The 0-20 might work but for me the engine is too expensive to just see if it works. If it was a small block chevy that is super cheap to rebuild I would try it. According to the BMW specs 1bar is sufficient at idle but I dont have money to blow if the 0-20 doesnt work.
Is Clevite mentioning that ALL of the engine's bearing clearances are out of proper spec for 10w-60 or just the rod bearing clearances? I'll go back through some posts; I may have read my own answer and lost it
