Nate,dude you think you have no luck? Take a wild ass guess what kind of vehicles my shop services? Subaru's for only the last 26 years.i actually am a fully factory trained Subaru tech.and those 2.5 dual cam motors you speak of I have rebuilt i would guess close to 200. So I probably know a little about Subaru's . Best all wheel drive passenger car you can buy. Bar none. So if you want you can PM me and I will give you my number and we can discuss your problems with your car. Going to bed now,but will check back in morning. Seriously,get back to me and I can and will help you out as much as I can. Dan
