I am not going to panic but is still sucks because there have been bone stock cars that still fail bearings. What does suck is that I can afford a nice used supercharged what I cant afford is to blow the bottom end out. It has nothing to do with over stressing the engine either. The bottom line is they set it way too tight for what is should be.
We race every weekend a smaller journal than what bmw has and we still have more clearance. If it was prudent to run that tight we would be doing it every weekend.
