I understand the diff scenarios involved when it comes to bearing failure, it is just ironic that 3 out 4 of my friends who uses 35 plus had this catasthropic failure not to mention some other guys at the track. please do not misunderstand me... i am not bashing the engine, My first 21 engine was a R1-WC who I put in over ten gallons not to mention I had it loaned to a friend. who knows how much did he use it for. the bearings held up until the conrod gave. I am just skeptical...
