I'm being defensive because I strongly dislike unproven information being spread and this forum is pretty bad for that.
I agree, but I wouldn't have said it if I didn't know what I was talking about. The people I know are quite experienced as well and have rebuilt many, many motors. Rod bearing swap is pretty hard to fuck up. I've done it myself. And remember, I'm talking about the S85 here, not the S65, but the bearings are identical.
