I was doing this as preventative maintenance since I am out of warranty and could not afford an engine failure. Its like buying insurance -- you pay the premium even if it turns out you have no claims but you are really happy you have it if something does go wrong. My very rough statistics suggested I had a 99% chance or better that nothing would go wrong if I left the bearings alone. Few bet against odds like that. It was also a fun project and a learning experience. |

Kevin-
Did the above M3 owner complain about excessive rod bearing noise before coming to see you guys, or was this a preventative decision ? The one pic is un-nerving to look at . Thanks for sharing.

Agree, wow that report didn't correlate very well with the wear!
OP, is it possible to see whether its the old or new type bearings (ie 702/703)? |

His report doesn't show any trending. It's possible bearing content could have shown up earlier if trending was in fact done.
How did the crank look? Any wear or damage? Doug |
