...your "don't care where I park this beast" car...lol If a shop does the repair on one head, have them either retorque the other head, or replace the head bolts with new ones, and retorque it. At the very least consult with a local Subaru mechanic. He might suggest to replace the head gasket, install a remanufactured engine, or junk it. (Doubt he'll suggest the 3rd option unless it's eaten up with rust.)
