Loony Toon Unfortunately this has all the hallmarks of a crank failure. I don't recommend that you start it again until someone technically minded has listened to it and given an opinion. We can help of course but it does depend where you are in the country.
For advice offered freely with no obligation at all, call me and l'll talk you through the options. Does it still qualify for warranty at Subaru ? is probably a pertinent question.

Strangely enough Dave, I suggested that Tony call you today.
I had a listen to the car and it give a large knock at start up and then quites down at tickover.
It also seen to have dumped a lot of oil vapour out of the VTA dump valve.
Big end was my first through, but I was wondering if pistons are known to be week on these 01 cars?

You were the one who told us where to get the Red crinckle paint.
