And yes engines that were not worked on HAVE been blowing up for the very same reason going right back to 2013. It is well document on here way before the recall was ever even announced. In many of the factory fresh engines that blew they found sealant blocking passages so even the robots applying it couldn't do it right for a period of time. I am not saying that "gluing engines" together is bad overall just that this particular engine seems to be abnormally susceptible to even the slightest error. This is a result of some poor engineering not just careless or "dumb" techs.

Hey TCoat,
It seems you have pretty good advice in regards to our vehicles. I have been dealing with the dealership since February about my vehicle via the recall. Just 3 weeks ago they have taken fault because a Subaru Rep came and deemed it their fault after inspecting my car. He noted there was clogged oil passages due to old RTV in the oil pan and oil passages. The dealership repairing my vehicle now is only replacing the camshafts, intake and exhaust valves, oil and filter, and a rod bearing (not sure which or how many, they are not being transparent with me). Do you have think this work may seem sufficient, mind you i had driven nearly 400-500 miles after the recall and noticed the issues maybe 50miles in. They told me I was shit out of luck at the beginning and this was my only vehicle to get to work daily.
