Overall everything appeared to be in good condition but the guides were all worn out (even moreso on the passenger side).
Upper guide New "special" bolts again

The center guide was the one that looked the worst to me. It showed signs where the chain was "jumping" around. Notice the various angles it shows
Bolt it in with the new special bolts and measure the clearance |

Make sure to pet your helper and then pull the pins!
The old bolts The old parts Previously mentioned exhaust cam now with a correctly seated Basically you're now done. Bolt everything back together. I kept going with some other routine maintenance stuff. |

Driver side front is shown on the bottom left
Valve cover gaskets Some new bolts since I broke others. I can't believe how badly these stupid 10 mm bolts were stuck in there. New spark tubes. I deviated from OEM on this one but I'm perfectly fine with Denso |

I cleaned out the throttle body while the airbox was out. Ignore the typo on the can (it should say Subaru).
Front face final touch up and new bolts. It turns out I had all of them which was nice Notice the flange mating surface is nice and clean |

Since the sealant dries and it's a large piece I had my wife handing me the bolts as I put them on. There are only 3 sizes (plus one that has a washer - see the foreground). I just yelled "30"***8230;then tightened it up. Then I yelled "45"***8230;.and tightened it up. Repeat until all million bolts are in. They are torqued to a super low spec.
If you're curious how far your dipstick dips. I know I was Sealant applied. Don't forget the middle holes |

All bolted in
I bought a new crank bolt since I've had bad experiences in the past. I didn't want to chance it on this one and it was relatively cheap |

New crank pulley seal
I seriously doubt these straps were doing anything anymore New belt which I later had to take off. Turns out my tensioner had failed even though it was replaced 70k kms ago. |

And that's basically it. Fill it with coolant. Fill it with oil and start cranking the engine.
In this first video I pulled the fuel pump fuse and cranked it 3 times to build oil pressure and to lubricate the chain. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xl15Bz86moM" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> In this second video is the actual first of the car. 2 weekends worth of work and sweet success! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SRTZsPc60zU" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Notice in the video above that the valve tick is all but gone! I'm really happy I didn't re-shim them. Then I noticed that the accessory belt tensioner **** the bed. Notice it jiggling when the AC loads and unloads it. Dang it***8230;..this set me back a weekend since I had to wait for parts to come in (I wanted OEM). <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4fp9C_FvVfI" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XJiBa-YJdPg" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Oh well, what can ya do. Onto the brakes which were the actual problem! |

Before starting any dirty work we polished up the headlights since they were hazy. It turned out nice.
1000 grit (not the potatoes) 3000 grit Polishing paste Final coating Note the driver side IS NOT dirty. I actually just cleaned it in the picture. It's just the polishing difference |

I did the wheel bearing too since I didn't know if the heat boiled any grease away
New parts Disassemble struts Super sketchy All done |

I greased up the upper side since the spring was catching on the rubber
Bottom is seated in nicely |

Note I replaced the upper mount since my rubbers were rock hard. Here is a video of me just crunching them away. I suspect these were a part of my noise problem from the front of the car.

I am shocked the brake line came apart without stripping
Super easy to torque the struts without the caliper in the way |

Greased up the ball joint while I was in there
This side was good but the other side was ripped. Tie rods are cheap enough New wheel bearing Clean up and lube up the axle and hub side. These things like to rust together solid |
