I'm feel confident, going to take my time with it. My friend that is going to help has experience with engine repair not Subaru motors but his knowledge will be useful. I also have a background in aerospace manufacturing so I understand the importance of fitment and tolerances and have access to all the tools needed. My biggest worry about this whole project is the RTV on everything. I've been reading the recall instructions up and down and researching before getting into it. Is it safe to say if I follow the RTV instructions perfectly I'll be ok, Or should I error on the side of less is more?
