Should Special Ed get an STI or Legacy GT?
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

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
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.
Make / Models : Model/Build Years:
Subaru / Baja 2004
Subaru / Forester 2004
Subaru / Impreza 2004
MANUFACTURER: Subaru of America, Inc.

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.

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.
