I'd contact the Attorney General. They'll sometimes take on a case for free. Subaru and Toyota/Scion are going to seriously damage the reputation of the 86 if a bunch of owners start filing claims with the Better Business Bureau, taking cases to common pleas (costs Subaru big bucks paying lawyers >$100/hr), and lose revenue of potential buyers staying away from the brand because they can't trust warranty will be honored...
IMO, this should be a service bulletin and potential recall.

I would seriously look onto anything that CSG Mike posts with much skepticism. If you take a few steps back and try to see this "issue" in a broader perspective you see that 99% of posts on DI seal problems or "engine fails" and "engine blowing up" originate from his (and regal's) posts.
Though I do understand CSG Mike's almost sinister approach, at the end of the day, cases like his are negligible and you should not fret.
