I redline shifted one of those motors out to 230k miles...when I totaled it, it ran like new.

Wont post pics of my engine bays...they are dirty.


I heard they can handle a lot of 'spirited' driving. I'll have this car for the rest of my life...!

Mine(turbo 2.5L flat four) is currently hanging from an engine hoist with heads pulled. The turbo, intercooler, and various parts strewn about the trunk of the Legacy wagon......

Can't wait to get it back(Valve job & rings) and I believe it will come back cleaner.

Thanks! There's pollen all over it right now, but I try to keep it clean for 12 years/152K miles. It hasn't seen many dirt roads and pretty much no mud in the last year, so it has been staying pretty clean.

About once a year I soak it on some sort of orange/cirtus cleaner, hose it off real good, spray on rubber/vinyl protectant, then take it for a drive. Works like a charm for not doing an in depth, scrub every corner cleaning. There's dirt/oil "film" on the valve covers that would need to be scrubbed off, but not much other buildup.
