I haven't done it but would probably also check youtube and do a google image search for more info.

 

Right side partial cover has 4 or 5. No need to remove anything. This only allows you to take a peek at the belt. For the complete cover removal about 12 bolts and you need to remove all belts, then harmonic balancer, which requires a special tool. About 45 bucks at Amazon.

That is the EJ25 engine with the plastic cover and timing belt.

This thread is about the FB25 engine with the alloy cover and camchain.

Here is a link to your service manual.

I made a mistake fb25, i am learning as i go. I seen the mark on top of the engine

Here is a link to your service manual. [redacted] And a pic of where all the bolts are. View attachment 559148

Thank you, we bought this car for 8g and have had more engine problems. Just trying to get it running

 

Oops, mine was a 2012, I thought be the same...over 30 bolts for this one!

 

It is a fb25 for sure

 

Yes the motor mount is in the way. You can take the front mount and bracket off completely and the engine is not going to tilt because the transmission mount is going to hold the engine stable in place.

 

Look up timing chain and chain cover in that FSM I gave you a link to.

 

I have to look at this page by page? It wont let me skip to a area. 6k pages. Like a search

 

i did figure out the manual . it has to be opened on a pc. cant skip to pages on a phone.

 

I found the part about the cover but i already have the mount removed. Still cant get 1 bolt out ,

 

The part that i cant get out of the way is called a cradle.

 

Take and post a pic

 

Here ya go.

 

You have the four bolts out of the mount bracket so what's keeping it on there? You may have to drop the exhaust manifold.

 

take

Thank you . This forum is the only support it seems.

 

ok I see videos on other subaru engines but not fb25, are they exactly the same as far as torque sequence,

 

Why would you NOT buy the manual if you are doing this? Hayes, Chilton etc.

 

32 bolt and alot of rtv gasket holding it on watch Mr Subaru vids on that on YouTube...
I replaced my chain tensioners diy with the engine in the car exhaust pipe, front engine mount has to come off you will need jack stands and be prepared to do alot of cleaning.. not for the novice tune up mech but if you have a basic knowledge and auto mechanics you can do it..
I went back with a DNJ tensioner kit fixed the problem now I have a oil burning issue so looks like JDM time of the Valvoline restore and protect don't loosen up oil ring
