On a loosely related note I would be quite surprised if the new bearings had a radically reduced capability to capture and embed small particles. It is such an essential feature of journal style bearings.

I agree on this, from our experience that is a drawback of the harder bearing. It is much easier damaged from trash floating around in the system. I have wondered, if the clearance is greater then what is throwing rods out of what seems like the newer cars more than the older cars. The older ones are delaminating and wearing out but the new ones seem to grab and kick the rod out. There was a post on here about a guy that changed his bearings and you could see the large amount of debris that floated through and really damaged the bearing. The filter seems pretty good on the s65. Some of these cheap oil filters on cars really dont filter much, they just sit on the bypass all the time.
