Every 75,000 miles, as part of your other regularly scheduled maintenance, steps must be taken to offset the frictional inequities induced by gravity on the underside of the pistons. Although expensive and labor intensive, it is recommened by Subaru that the engine be dropped, rotated 180 degrees, and reinstalled. That's right, you need to have your boxer engine flipped over from time to time. Which reminds me - I need to flip my mattress... it's good practice for owning a BRZ/FR-S.

I was reading it until the last statement. Way too funny..
Does that mean you need to flip the intake and the exhaust pipes, and the top-mounted intercooler becomes bottom-mounted intercooler...
