Yet Another 08 Rod Bearing Replacement

[squartus]

killerfish bought his car with already high miles on it, think 98k? So he avoided this whole issue by getting one of the cars that came with good clearance etc.

Yet wants to tell everyone thats spinning bearings etc that they are fear mongering etc, tell that to somone that has spun bearings at 50k or switched them out at 30k and had many of them worn through to copper "as mine were"

Dont buy a car that passed the mine field and tell everyone else they got nothing to worry about and that you have no fear, especially when people in the 5k-70k mile range and blowing engines and pulling bearings that look like you took a grinder to them.

Its just not cool man.

"we dont look for problems.....we let them find us" i think was what he said.......that statement alone rendered his opinions useless
