Turns out cylinders tend to misfire when the fucking valves don’t seal because they’re bent. On the plus side there is a 99% chance I’m taking this car and shoving it up the dealers ass, but on the down side I’m out one damn fine 2007 STi and one nice shiny new but cursed 2017 FoRS. Waiting on the flat bed to come pick it up again, but this makes the third trip to the dealer to fix the head since 2/6/18. Round one, replace head gasket on the Ford issued TSB. Round 1.5, never mind, don’t come to pick it up the CEL came on when we test drove it. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , send the flat bed, the CEL came on before I made it back to work after picking it up. Round three, send the flat bed again, CEL came on a whole day and half after I picked it up.

It’s shitty but you may be stuck with the STI.

Wait, so they replaced the head. And then screwed up timing again and bent the valves again?

1. Dealer replaces head gasket per Ford TSB
1.5 They “fix” CEL that showed up during test drive before returning the car to me, but after calling me to pick it up.
2. Several days later I pick up car. They send a flat bed to pick it up a couple hours later because of rough idle, CEL and stalling happening after about 1/2 hour and 20ish miles of driving. They replace bent valves that happened because they didn’t put head back together properly.
3. I pick up car 22 days after original drop off, drive it for 1.5 days and rough idle comes back this morning. CEL comes on on way to work, so I get to work and call them for flat bed.

Sounds like you need to escalate to Ford to have them get you a brand new head assembly. And then go have a different dealer install it because it sounds like this dealer is just going to fuck it up again.
