As far as I know, yes. EJ22's have been known to go 300k+ miles 
But since my car is from the east coast, it has a bit of a rust problem (kinda bad in the engine bay)
. The engine may oulive the chasis, hehe...

Okay, My suby's about to hit 154k on the original engine. I'm getting some smoke whenever I gun it in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Probably time for a gasket changed throughout the motor and a good valve adjustment. Changed the timing belt at 105k, should I get it done again while the motor is apart just to do it?

Could be wearing rings or a head gasket issue. If you're doing all the work you might as well do a timing belt as well.
Mine is about to hit 150. Talking 149,880 or something like that. Getting close. I checked my timing belt a couple weeks ago. All belts and hoses good but what subaru doesn't need a valve adjustment. haaaa.
