So to change the upper and lower rod bearings, all you had to do was drain the oil and drop the pan? Everything was accessible that way?

I've never worked inside an S65, but I've done a rod bearing replacement without removing the crank before. You can change the rod bearings by working in groups. I don't know the firing order of the S65, but you rotate the crank and work on pistons that are at bottom dead center. You pull the cap, put the rod bolts back in, then push the piston up with your fingers (you pulled the spark plugs before you started). It's pretty easy to get the clearance you need to remove the rod-side bearing.

Congrats on your new Gen 2 Upgrade. There seem to be many Gen 2 transformations going on right now but ill try and keep a close eye on this build as it should be a good one. I still cant believe how many miles you have problem free! Wish I was so lucky with my 135.

Definitely going to follow this. Getting off to a great start! Looks like the S65 held up to boost nicely, any plans for a low compression build?

Huzzah! That's some healthy wear. Did you see any oil pressure drop at that wear level? How are you feeling about the mains?
