My engine developed a bad knock so it's coming out. Don't know if it's getting repaired or replaced with another oem engine yet but my question is are there known issues that should be addressed while the engine is out of the car? I know older Subaru engines had issues with head gaskets and water pumps, is that still and issue with the FA20? Any other recommendations on how to take advantage of the engine being out of the car?

Thanks
