It has nothing to do with the dealers. There are many ways that the system could be blocked up enough to LOWER the pressure to a level that will result in bearing failure. It isn't just pick ups or shit in the pan. Ermax has a nice picture of a blocked passage in his engine that
spun a bearing. So do many of the others.
But NOOOOOOO it can't be that simple there must be some other explanation that nobody can come up with.
Present me with a theory beyond you "have a feeling that something else is going on here" and I will be all ears (well eyes).
We have scads of evidence that the majority of the engines that failed had excess sealant in them. It isn't coincidence that 99% of the failed bearings have been on 2013s that also had oil leaks and bad seals right from the factory. They had a manufacturing issue that blocked passages and spun bearings. Now they have a repair that involves resealing engine components and SUPRISE they are blocking passages and spinning bearings.
