Thanks... I guess I did not realize I had that major of a serpentine belt. That would be a bad thing to break.
The 3.6R has timing chains instead of a timing belt. Things can still go wrong at some point, but not for a long time.

You don't. No current Legacy/Outback engine does.

Do not confuse serpentine belt with toothed timing belt.

Thanks Guys.... This a little more accurate then?/quote]

 

Hi Ronin, .... sorry for any confusion, but I really only posted the first video clip because I thought the fact that it was a 3D print was pretty cool, I wasn't really worried about the accuracy :)

Hey Ronin, that's the timing belt....definitely bad news if it snaps since they are interference motors. But as other have said, the 6th Gen Legacy' has a timing chain rather than a belt.

Thanks for catching that. It's an important distinction.

 

So only the 6th gen Legacy 3.6r has a timing chain? And 2.5 have timing belt?

 

The time to research important questions like these is before you buy the vehicle.

I saw this when inquiring about service intervals since I was curious-

 

"Note all 2017 Forester, Outback, Legacy, Impreza, BRZ, Crosstrek, and WRX have a timing chain which doesn't need replacement"

Ronin, I came across this article which I found interesting and thought you might also.
