Since the plastic cam gears gave way


He should replace the car with more horsepower higher displacement for more stress on the cam gears


So which shall it be?


BTW he is getting old

left driver side
bumper , fender , headlight , hood. probably more but it needs to be pulled apart for more detail. battery is ok. subframe is ok. headers were not damaged. radiator damage, unsure, however radiator bracket still intact and did not shift. timing belt failed and the engine is toast

there is a TSB on the timing belt tensioner bracket.

Hey Special Ed


Make / Models : Model/Build Years:

Subaru / Baja 2004

Subaru / Forester 2004

Subaru / Impreza 2004

MANUFACTURER: Subaru of America, Inc.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 04V473000 Recall Date : SEP 27, 2004

COMPONENT: Engine and Engine Cooling

Potential Number Of Units Affected : 26
SUMMARY:
On certain passenger and sport utility vehicles, the cover bolts for the engine oil control valve may not be sufficiently tightened, allowing oil to leak from around the cover gasket.

CONSEQUENCE:
If leaking oil contacts components operating at high temperatures, a fire could result in the engine compartment.

REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect and retighten the oil-flow control valve cover bolts. The recall began on October 8, 2004. Owners should contact Subaru at 1-800-782-2783.

NOTES:
Subaru Recall NO. WWU-05. Customers can also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).


Where did the people who installed your motor get it from and was it a complete replacement or was it a rebuild?

Also it sounds like your original motor suffered from the same problem.

Clutch - Clutch Appears To Be Slipping
Notes

SOURCE: Subaru Tech Tips

TITLE: Clutch Appears to Be Slipping

APPLIES TO: Impreza WRX

SERVICE TIP:

If you encounter an Impreza WRX with a customer concern that the vehicle's clutch slips under hard acceleration but drives normally under light acceleration, it might not be the clutch that's the problem. Before you yank the transmission to get to the clutch, put the car on the lift. Start the engine and put it in gear. Release the clutch and see if all four wheels are turning. If they are not, inspect the one that is not turning. The Technical Support Line has received a couple of calls with the above concern and in both cases the retaining clip on the inner end of the rear axle shaft has come off. This allows the axle shaft to move outward slightly to disengage from the side gear of the rear differential but, the wheel bearing retainer assembly will not allow the axle to come out completely. Since these vehicles have a limited slip rear differential, there is enough drag on the axle to move the car under light acceleration but not under heavy acceleration.

The repair is simple. Just push the axle inward and it should reengage the retaining clip. If this procedure does not work, then you will need to remove the rear differential cover to re-install the clip and/or examine the axle. If the vehicle is an Impreza WRX STi, you might find that the vehicle won't move unless the DCCD is in the 'Manual' mode. In this case the cause may be a failed rear axle shaft or joint assembly.
