct it correct it too much and end up in the ditch.
I love Jobe and Justin vids
what about the other 2 cylinders?
muppets the lot of you
Hy.. how are the other two pistons..? Just asking. I thought you guys went through one half of the engine.. if I'm wrong sorry for my mistake..
You guys should do the Cheap vs Expensive with integras
Cobalt ss hi low series soon? Keep it up. Love this videos!
In other words before you guys destroyed it. You could have just thrown a $20 valve in, lapped it. and put it back together.
I mean I can basically relate to this (without the crash part, sorry james), I was driving on the highway on my way home from a night of very legal activities in Mexico Canada lol, I was driving at about 110km/h or roughly 70 mph when suddenly this heartwrenching noise appears of something smacking something, I hit the clutch and the car shuts off. I try and coast as close to the city as I can in neutral, I pull over and check the engine bay, everything looks ok. I get my dad to come with some ratchet straps in his truck (im in a fully built acura integra with a full jdm itr swap) tows me back home to my garage, then I start to try to figure out what went wrong, and instantly tears start pouring from my eyes, I was 17 years old and I started my project car before I was even old enough to get my drivers license, 15 years old. My dream car was perfect. And I saw the timing belt missing ( I had an exposed camshaft due to stage 2 Cams). I didn't even bother ripping it apart, I knew the motor was full contact, my pistons and valves, R.I.P Edit: Oh and the car had super short gears, so cruising at 68 mph was at 3.8k rpm
The ad before this was for Subaru
You should always relive your mistakes, it prevents you from repeating them. Why do you think world history seems to be circular in nature… enough generations go by that those in power haven't lived through the mistakes of the previous generation and start making the same mistakes because they never lived through them. Own your mistakes and learn. Help others not make the mistakes you made.
Adams reaction to the sound of the engine while he's turning it over is gold 😂
I'm really glad this happened because I learned so much from this. It may be expensive but you got to teach about it AND make money off of some of the content so it's not like its not a win win.
The problem is that it's a Subaru
6:55 is why i have an easy out jammed in my cam bolt! those things are insanely tight!
The last time it was turned over it was putting the boxer and boxer engine by sound
If you take the valve covers off there's a place to put a wrench on the cams…Just forget Subaru's exist, you've done more than enough damage. Turn the bolt not the cam you cavemen.
James breaks everything
I love hiLow but please do an American car, maybe a crown Victoria. Sleeper?😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
