My 143k mile motor with BE v2 bearings installed at 130k is on the verge of spinning a main or rod bearing. Filter is full of copper, slightly knocking at idle, and I'm tearing it down in the next few weeks to see what happened.

You can find my original bearings in the big S65 bearing thread c/a July 2022, they looked alright at 130k. The BE v2s all measured around 0.0013 clearance with plasti-gauge, and according to the BE site that is fine. About to see if that's true, if I got unlucky with mains, or if it's another factor that led to its demise.
