Id be interested to know if there have been confirmed documented cases of a DI sticking open and completely filling a cylinder, resulting in hydrolock in other vehicles. Is open a grounded live circuit activated event? Can that even happen with the ignition swich off? The DI atomizes the pressurized fuel so how fast could it fill? Could the line pressure (up to say 1500 PSI) in the fuel system push out enough fuel? Also, for an injector to open electrically, does it not need to be powered the whole time? Could Techstream detect any artifact of this occurrence? Could a car with zero coolant in the engine just have bent a rod from heat after a while and still not show any other clear indication something was wrong before this incident?
The OP for sure has a fight on his hands. Good thing there are lots of salvaged twins, perhaps if there is no remedy here, think about locating a capable Subaru independant shop and a motor. People here will find you a motor, I bet. This will be a 5-6K hit but if you keep the car a year or two longer than you might have it will even out in the end. Hopefully you have access to the funds, credit or otherwise.
