I make an effort to avoid stirring things up but you really should do as suggested and delete your posts. You've proven that you fall into your category of individuals who don't understand the issue and you're simply perpetuating the same misunderstandings you condemn.

Using that video as your "proof" only further demonstrates that the understanding of engine lubrication and bearing design escapes you. That video was a hot topic, discussed at length in various other threads by actual engine builders and engineers who instantly identified numerous issues and incorrect nomenclature proving the narrator himself did not understand bearings in general much less how they relate to the S65. It was an embarrassment and I'm sure some people over there wish that video would disappear from the internet.
