I have what is hopefully the last update to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , the dealer screwed up, what a surprise...
So after my call to Subaru Canada, a rep showed up a the dealer and they, according to the service person, we there on another unrelated reason and “put their heads together” and discovered that the machine shop they sent the valves/heads out to a machine shop and they groun d down the valves/ heads or something (a thing they normally don’t do ). So when the dealer went the put it all back together they didn’t check whether the valves / heads were machined down and that screwed up things in the cylinder causing the vibration that’s been happening all along .
All in all, the dealer has admitted it’s they’re fault and are fixing it at no charge to us. Now I just need to get an answer if there’s a warranty on any of this work they’re doing.

They were trying to get you to pay the $1k on the alternator to cover the work they were going to have to eat on the valve job. The guy rebuilding the engine should have known right away the valves were out of spec. Good luck on that engine as this service department sounds like a shitshow.

That all sounds sketchy as hell. I hope the repair goes better this time around.

Rule number one of engine rebuilds: Never, ever, EVER assume anything will be the same. Measure and reset everything.

You should seriously consider ditching that turkey once it’s all back together.
