Blown motors, Rod Bearing failure S65 Registry.

Nugget · 04-27-2017, 08:21 PM

I'd skip it.
I did a preventative rod bearing replacement, then my main bearing went.

Non supercharged?

Test pipes and BPM tune.
Was planning to supercharge, but replacing engine and selling instead.

Sorry to hear that.
I'm assuming it's rod bearing related and I've added you to the registry.

Cheers Aus, it was the spread sheet a'la SFP's I had in mind but saw you attached that in current status as well.

aus · 05-01-2017, 10:37 PM

I haven't seen SFP in a while. I don't know if he's still updating his spread sheet.

There is no consensus as to what mileage they need to be replaced because there have been failures in engines as low as 17k miles in CPO cars. How it was maintained seems to have zero influence on when the bearings might grenade.

Those who believe there is an underlying clearance/engineering/assembly problem inherent to these S65 would generally suggest that you replace them as soon as you get the car. Even if for no other reason than to have an insurance policy against future failure.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??"
