Yeah, wrenched for 20 of those 39 years now I am a technical rep for Snap on tools. While I could do the work myself, I no longer have a place to do that work. So that's why I have to have my buddy do the work.

So in other words if the repair shop called in and said the engine had a low end knock they would be told to tear it down.. At that point they would see these burned out S65 rod bearings and pay the repair. I would think that would work.

Well. bad me for leaving all those details out.. It actually had 2 oil changes in the time I had the car. It did because the dealer did an oil change when i first got the car but used Mobile 1 oil at 5 w30. So after just a few miles I told them the car had the wrong oil and they then did the correct oil change with TWS After that the oil was 3 months old and had 7100 miles on it when Blackstoned. It was stock 10 60 TWS Yes new filter. |

That may work, however due to the cost of this repair it is likely that the warranty company would send out an adjuster to confirm that there is low end knock before approving further work. You can roll the dice though, nothing to lose if they deny you...

As for your problem I would go with another Blackstone in 3K miles . But personally I don't believe in Blackstone . I saw several perfect Blackstone reports and after a few weeks the S65s got bearing failure .

Blackstone reports are certainly no guarantee but they are better than nothing for 08-10 cars. Like you said, there have been examples of clean reports followed by bearing failures shortly after, but we have also seen high lead reports which led to bearing replacements that looked trashed when removed. For $30, it's cheap peace of mind despite not being fool proof.

So now regarding the BE bearing replacements. I would assume that this really isn't the be all fix and that these bearings will once again self destruct.. Is that what you guys have been seeing over time?

They are supposed to be the final fix and I haven't heard or seen anyone come back with a failure due to the BE bearings thus far.

The idea behind BE bearings is that they address the clearance issue of OEM bearings. Theoretically, they are a permanent solution though they haven't been around long enough to prove that out.
