Here are some from the last couple of weeks. Had a run of some really bad ones lately. Some of these are a miracle there was no journal damage...
And then, we get a set from a time capsule that had the best oem bearings I've ever seen come out of an S65. German lottery winner! This is how we wish all S65 bearings looked. |

Those 2008 bearings with 26k look great. Wish more looked like that!

Not always the case, I’ve talked to original owners who did exactly that and bearings looked like crap close to that mileage.

Then again, swapped mine at 37k and they could have run for a long time to come. |

Yeah, first I've seen too that seem completely un touched, nice. I would not put in extended clearance shell back, maybe VAC/ACL standard that are a tad more open then the 88/89 which I guess came out.

**Annotation to this post - I'm an idiot. You said Austin, not Houston.** I had a PPI done for my car at ABR in North Houston. It was a good experience overall and they seemed highly familiar with these cars. Still, do your own research. I'm not sure what ABR recommends as replacement RB parts. I think you'll find plenty of people on this forum who would recommend you make the trip to Dallas for deansbimmer |

2008 46K Miles
Well I finally succumbed to the hysteria and had my rod bearings done.
I have also included an older Blackstone report from when I first bought the car - about 9K miles before the bearings were changed. During my ownership my oil change intervals were very short (less than 2K miles) so I couldn't glean anything useful from those. Not great, but it's the only one I have. 2008 46K miles Warm-ups/track days/supercharger unknown - I am both the 5th and 7th owner of this car, but there were perfect warm ups and no track days on my watch. Replacement done by Cantech Auto in Syracuse, NY. Replaced with ARP bolts and VAC bearings. I am not sure which are the tops and which are the bottoms but they are in order from left (1) to right (8). |

Not as bad as many. Better than my 2008 looked with 60k, but maybe mine would have looked like yours when mine had 46K. Too bad you are able to drive the car only 2000 miles per year. I’d probably sell mine if I did not use it much and buy a fun car I would use more.

I think it is 77K Miles.
Either way, both sets look terrible.
