Really? Clearances and oils will vary by year make and model. You wouldn't happen to be making and gross generalization here would you? And again, my just prior comments about BMW clearances: The new bearings are "proper" by standard best practices and the older ones just slightly out of this spec. Lastly, how many of these failures do you think have nothing to do with true internals? I'd bet a bunch are simply oil and water pump failures and gaskets failures that led to much worse things...
