No, I never had any ticking noise.
I know this bearing fix/update is pretty new, because I just upgraded from 600 to 650 less than 2-3 months ago and it was not included.
I pushed my car to the limit on a daily basis. (Last year I had some high speed problems with the kit that would cause a knocking noise at 125mph, it was later fixed with an "updated tune". Who knows maybe that caused some kind of damage, even Roman from ESS told me himself that not many people drive that hard, and they needed feedback from more aggressive owners. I did over 38,000 miles in 2 years, 20k supercharged. Top speeds on the track of 170+ I think I drove harder and more frequent than 80% of all owners of these kits. I am curious to see if more engines will start to blow as time passes and they put on more "wear/tear".
