It sucks, Monday it stormed near my house and I was driving down a flooded street when this subaru outback comes out of no where going at least 15 MPH causing a massive wake and wave to completely cover my car bringing water into my air intake, a LOT of water. well I had it towed home and I completely tore the engine down to try and fix it. I thought the starte might have just been bad but with the starter off I could turn the engine but then it would just stop at one certain point. I had it taken to the dealer. They said I have a "Major Engine Problem" and that I have a bad piston rod and the engine needs to be replaced :( So I am claiming it on my insurance and still awaiting it to be taken care of. Do you think that If i get a new engine the mileage will be set back to zero?

Damn that sucks. Get in contact with DopeGTS. The exact same thing happened to him and he had to get a new engine also.

mileage isn't going to be reset unless you get a new gauge cluster. I had a new engine put in my '90 4-Runner like 8 years ago, it read the same mileage, just keep all your records so you know how many miles your new engine has on it.
