Could have been the high pressure fuel pump causing the jump.
I didn't check the lash before disassembly. I will recheck though once the cams/carrier is back in and torqued down. I did measure the lash when I originally put the engine in the car and it was a hair on the tighter side all around but, within specs. There have been zero idling issues so I kind of ruled that out.
Right now I've pretty much flushed every passageway out with brake clean (sans sprocket itself) and checked all rolling surfaces for any signs of scoring/marring caused by contaminants.
I've found a service bulletin for Subaru's AVCS related DTC's [MC-10163017-9999.] Soon as I get some more three bond I'll button her back up and start following it. I probably should have started with that but, I somewhat hoped Subaru would have already went though them... I'm doubting it now though.

1. Check the DTC, FFD
2. Check the oil condition, change oil.
3. Replace OCV, Clear SSM, Perform Drive Cycle(s)
4. Check Harness. OCV/CamAngle/CrankAngle for pin damage and resistances to the ECU.
5. Clear SSM, Drive Cycle, Check that the AVCS ≧ 1000 and is similar value to the opposite banks readings.
6. Verify Oil Pressure isn't low.
7. Check Oil Passages in chain cover.
8. Check Camshaft condition. Replace Cam and Carrier is damage is found.
9. Check the oil line between the oil pump and the cam
sprocket. Replace the oil filter on the cam carrier.
10. Check oil pickup tube strainer for debris.
11. Repeat Step #5 and then Replace ECU.

So right now I think I need to finish cleaning the cam carrier/sprocket passage, check the pickup tube, disassemble and clean the front cover and get the engine back in the car ASAP before checking the wiring harness and doing the drive cycle checks.
