2005 Subaru Forester Pt 6 - Installing water pump and timing belt

Check out Partsology online catalog here -- https://bit.ly/3adPqzj Before I adjust the valve I like to get the timing belt installed so I can rotate the engine over into the correct location easier. When installing the water pump make sure you use a metal gasket instead of the paper or fiber gaskets. Some belts have timing marks on the belt but if it doesn't just make sure all timing marks are at the 12 o'clock position. After installing all the components and belt pull the tensioner pin and rotate the crankshaft 2 full turns and line up the marks again. All marks should return to the 12 o'clock position. In the next Video we will adjust the valves and install the valve covers.
