Let me recap so that you can clearly point out where I am "falsifying" the numbers.



So lets pick a point on the graph around 5800 rpm which conveniently shows an ~ doubling of overall oil flow.
At that point:
BMW 702 bearings show a total system flow rate of ~3.2 gpm
BE bearings show a total system flow rate of ~6.5 gpm.

Of course there is no way to know the actual OEM flow rate through the rod bearings at that point, but lets say its 30% of the total flow.
Pick a different number if you like but its highly unlikely to be much bigger.
So of your measured OEM total flow rate of 3.2 gpm, ~1 gpm flows through the RBs.

By increasing the RB clearance from 0.0017 to 0.0025 we observe an increase of oil flow from 3.2 to 6.5 gpm - where the increase of 3.3 gpm must be flowing through the RBs.
However, referencing the King Bearing graph above the prediction is for an increase in flow of only ~0.55 gpm (an ~ 55% increase).
How do you reconcile the predicted figure of 0.55 gpm with your clearly implausible increase of 3.3 gpm!
