love the P1's and 22b's tho
If its been rebuilt and maintained properly, it will last. Same as any engine.
Ive helped rebuilt plenty of them, none have failed other than a couple of dummies who think its ok to drive with no oil.

unless your connecting det to seized bearings which some people do though, thats besides the point.
As I said before, Until someone can prove why SOME engines seize bearings, I wouldnt buy a subaru....
Subaru held the endurance top speed record for a number of years, think it was a flat out run over 24hours or something.
