Agreed... Subaru / Toyota really dropped the ball by expecting regular techs to rip apart an entire engine to replace valve springs and one-use items. It would have been better to have dedicated teams travel to different areas that specialize in this job and have them do it, or just send out completely new pre-built heads and just keep the short block. Now there are reports of seized engines after warranty work, requiring completely new engines.
With the amount of man hours required, plus cost for rental vehicle, the possibility of a completely new engine replacement afterwards, they should have just done a full engine swap in 2 days instead of this 2 week+ garbage.
When Honda's R18 were recalled for an engine block crack, they did the right thing and replace the entire engine instead of expecting techs to tear the entire engine apart, replace just the block, then reinstall the head + pistons + crank, etc. And I'm 100% sure Honda took a bigger hit with the amount of 06-09 Civic's on the road than Toyota/Subaru will with this.
