Beware of the Subaru torque specs. It's quite well established that the FSM's are incorrect for a number of bolts. This leads to people striping the threads all the time. Double check Subaru specs with a table found on the net for the same size and pitch bolt. If they are vastly different then don't use the Subaru ones!

yep^ I knackered a water pump and a cam cap thread with the Subaru service manual torques.
