The root cause why the rod bearing failed will be very difficult to ascertain since you missed a bearing inspection during the gasket swap stage. The recall consisted of a noise inspection to determine if an excessive connecting rod bearing wear condition in the engine crankcase may be present. 0000014049 00000 n
(Like any high performance engine) One of the most troublesome is the premature failure of the connecting rod bearings. Therefore it is quite natural that rolling bearings should have come to play such a prominent part and that over the years they have been the subject of extensive research. 0000020456 00000 n

If it is suggested to you that a problem with your car is caused by worn or faulty rod bearings, it is vital that you clarify which type of bearing is being identified. If the customer overloads the vehicle, bearing damage could be inevitable. Engine bearing failures and how to avoid them Dr. Dmitri Kopeliovich Research & Development Director Most of engine bearing failures are caused by one of the two factors: - Mixed lubrication with direct metal-to-metal contact between the bearing and crankshaft surfaces; - Fatigue of the bearing material. >>

A connecting rod for an internal combustion engine consists of the 'big end', 'rod' and 'small end' (or 'little end'). As a result, oil may be blocked and cause the connecting rod bearings to wear, which would then cause them to fail and seize the whole engine. The shaft, spinning inside a dry bearing, heats up very quickly. /L 706872
While it has only been documented as the ultimate failure cause for total engine destruction in less than 1% of S65’s sold, the number of engines that have experienced premature rod bearing wear is much higher. https://www.enginebuildermag.com/2017/03/preventing-connecting-rod-failures 0000018396 00000 n
