Sorry to hear that dude, hope you get straightened out.

what do you guys think about this theory for early bearing failure: Engine break in for first ~1000miles generates a bunch of metal in the oil. Buyers happen to do this in the winter time and cold starts open the bypass valve for a short period of time every morning which lets a small amount of metal into the oil passages. Bearing wear begins and once the smooth wear layer is gone its just a matter of time before you get spun...Opinions?

Waiting on word if it will be covered by warranty.

More to story, but that’s it for now.
