A subaru engine that grenades? I've never heard of this before, ever.

The entire concept of a subaru engine destroying it's bearings/ringlands or lifting it's head is an alien concept to me that I can't quite grasp. They have never had this in the entire history of the marque and surely this is just a one off occasion. I'm certain if you look up the storied history of the EJ257 you will find pages upon pages of documentation of all the stock and high power builds that have been successful on that legendary block for great periods of time.

As far as I'm concerned Subaru engines have always been held in the same regard as the 2jz or the old iron duke. Unkillable. Surely the manufacturer will step in and make the engines right without putting the owners under great deals of stress. I'm 100% certain that the dealers will just take care of these problems with no questions asked with zero money changing hands. After all, they have garnered that much of a solid reputation over decades of excellence. That is clearly why the owners have chosen this platform to race, as it is vastly superior to say, an ancient C5 Corvette with it's archaic unreliable pushrods, or the laughably overpriced S2000 with it's anemic 4 cylinder. Nevermind the elephant in the room the fanboy-hyped up Miata which has never even had a race series. No these are clearly the pick of the litter for cheap cars that you can race.
