An idiot working on the motor. Hence the inability to clean sealant correctly, a basic thing for these motors. Subaru had unqualified idiots fixing our cars, thats why the failures.

I can tell you a shop that builds engines for subaru is going to do a fucking helluv a lot better job. Sadly the best bet is get it fixed at subaru and then just get a new car. I just hope mine doesn't blow up before I unloaded it. It basically just sits in the driveway now, I'm completely over it.

I'm still awaiting a 5,000 off a new subaru coupon to make up for my fucked resale and shitty sounding valvetrain and crappily aligned shifter. fu subaru.

The reason you get pushback is it's hard for other people to accept they have been bent over by subaru, or accept the potential for it to happen to them exists.

LOL I don't know of a single dealer who trained their express lane oil change techs to do this work.

This work, and any other more advanced work, are done by the master techs at the dealer. Not the oil change express lube guys. And it doesn't even make sense from the dealer's perspective.. why would you want to take a very experienced tech and put them on jobs lesser experienced techs are perfectly capable of doing?
