2.2 swap. Runs for ever. -
Make sure the Hill Holder is fully released, if it has it. Dent in the trans pan from lifting? It only takes a little.

Yes KYB are good struts. Another person posted a like issue a month ago. Compare the old to new. Are they the same with no weight? If so the spring rate may be different. If you step on the front bumper, do you get normal compression?

Normal rebound when you jump on the bumper? If you jack it from the jack pad just aft of the oil pan, do the springs compress as normal?

Sounds like you still have air trapped in the system. Temp switch for the fans is up high on the crossover pipe on top of the engine. Is the temp gauge operating normally? Good Subaru, warms quickly to the same temp every time and stays there.

Dito on GD. He's moved on from Subaru to Military Trucks I believe.

2006 is as new as I'll go.

They all should be the same housing. Did you compare the old to new? I've replaced many and as long as the fan is clocked correctly all holes will line up.

Always a good idea to turn it through by hand, through all four TDC strokes. But as he said you are good. Glad you got it.

LOADPRO is a great tool to add to your multimeter.

Subaru parts. www.car-part.com may help you find one.

Yes to the above!

If it runs fine, do the seals valve cover, cam & crank, timing belt and oil pump reseal and call it a day. No need to rebuild. If it isn't broken don't fix it. IMHO. Great engines 300K+ miles and still going strong.
