really appreciate the effort for the write up and the sharing of the data
but this is not encouraging for the s65.
I am guessing there is no easy work around/bandit for this rod side clearance issue? Would running thinner oil help here too?
On a sarcastic/funny note, so if the engine is cold, oil might not be able to get to the rod bearings for lubrication and cause the bearings to wear. If the engine is hot (too hot?), the rods side might close up and prevent oil escaping which will probably cook the oil inside the rod bearing and then destroy the bearing? This is our beloved s65 that won the engine of the year for all those years straight.
I will still keep this car/engine though.
