And why is a blown subaru motor surprising anyone here?? Collectively on this forum there must be at least 25 cases of this, and some contribute more then other (sorry huff)

I wouldnt say they are Junk...(I mean they aint no Honda or toyota motor).... but they do have alot of things against them that doesnt help. I have built dozens of 2.5s and once you get those pistons out they usually hold up pretty well
^^^ actually i will edit my post and no be so PC...i think they are Junk Too!!!!

lol. Look at it like this, the way i see it.
Early 90's to like 97....you can find subaru's still rolling around with 300k+ on them. A lot of those engines from that era are still running, know why? There were in grandma's legacy wagon that she drove everyday lightly like a grandmom would. What changed in the late 90's till now? Subaru's engines are in "RS's" and "WRXs" and are driven by young adults who beat on them. It's like how everyone rags on DSM's for breaking. They've been beaten since day 1, they are going to need work eventually.

Damn you win! lol hahaha
haha I'm not worried about these issues, more along the lines of getting oil up top so I don't spin a bearing, not to mention my bearing clearances in general. Anything can happen and I don't want to ruin this motor. I can't afford another.

Anyhow, I know those 2.0 engines are little ****in' truckers. Theres a local WRX on his 3rd transmission running a green and it's been through an accident and more than one horrible tune and has survived just fine, 140,xxx on it last time I saw the car in October.
