While I appreciate you taking the time to share your story, it's a story without documented facts or even statements from owners with failed engines.
Based on the available documentation in this forum, the issue does appear to be real, albeit far less common than what you profess.
I certainly may eat my own words one day, but for now I feel at peace with my engine.

More salt... 
The problem is that the entire world is not on this forum,most people don't even know the existence of it !
I had also several PM's from people that are asking to stop talking of our bearing failures .
Sure they had bearing failure , but they don't post it on here !
Damn why not....? 
It's only one single and simple reason and not complicated...."Thinking about the value of their car" !
I don't want to buy a car with the history of bearing failure, do you.. ?
So even when member on here and in case of bearing failure...Personal I think not even 50 % of it will post it on here !
How we should call this in two words ?...."Smart moves" ???
I've nothing against that (free country) and it's all about money and I'm ok with that , but they are not on here and not counted...
About my info I'm 99% sure,and maybe in may I hope to get the total number if it's possible .(Depends of Germany)
But at that moment you can tell the same thing , so were are we going ?
Think sometimes maybe it was better to eat my numbers , but I'm too angry for that ! 
And like you sad...Feel peace with my engin "for now" ! ( same here )
The big question is for how long ...
Found also something interesting for you,at least I'm curious => http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1087004 |
You are still only speculating about failures, whereas SFP is presenting data based on documented failures in US/Canada.
I think everyone on here acknowledges that the current dataset does not capture every failure in these regions. But until someone presents valid documentation and data for the purported dozens (hundreds?) of other failures, those claims will remain nothing more than hearsay.
As such, we would need 4-5X the number of currently documented North American failures to approach a 1% failure rate. I can live with that risk... For now |
Common sense post.....almost shocking to find that around here.
