It’s apparently very common in the LSA world on the V side. There’s so many posts about spun bearings. It’s not even funny. I reinforced brick. Did solid isolator. Vented crankcase. I did everything I thought would be good enough. I read horror stories about M1 5w30 which is what I was told to run. Now all my racing buddies and tuner are telling me I shoulda been running VR1 5-20. So idk. I trust their word. And yeah I can’t wait to get it out and see the damage.
