I have seen 2.5 fail 20k after a poor head job. I have 2003 Subaru 1st failure 44k repaired by dealer, 2nd failure at 77k, Then they recommended new heads and six star gaskets. Machine the block. I would guess they spent at least 2X the time on 2nd rebuild. It is funny after there is no warrenty they are all experts how to update the engine!
