Re: What is with Rod Bearings dying?
Many things help like coatings, fresh oil, dependable machinest, a not so itchy foot, a good last minute prayer.The truth of the matter is that the fatory replacements are very capible of giving you many years and miles of dependability if installed PROPERLY.
Remember that there are members on here with stockers that have over 300k on them and still run like hell. I have 270k on mine and she works just great.
...on a side note I must admit that im fairly new to the 3si scene, but have had plenty of experience with vintage muscle. I have yet to do a complete tear down on my 3s's(and really dont look forward to it), but I wonder how dependable these cars really are. I mean people run into problems right and left, but when they finally discover the issue its usually due to neglegence, or being a tight wad. Are these cars really that bad, or are we the mechanics, or the mechanics we dump them off to, the ones with the issue?
just some food for thought.
