True, as per BTfd says BUT if the recommendation from LN is to replace the ceramic single row bearing every 50k miles, I wonder if anyone has actually done that yet - installed the bearing, ran it for 50k miles, replaced it and sent the old bearing to LN for analysis?
Has LN inspected any removed bearings and quantified the wear characteristics with enough evidence to confirm that the predicted 50k mile lifespan is correct ??
I'm not talking about LN / Flat 6's dedicated test mule engines but the bearing upgrades bought by actual M96 engine owners "off the street" .
