Total Teardown: Subaru EJ253 SOHC 2.5L Core/Bad Engine. What Will We Find Inside?

Hi, My name is Eric and I own and run a niche market auto salvage business in the Saint Louis area called Importapart. Part of our model is selling parts from core or blown engines.
In this video, I completely dismantle a Subaru EJ253 from what I believe was a 2009-2010 Forester. Variants of this engine is found in just about every Subaru model from the early 2000's to the mid 2010's. I don't normally do a ton of Subaru parts but because of the uniqueness of their design a felt a Subaru engine video would be prudent. This particular engine had relatively low value in parts, but I had a lot of fun taking it apart regardless.

If you haven't seen my other teardowns, I've got them ALL in a playlist here:    • Blown Up Engine Tear Downs! A collect...  . I've torn down some interesting engines, LS7, Viper, Cummins, Coyote, and then some.

If you're a Subaru owner and are in need of parts, or complete turn key engines with a warranty, visit my friend Pete's place called PMP Auto Group, their site is here: https://www.pmpautogroup.com/Default.asp

If there's an engine you'd like to see torn down, I am ALWAYS open to suggestions, as long as its something I can get my hands on. If you need parts off of some of the other engines I've torn down, shoot me an email at [email protected]

Thanks for watching!
