The sealant is an issue related to this recall not the headgasket repair IMO. The actual head gasket repair would not really be a cause of any extra sealant to be used beyond the valve spring recall.
As for the issue with the head, if that is not covered under normal warranty, not sure you can expect either Subaru or the dealer to fix it unless there is a sign that parts/process of the valve spring recall would have caused it to fail.

My main reasoning for adding the headgasket repair is because when resealing the heads, I am to believe they used the same sealant and this is why the second dealership questioned me if I've had my headgaskets done. In which the first dealership did service my headgaskets the same time they serviced my valve springs. The Headgasket job did come with a 1 year unlimited mile warranty.
Second, I did get the okay from Subaru of New England to repair the heads on my vehicle under TSB 02-151-14R when they personally came to look at my vehicle at the second dealership. If the second dealership did not perform this, may I still fight the stance that it should be repaired by the first dealership?
Also, what damage should I be aware of with oil contamination/starvation?
