I don't like how they are flat and the piston is always dragging on the bottom of the cylinder. seems like it would cause more wear. I don't like how you have to perform 2 head jobs every 70,000 miles or so. I don't like the sound they make, and how they basically run like two 2cylinder engines in opposition. manly, I don't like the people whom drive Subaru. (in my area) they are so self riotous and pompous I could puke

Luckily for me, the only crazy thing in the maintenance book for the FR-S is the 60k spark plugs. Don't see anything about a head rebuild, although I knew it wasn't the most reliable engine type. haha.

The 86 doesn't sound like a "Subaru" since Subaru utilized an EL header. I actually want to replace it with an UEL header to get that boxer burble.

In my area, it seems like EVO owners are what you described. lol.
