let's see, horizontally opposed engine with a SEVEN bearing main......and a LWF is gonna break the crank? please.....

if GT3's are breaking cranks, me thinks there is another issue. this occurs when the harmonics flex the crank back & forth until it fatigues (like a paperclip you bend back & forth until it breaks). i'd really like to see a photo of these failures to see if the fracture is indeed metal fatigue or if it's a helical separation, indicating something else all together......
