Honestly sticking with the OEM bearings (I'm assuming the newer, harder ones) is a bad idea IMO. I mean sure, it will be better to have new bearings but doesn't really solve the problem that was part of the initial design on the S65. Especially if you want to go FI.

After talking with a few guys around town MWorks and BakerSmith Motorworks are my top contenders. The job isn't complicated. It just is imperative that it is done with attention to detail. Both companies seem to have that without a single bad review. My car is at Eastside Auto Spa right now and once my new BE Bearings and bolts come in, will be scheduling with one of the two.

I will be replacing the subframe bushings and inspecting the entire driveline while it is up. If things need replaced, it'll be done while it is there.

I won't spend the $$ on the new oil pan. I haven't had any issue with the electronic measuring since owning the car new in 2011.
