I know what you mean about the intake, why are they so dirty? I think mine had 220kms on it or so and likely never had a new PCV so my guess was it was just purging oil into the intake at high revs? the injectors are an easy one to tick off, send to Mr Injector,
he has a three day turnaround and sends you a sheet on what they were and what they are now and is like 22 bucks per and they come back looking brand new. Worth it IMHO.
Just so you budget accordingly the short block was just over 3k and seems to be NLA in canada so likely soon also in the US.?

Thanks for the input and suggestions! ?I did not split the case. I found it pretty easy to get it down to the short block, so if I ever need to replace it I¡¯ll order a short block from Subaru for about $2K I think, then put it all back together. I tested
the cam and crank sensors and they passed. ?I replaced the temp, oil, and knock sensors with OEM. ?Basic machining of the heads and installed with new head bolts (OEM) and MLS head gaskets. ?(Finding the correct torque specs was a challenge as they seem to
keep changing). I didn¡¯t clean the fuel injectors and I might live to regret that decision. ?I cleaned the bejesus out of the intake manifold and throttle body and thoroughly cleaned all components related. ?Replaced those short pieces of fuel injection line
with new stuff. ?
