No they had their master tech give it a basic look over, he confirmed its the motor just going off that. They told me I can take his advice and options that they gave me previously and not pay anything. Or I can pay for the fee and they can do a proper look over to find the exact problem. But either way I need either an engine swap or a rebuild.

Sorry to hear about your friends uncle. You can source engines for less than that. I've bought and sold them between 1500-2000. Labor at 2k is.. well maybe normal but seems high as it doesn't take even 10 hours to do the swap and that's at a $200 bill rate...

Not really, the 2015 harness plugs right in but the jackholes I bought the engine from cut the harness. I bought a conversion harness for the 2013 engine to use 2015 coilpacks from Subaru (they have a harness for 2013 cars and 2014 cars). That required me to move over two sensors from the bad 2013 engine to the 2015 engine.. IIRC it was water temp and oil temp but it's pretty obvious which need to be swapped when you have it in front of you. We've done the reverse swap as well (2013 engine into a 2015) and just plugged it in and went.
