Are the really that bad to repair? I'm not experienced with boxers but I do rebuild engines from time to time.
Sure, lack of oil to the bearings. A seeping cover won't lose oil fast enough to matter. I lost my motor with no seeping. Or leaking.

Those motors have a lot of parts. Tolerances are very tight. Shit Toyota technicians can't even do it right. That said, it's totally possible to do. But when you can get a motor for a few grand and have it pulled and installed in a day... I LS swapped mine instead of rebuilding
