How Boxer Engines Work - Plus Their Pros and Cons
Video Overview & Insights
In this video I'll go over how the design of a flat boxer engine is different to the inline 4 cylinder engines and also the V shaped engines out in the market today. Also I'll go over my thoughts on what are the pros and cons of a boxer engine. Are there any mpg benefits or costs? Is maintenance a problem on these engines? What effect does a boxer engine have on handling? Is a boxer engine safer in case of an accident? and more.

I have a "Subaru impreza 1.5F" from 2009.Whenever I am driving in first gear (above 2000 RPM), and I press the clutch down slowly (after steping of the gas), I hear something Spinning really fast and the sound is somehow linked only to first gear only because when I do the same thing for all other gears it is ok. Can you suggest me some tests to do (or maybe you have heard that noise in other Subarus maybe and let me know if it is a normal sound in these models)?.

Flat engines work the same way as all other internal combustion engines - Intake, compression, power and exhaust strokes. However they have better balance.

Boxer engine in a car is unnecessary and just adds further complication

Suck squeeze bang blow. Wow
@Jon-hk6lnIs it safe to use sea foam cleaner in the engine?
@SSpeesGreat explanation.
@kevbeek1Congratulations. You just talked me out of buying a new Legacy Sport.
@8gomerpyle22What kind bower engine can work on gyplane
@dickeyjoe4237What kind bower engine can work on gyplane
@dickeyjoe4237My Honda GL1000 has I believe a boxer engine at it is great and dependable.
@Tigerfire75My 2014 Outback started shaking and it turns out that one of the spark plugs somehow broke. They managed to get it out but when they put in the new one it was loose. So now I’m told they might have to replace the head. It’s gonna cost a few G’s.
@maximiliano1761Why can't I find a video where the person isn't an annoying chwat trying to be a comedian 🥱🥱🥱
@brownahI would love to see a snowmobile manufacturer put a boxer engine with a turbo charger in a sled!!!
@bikesforlife16I also heard there´s more uneven piston wear on boxers, due to gravity.
@gse3862Boxer engines have inherent flaws, too; they are notorious for oil leaks, head gasket failures & oblong cylinder wear- due to the forces of gravity acting on the pistons...
@jetsetjoey1:00
You could also use this as a training video for hookers new to the business. 😂
Seriously though, good video!
But inline engines i think faster nowadays they got technologies than back then to make it go even faster like muscle car
@jamesdelk8926Only the race Volkswagen in fifties 60 70 were boxer made specially g
For that before street ones came in 80s and today street racer ones
There's a stand up boxer too called inline three piston ones could be original VW engine before it became recently and rotors cb boxer desils and turbo stock and all four engine performance cb performance
@jamesdelk8926You doing a lot of movement with your hands 👀👀
@rickyspenceryour explanation of boxer engine is not right
@ShakeelAhmed-zd3pqLove your videos! Greetings from Slovakia 😎
@adammarcinek7587Boxer vs. Flat engine. Boxer engine's connecting rods, each, have their own crank journal. Flat engines aka 180 degree V engines, run two rods, on one journal, like a 60 or 90 degree V engine.
@MrSubaru1387I laugh on the amount of humans that think Subaru created the boxer 🤦🤷🤣
@jadesmith6823Like all things that you can care for and get back X10 🙏🙌
@jadesmith6823I don't understand how a company that's been primarily making boxer engines for decades, still has notable issues with them? They've recalled so many just in the past few years alone. When it comes to engine R&D, boxer is mostly where they put their money into. Its their bread and butter and they still cant get away from these issues.
@Mo.Jo.Very informative! Thanks!!
@viewer-i5oMoney shot!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
@VolusiaevWhy do those boxer motors on
@jewllakeI want a date
@djanebybarbie2267Most well known boxer engines, Subaru or Porsche... 21 million VW bugs: :-(
@ziarideMr Subaru has an amazing video detailing the boxer engine and the reason for the head gasket failures. He even knows the problematic years.
Looking forward to your input!
I've been looking into possibly getting a BRZ/86, so if you include information about that engine's reliability in the next vid, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and love your content!
hey, guy are you related to Scotty Kilmer? there is a slight resemblance. just saying....
@ejmagraswhy only motorcycles get the V4 engine?
@ErickzyLove the thumbnail! Good to see you! ✌️

@Jaytriple1Cabron The old air cooled VW engine is also an opposed engine is that engine considered to be a boxer engine? Just asking.
@delinquentdesignGreat explanation. Great content
@JF-iu3xwSo what's it like to be in prison with Mike Tyson?
@FredTheLutinoCocatiel4:39 - No, not 2 camshaft sensors. Just one on the EJ25s, except for the ACVS versions, and the right bank sensor isn't use for timing, so doesn't really count. ;)
