He does not contribute anything productive to the forums or offer anyone any help or advice.
The whole point of this forum, or so I thought, was to share ideas and thoughts and engage in some fun banter, as well as help each other out with technical help.
Oh, and make fun of each other from time to time.
And no cats!
I'm not so sure that telling us of an LN bearing failure (or early stages) is having the intended effect. From where I stand it seems to underline the fact that we so rarely have forum members report an issue, even despite the fact that third parties of varying degrees of competence are doing nearly all of the installations. Think of all the ways that someone can screw that up... yet I don't think I could count on the fingers of one hand all of the people who have come on to this and other Porsche forums railing about a LN failure.
Granted, the forum represent only a sliver of sliver of total 986/996 drivers but I mean I can't think of a single person who has come on here to say the LN bearing was installed and the engine still grenades. Now compare that to the number of factory bearings that went kaput and the owners came on to ask what to do with their roller.
The fact that people with single row bearings even postpone the swap in the face of such an absence of complaints post-swap really baffles me.
