36k on those things... and you think they look great?
i'm no expert on rod bearings, but i theorize
part of the problem comes from the bearings becoming smooth and no longer getting proper lubrication. i observed tiny oil ridges on my bearings (2011.5 with the tin/aluminum bearings). i suspect these tiny ridges carry oil. once these things get polished to the point of not carrying oil and making actual contact, they can only go so long before its done.
