Looking to purchase used rod bearings.

itsnotme · 10-21-2021, 08:12 PM

Hello!

I hope this is OK to post here in this section, if not please move or let me know where else to post.

I'm looking for all S65 rod bearings please. Used. Doesn't matter condition or wear, just from S65 only. I will pay for shipping and or come and pick them up locally in Southern California. (OC, LA, SD) please.

Thanks very much!

I can't help but curious! What's the use case? Maybe reach out to ACM or MRF

JP10 · 10-21-2021, 08:53 PM

I have my old ones somewhere, how much you paying haha

Mog-10 · 10-22-2021, 12:21 AM

I have some in a bag at home 75k what are you doing with them.

Helmsman · 10-22-2021, 02:41 AM

This made me curious! Have my old still, but would need to know why I'm shipping them...

Lets start a class action law suit and all get reimbursed for our bearings!

Mog-10 · 10-22-2021, 10:37 AM

Yes lets

alpina04 · 10-22-2021, 01:00 PM

lets do it

itsnotme · 10-22-2021, 02:25 PM

Haha, I'm having a 6 by 6 foot M Logo made out of rod bearings for my garage, and hopefully put into my dealership in 2022. Just need to start collecting now. And thanks everybody. I will send PM's this weekend with my PO Box address. Thanks!

I have my OE ones in bag somewhere that were changed at 130k miles.

Well, regardless of your macaroni elbow style art project, someone with legal knowledge here should let us know why a class action lawsuit wont occur or succeed. Didn't the N20 guys with timing chain issues get their cases covered?

(also no offense with the macaroni artwork comment, that is how I see it in my head, but post it when you are done!)

I find the switch to aluminum bearings in LCI models inplace of the copper ones highly weird / suspicious.

At least the copper ones let you monitor the wear a little better - is there is a bigger smoking gun than this if the reason isn't explained.

It's like 3 generations that have the RB issues E46, E9X and read recently about the G80 having a recall around something similar .. what gives
