Upper engine clean to resolve or help this issue ?
Carbon holding valves open ?
Opinions and anyone experienced this with above solution ?

this will not do anything for tappet noise in a Subaru they don't have lifters but bucket shims, if you have tappet/valve clearance issues in a Subaru its engine out to set the clearances
why do you think you have this issue?

Has a mechanic diagnosed it? How many km is your car? What's the servicing history like? It's not normal for surbru engines to get noisy tapets

Why are you on here asking our opinion if you have an expert who's told you what's wrong?

Obvious like everyone else does and asks others opinions and if they have had similar experiences

What has your mechanic advised u then ?
I pulled my engine out to do valve clearances cause they were tight while at it I did the belt and pulleys my pump was only 5 k old so let that slide! If you're planing to do this job I'd do the belt and water pump

Mechanic advised tappets?? How well do they know Subarus? I would recommend getting a 2nd and 3rd opinion.

GB couldn't have put it any simpler.
A stamp in a log book means SWEET FA, your “nosey” engine is great example of that.

Ok Matt maybe he meant lifters and if so would the solution work ?

2 cans of UEC and a stamp in the log book should fix it.
