You can find my original bearings in the big S65 bearing thread c/a July 2022, they looked alright at 130k. The BE v2s all measured around 0.0013 clearance with plasti-gauge, and according to the BE site that is fine. About to see if that's true, if I got unlucky with mains, or if it's another factor that led to its demise.

Sorry to hear this, I'll watch out for your report, will you report here or another thread?
Btw, I take it that measurement is in inches? (1000th).

Have you stripped out the engine to find out what's wrong? (@83k)
