So this engine was about to blow at any moment with no warning whatsoever?! I wonder if the IMS Guardian would have detected this on time, thus preventing from the original bearing to get as bad as it has.
I was unaware that if the OEM bearing was deteriorated, that replacing with a new one is ill advised. I am guessing then that the best thing to do with all M96/97 motors is to open them up, change to a LN bearing, and know that every 40K miles this needs to be done as part of regular maintenance?! If so, Porsche owners can no longer laugh at Ferrari ownership (maintenance related...)
