Would need to read more about the theory. Might just be old news about the change in bearing material due to EU lead rules that went into effect sometime in 2011. General consensus is that clearance is at the very tight end of the range for all production years. There are alternative theories like abusive owners, too thick oil, sulphur in the gas, but support for any of them seems limited.
