Someone close this thread. The MR 286 has moved and others have not. Enough is enough. Thanks for sharing your story MR 286.

It will die of it's own volition.

Again have to echo thanks to @Mr 286 for sharing his story, sorry for the shit you had to deal with and hope you find something else fun.

Fwiw, toyota put a complete motor in mine (heads, short block, even injector lines) and it's been running like a champ. I was warned by service rep about light weight crank pulley. New motor came with new pulley.

Well fellas, i believe i have had the most significant issues out of anyone. Currently on 5TH ENGINE. ALL WARRANTY COVERED! First engine: 15,000 miles, threw a rod complete catastrophic failure. A month and a half later, nearly whole engine rebuilt(only one head though) 300 miles later boom second engine bit the dust. Oil control valves malfunctioned starving my engine of oil. Another month later car back and 1,100 miles later boom. Both second and third engine had low idle problems/crickets. First engine had zero issues until the day it blew. Oil control valves seemed to be issue again and the head they didn't replace had major damage. Total rebuild for my 4th engine and car died first day i had it back. Lets just say i was fed up. Corporate was now all over my case. Every single piece of engine oil ever touched was replaced, subaru engine specialist tuned my current engine as perfectly as he could. Now running trd cold air(which i received for free) and corsa catback which I'm in love with. have had car for 2,000 miles and no issues. Car idles beautifully, runs perfect and has zero issues. But like others of you, had oil control valves replaced every time, control arms, DI injectors, the list goes on and on and on. Total cost incurred to dealership was $28,000 dollars lol. Toyota will be contacting me and thanking me for my patience and probably getting me trd body kit. Now have 18" enkeii raijins, blacked out tails and rocket bunny wing. Car is sexy and i missed having her all summer. Hope none of you have to go through what i went through. will have to picture all the paperwork sometime for fun.

Just a wild ass guess, but between which two engines did they finally replace the harness and Engine ECU?

between 4 & 5 right?
