Good to know I'm not the only to run into this. I ended up just tightening them in a star-ish pattern. Tighten until it go hard to, then switch to another side until it was ready to torque down.

I wouldn't rule out them messing up the timing either the first time around.

You can remove bolts from the back for the timing cover to see the oil pump and inspect the passages. Never heard of someone replacing the oil pump after a blown motor with these though.

Yeah likely the TOB. I'm mid rebuild and mine had been making a noise. It was very "crunchy" spinning it once I had it out.

Break in oil, new short block

It's difficult to lay the sealant properly.

We should blame Subaru for opting to use gasket maker instead of regular gaskets.

The amount of gasket maker I'm scraping off is unreal. Like so much gasket. Ungodly amounts. I've probably spent ~4-8 hours scraping gasket off between the timing cover and the heads. My heads are in...
