2017 OEM block reinforcement

Anyone have any pics or solid info in this?

"Subaru’s shot peened the engine’s pistons and added ribs to the block’s rear wall to help it handle the new power"

From pub talk one guy said the 2017 uses a semi closed deck, another said it was reinforced elsewhere.

I'm just asking because I was looking at maybe boosting it a little.

But if it's a open deck that will mean a whole lot extra work for me to be happy doing it.

I did have a google and search, maybe my searching Kung Fu is weak, or I'm just old and senile.
