Meanwhile, I've done three thousand rod bearings jobs. I started a couple years ago and BE has only made one thousand rod bearings since they started, but I've done 3000. Maybe it was 4000, it's so hard to keep count
Anyone who has actually had a stroker built knows this is pure bullscrap. Pistons from Mahle Motorsport? That will be 12 weeks please. A balanced stroker crank? Give it another 12. Honing and boring the block? Can only be done after you have the pistons. Etc etc etc
Buy the parts ahead of time? LOL. The working capital needs would be epic

I've been in business for 7-1/2 years. 473 s85 builds, 81 of them are strokers. Have done a few dozen s65, then also s63tu, etc. My engine builds are in 33 different countries.
For what it's worth, 5w50 redline is best. The s65 and s85 have variable oil pump you will get same oil pressure as 10w60 but have significantly faster oil heating and significantly better cold start oil flow which saves bearing wear and keeps the motor cleaner. Look on my Instagram for more info it is @troyjeup
Best,
