The Subaru BRZ's FA-series boxer engines deliver engaging performance but share documented failure points with the Toyota GT86 platform. Conrod bearing failure dominates replacement enquiries, followed by valve spring recalls and direct injection carbon issues. Every rebuilt engine supplied through EngineMarket includes upgraded components addressing the...
Conrod Bearing Failure
Most affected vehicles
Subaru BRZ Base, Sport, ts, Blue Edition, Yellow Edition (2012-2020, FA20D/4U-GSE)
Failure mileage range
60,000-100,000 miles
Typical failure window
Root cause
Original wave washer design in oil pump can dislodge under high G-force or track use, causing oil starvation and spun bearings.
Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Preventative Oil Pump Upgrade | £1,200 - £1,800 | £800 - £1,200 | Replace wave washer with solid baffle, new oil pump components | Viable only if caught before bearing damage; preventative only |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt / Reconditioned Engine | £4,500 - £7,000 | £2,700 - £4,200 + fitting | Supply & fit complete rebuilt FA20 with upgraded bearings, bench-tested, warranty included | Long-term solution; 12-month unlimited warranty, addresses root cause |
Our recommendation
On a Subaru BRZ worth £8,000-£18,000, a full rebuilt engine often represents better value than preventative oil pump work if bearing knock is already present. We recommend rebuilt units with upgraded bearing specifications to prevent repeat failure.
