I have a '96 Liberty (Legacy) and have had major tappet noise. This is apparently the only Subaru with hydraulic lash adjusters. At first I replaced the offending adjuster then next day the new one was noisy. I got another one from the dealer then this one gave up. It doesn't seem to matter if you swap them around one will always lose pressure a couple of hours after manualy loading them with pressure and re-install. Hope one of you guys can help. The dealers don't know.
