Remanufactured S65 Rod Bearing Correction

[stubble88]

Does anyone know if the Remanufactured S65's come with any rod bearing adjustments?
Basically, did BMW take this oppertunity to fix this common problem?

thanks

I'd be doubtful, even if under the no-lead laws, if an engine was manufactured and placed on a shelf, I wouldn't think they would be required to dismantle it and replace the lead bearings. If you have the older, lead bearings, be thankful!

Depending on the date of remanufacture, the engine would have either old lead bearings or the current new lead free bearings. It is possible but not guaranteed that a remanufactured engine may have ground crank journals and may use oversized bearings!
