Any division who thinks rod bearings is a "maintenance issue" is crazy. This is unacceptable for a factory car. Replacing the bearings is not even the correct solution. Instead you should be opening up the clearance a bit.

A "very common" problem on this particular issue is a "very serious" problem in my book.
No truer of a post has been made!

I agree with all points you make and have been telling all forum members this exact message!
