Besides that the car is fully stock. Had it 3 months so far, changed the rod bearings just to be on safe side and the old ones looked literally brand new. So I'm happy the car has been treated well. These are the old ones that were on the car
Can you take a picture of the markings on the back of the bearings?

They don't look oem, the darker color looks like it has a coating on it, so either BE or VAC.

Since you are not far from Auto Couture Motoring, I'd say give them a call and your vin and see if they could tell you if they did the rb service. Judging by the condition of the car, I'd say they could have been an ACM customer.
