Your 1st pic is of the older style PCV where the PCV is screwed into the intake manifold,
The 2nd pic is of a 2003ish+ style PCV where the PCV is screwed into the block.
The PCV vents can be pulled from the block but it's not necessarily easy, they are pressed in.
I have swapped these before. I was thinking of making a jig to pull them out but never did.
I am surprised you would have had to change oil pump, and pan. That's odd to me.
What is a good, safe way to get those vents pulled?
For the other people commenting about the new engine being a turbo, it was not a turbo engine. It came as a complete engine from the intake to the oil pan, no turbo on it. It had everything on it, including alternator, A/C compressor, power steering pump, etc. It was a complete NA engine. It has completely different intake, the wiring is different on the intake.

We have a 2005 outback with a 2.5l. We bought it with a bad engine and subsequently ordered a used engine. The replacement engine is definitely a 2.5, and it's for a 2005 Subaru, but not sure which model it came out of. We had to swap the oil pump, oil pan splash shroud, and oil pan. The intake has to be swapped as well. My problem is that there are 2 different size vacuum ports on the top of the block, towards the rear passenger side of the engine. The new engine has a 1 inch pressed in (I assume) hose connector. The old engine had a smaller, possibly 3/8-1/2 inch threaded in hose connector. Is anyone aware of an adapter or a work around for this? Pictures are of the 2 different hose connectors.

They do. I found a video on YouTube that talks about chunks of steel foil in the oil pan of a Subaru. It was a rod bearing. The people that sold us the car said it ran but was noisy. So now we know why.

Here's what came out with the oil. Really thin metal pieces. Thinner than a beer can and it can be picked up with a magnet.

The battery is dead, will it store the codes? We are going to put a new timing belt on it, drain the oil, check for metal shavings, put it back together, charge the battery and check for codes.

We purchased a 2005 Subaru Outback Automatic from a neighbor. We noticed it sitting parked for the last year or so. It's in great condition but the owner said it started running terrible, coming over the pass, so they drove it home and parked it. We got it for $400. All I have done is drag it home and pull the covers to check the timing belt. It is in terrible condition but the 3 marks on the camshaft pulleys and crankshaft pulley are all pointing at the 12 o'clock position. Is it possible the oil pump went out? I can still turn the engine, I did it to align the timing marks. Any recommendations on where to start? Put it back together and start it? New timing belt first? Thank you.
