I appreciate what you and your team do. Can you elaborate a little more as to why this wouldn’t be the culprit or why this not a preventative maintenance item?
if you want to spend 15-20K for a engine out rebuild. you can. lol

people need to remember these are race engines. they wear out faster than a normal engine would, especially a high revving low displacement V8.

so yes, the main bearing is NOT a CHEAP preventative maintenance item.
