I have now rebuilt 2 FA20 motors (1 super charged and 1 turbo charged) that were using a LWCP and a LWFW. Both had bearing issues just like the EJ's do.

We have the same experiences and we make the same recommendations.
Can you comment on my statement above:

A LWFW coupled with a stock pulley will NOT prematurely damage your bearings.

WHY would that be?
