Charles at LN Engineering is a top-notch, class-A guy. I haven't dealt with Flat-6 or seen the videos, so I can't comment on them. I've mentioned to Charles that I also think the bearing kit are a bit on the expensive side, but the quantities that these are being manufactured in are quite low. There is no drop-in bearing for the dual-row bearing - that was a custom-made bearing specifically for Porsche. You can use a slightly smaller bearing with a spacer, but no one is making a kit for that right now. Besides, replacing a faulty bearing design with another of the same bearing is not the wisest decision. Some of these bearings have let go on 30,000 mile engines, so in another 30K, are you going to replace your bearing again? With the LN kit, you just replace it once and forget it.

There may be a less expensive kit available in the future, but right now, Charles' kit is it.

As for the warranty issue, that is the first time I have heard of it, I will speak with Charles about it.
