Well to begin with, the engine will have to come out as the HG go on Dry. If you put RTV on they are junk and you may have caused oil system problems if the RTV got into the oil passages. I'd swap to a good 2.2 and be done with it. The last pic, the two brackets, one is for the Alternator bolt and the other hold the O2 sensor wire and goes on the lower passenger side stud.

I've seen the results of a few that have let loose. I can get bad real fast. Better safe than sorry. It's going to cost less to fix it now than to wait.

Picked up a 99 Impreza Sedan. I could rotate the crank but the cams did not turn. Got it home, pulled the cover and teeth on the crank gear portion of the belt are all sheared off. Toothed Idler Frozen solid. New T-Belt and pulleys and it fired up. No valve tick that I can detect. In pretty sad shape, needs TLC but it will be a good Subaru again! NAPA belt, first time I have ever seen teeth sheared off a belt.

A few years ago I had picked up a 2.2 from a fellow. I pressure washed it and then it sat for a month. I had the same issue, the crank was hitting something. I use the borescope at work and looked in the cylinders. Rust had built up on the wall stopping the piston. I soaked it in trans fluid for a few days and then slowly worked it back and forth until it rotated freely. Never had an issue with the engine after that. Good luck.

Anything is possible with enough $$$$. Comes down to how much you want to send and the reliability of the engine once it's built. Read the Franken Motor thread. -
Call Mike at 970 217 7551 - for $1500 or so he will rebuild it. You can also Call Shawn at Retroroo 720-440-1662, also a rebuilder. Or CCR, sorry I don't have there phone, also in Denver.

What CEL code are you getting? Cutting wires is never a good idea! Most engine sensors are very low voltage and any corrosion or poor connections can set a code. When the engine detects Knocks, it retards the timing to prevent knocks and thus the loss of performance. 5-30 oil is recommended for most Subaru's. Since this started after the oil change, you might want to start there. New Oil and a Subaru filter are way less than you've spent in parts and time.
