autobob Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 i am working on a 2000 outback EL25 2.5L engine. I have removed the heads from the engine and I need to have the heads resurfaced. Before I can do this I need to remove the camshaft assembly from the head. My questions are as follows: can I remove the camshaft assembly as one complete unit? Do I need to remove the 8 stars bolts and the 8 allen wrench bolts that hold the two assemblies together? Is there a pattern for unbolting and what is the torque for reassembly? Any RTV required on reassembly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I don't think you need sealant anywhere on reassembly except the half-moons and the oil pump. No sealant on any of the gaskets. Yes the headbolts are to be loosened in a sequence, but I don't know the sequence. It's already been mentioned on here before, have you searched for any detailed head gasket information - there are some great resources online too - one by "Skip" i believe even?
