While there may be alot of motors with the issue you just cannot assume that.

We are on the internet, everything that happens on a forum is magnified.

It's kinda like the SMG on the e46M3, before i bought mine if I googled SMG all i would get is horror stories. It was unbelievable. I still ended up buying it without a day of warranty. And that bad boy never skipped a beat. And even the new owner hasn't had any issues. Although the timing chain blew.
Are there any threads of a tear down that hasn't showed a rod bearing issue?

Just when i got my anxiety under control... This happens
