A quick question on one of your earlier posts, When and how do you determine that it is necessary to flush the oil system to remove any old bearing material? Also is this a lengthy process?

It depends on what we're presented with, sometimes only a minor flush is needed. More serious cases will need extra attention to make sure all airborne particles are removed as best as possible.

2 more bearing services performed and we're only in the beginning of July, one of them was lucky to get here in time.
Give us a call or email and we'll be happy to discuss any portions of the service with you or get you scheduled in.

From what Blackstone is saying looks like your bearings are in good condition, pretty impressive for the mileage.

Hello,
Hopefully I didn't miss the answer to my question in a previous post, but the bearings that you provide in the service...are they OEM-sized? I have read in other threads that many of the "better" replacement bearings available have increase coating thickness and thereby reduce the needed clearance. Thanks! GM |

It does help, thank you! So, a superior, treated surface to help reduce friction AND keep oil in place.
My 2008 M3 coupe (i'm the 2nd owner) has 34,000 miles on it and has had all the oil changes performed on time. I'll get a Blackstone report done soon to see if I can I learn anything of the status of the bearings. Thanks again for the help. GM |

How have these WPC coated bearings been holding up? After the past couple years has anyone done an inspection to see how these have held up?

Haven't had anyone pull them out after we have done the service since the WPC treatment is relatively new. If we do get a chance to pull out the bearing that have been done we will be sure to post results though.

How did you flush the lines and oil cooler to remove metal particles? Any update on how this car is running? Was the crank scored up? That bearing looked pretty shot. |
