Hmm... that's strange. One of the big points Subaru has made in the past about the flat-engines and their H-6 in particular was that it was a non-interference engine.
Personally I never had a timing belt go in an SVX, so I wouldn't know... but I recently had the pleasure of seeing a Honda V-6 engine stripped down after a timing-belt issue... I think I might build some sort of ornament out of the pummelled valves
