Regardless, that some shop has managed to make drinking water out of nuclear sludge doesn't make me want to drink that water when I can go anywhere else and buy regular water.
In the end, do whatever you want. I don't work for BE or VAC, or anyone in the car business for that matter.

You're way out of line with those comments and insinuations.
VAC does not make bearings. The bearings (and hardware) that VAC sells are all made by third parties. In fact, they are made by the same third parties that "BE Bearings" recommends: Clevite (for the bearings) and ARP (for the bolts).
Among the many items VAC sells is Castrol 10w60. Are you really going to question the integrity of a shop that buys its Castrol 10w60 from VAC instead of someone else just because VAC might have customer service issues?
It's really ridiculous for a supposed adult to just sit back on a computer attacking the credibility and ethics of a shop that, in your estimation, is only guilty of buying Clevite bearings and ARP rod bolts from one supplier instead of another. The good name of shop that you are referencing was built with blood, sweat, and tears by a real person over a period of years. You should think about that before you so casually try to sling mud.
