I spoke with Element Tuning over the phone about building these engines. They are a lot more time consuming than that EJ series to build. Plus pulling the engine on a new car to replace the headgasket.. It had 29k miles on it. I shouldn't be having to do that to start with. If the bolts and torque specs on assembly are the reason for failure that's fine and I hope there's a solution figured out. I will admit my choice was not just based on that but that was my last thing on the list that made my get rid of it.
