Sorry, but I don't believe that for one minute.
Mercedes-Benz has been producing buses with engines with
horizontal cylinders for who knows how long, and for the
overwhelming majority of cases, these engines would be able to
operate with basic maintenance for over 1,000,000 km under
strenuous conditions without any work done to the engine block
itself.
Staged and sequential turobhcarging concepts have been around
for decades as well...
the block is not the only main component in an engine, if no
damage, u can use it yur whole life time or if u wan to double or
trible the 1m km
the block itself has no moving parts so no wear n tear
