Questions:
What is it about LM that is causing this? oil is the only variable that has changed so there must be a significant difference in the formulation or properties of LM.

I am going to change out the bearings ASAP, as soon as I can source some BE shells and studs, has anyone correlated the ticking to imminent or advanced bearing failure?

Cheers,
Craig
Now that you guys mention it, my tick started in October after I switched from Castrol to LM oil as well....
