Well, turns out this problem is as bad as I feared. The Subaru technician listened to the noise and right away said it was bottom end. When he pulled off the oil pan and looked at it he said some of the rod bearing were shot and the crankshaft is scored real bad. So I guess it's time to start a rebuild.

Any one know where's the best place to find crankshaft and bearings and rings too while I'm at it?
