What rod bearing issue?

Was $2300 with or without parts?

OP is 2008 so presumably original lead bearings

$2300 full bearing swap with WPC coated OEM bearings, labor, oil change and alignment.

It was a spring/summer special they were running. Maybe still going on.

I am second owner. Bought the car with 54000 miles from Paul Walker. Yes, that Paul Walker. I did oil reports from then to 147800? Stock bearings, ran good.

I wonder if this "wear" occurs early on and then isn't detected later. They might have been like this before I started oil tests at 54000.

People just need to do the research and make their own decisions. There's been like every permutation of bearing failures.

All stock, modded, low mileage, high mileage, new version and old version bearings, failure with no warning, failure with good oil analysis reports and now I believe even failure AFTER swapping to these new and supposedly "fixed" bearing versions

Be careful with your choice of words. SOME bearing changes have still resulted in an engine failure, but not always a bearing failure. Those with bearing failures include replacing with stock bearings, or stock bearings with WPC treatment so far.
