Don't forget to check the rear cam plug o-ring on the back of the passenger side head. It's a couple bucks and only 2 bolts. As stated on the valve covers, clean as well as you can before removing the cam plug. Keep as much dirt out of the engine as possible.
Keep in mind, that is the motor many of us put into our Outbacks when we are tired of dealing with the head gasket issues of the 2.5 DOHC. I have already done mine and couldn't be happier. Those things go just about forever, given proper maintenance.
