Yes. possibly.
It will more than likely have to come off at least once in its 250K mile life for machine work and valve job (more than likely due to head gasket failure.
the only killer of the 9-5 head, that i could think of, would be warping due to over heating.
with proper maintenance and engine care I dont see any reason the 9-5 cylinder head could last 250K miles.
Piston and rings are likely to clap out long before that though. You would really have to baby the whole engine to get it along that far, but i suspect some one in the SN 9-5 group may be getting close. anyone?
