Will be quite costly as its an engine out jobby and costs will vary depending on garage. just remember you get what you pay for and try and find a subaru specialist who know there stuff

You'll struggle to get much done properly under c£4500 tbh. Any decent garage will want to do the bottom end too otherwise your HGs aren't likely to last long.

Holy moly 4.5k!!!
thats more than what the cars worth
isnt ut a risk buyingnone then as technically speaking, it could go within weeks of buying one.
can you tell if its okay just buy looking at the fluid by opening the radiator cap??

I personally would only get bearings done if the oil have been badly contaminated.
if you are handy with a spanner you could do head gaskets and cambelt kit for around £500-600(in parts etc)
A garage would probably charge around £1000 in labour etc(just a guess)

I was not sure if you have stripped the engine ? if it’s not broken don’t fix it , crank bearings if shells go it does often kills the crank and it’s new crank time , i had a rebuild and there was slight marks on the crank , so it was polished , so caught just in time so no new crank needed , the 2.5 does not always fail but is prone to it so if it’s running fine save your £ for something else or for a forged engine in the future , the reality is if head gaskets go always do the bottom end as it’s a false economy not to do it , the bottom end sounded fine on my car when hg went , but it was clearly on its way out
