That's exactly the point of UOA. That's why Blackstone Labs has been around for almost 4 decades. Incredibly popular in the BMW crowd who have cars with S motors known for eating rod bearings. Engines like the S54 in the E46 M3 are notorious for this. Some speculation is that bearings are too narrow to carry the HP and RPM load of the engine, since it has the same bore spacing as the old M20. A 6k 170hp engine, not an 8400rpm 333hp engine. Some of the pro's think the reason is guys beating on the cars before the oil is fully up to temp. Quote:

I never really looked at dates since I was looking more for a failure mode than anything. I would guess that it is probably a pretty tight range though. These things usually don't last long before they are caught.

Build dates are definitely interesting. I don’t think there is an established pattern for RTV. And I don’t think there are enough samples with engines failures to establish a pattern?

The oil analysis is great but by the time you get the results telling you there is an issue the damage is already going to be done. Justin's report is almost perfect much the same as all the rest. There is just no evidence at all (at this point) that there is any gradual wear happening.

Problem is that we have not seen any UOA of the failed engines while it was still running (or again, maybe i missed this info?) thus we do not know if they were suffering from a gradual slow death. All the positive UOAs that we have seen thus far are from engines that have not failed and very well might never fail. What i am seeing is that more evidence suggests that RTV is not causing premature wear so these spun bearings is likely not related.

Never starting the engine brings up a whole different set of issue though.

As I have said many times there is more than just the obvious collected RTV at play here. Everybody is fixated on that because it is so in your face that they tend to miss the bigger picture. The failed engines to this point have all been very low mileage and abnormal gradual wear to the point of bearing failure just does not make sense. I bet that any analysis on those engines minutes before they failed would have shown no problem. Bearings most often spin due to poor lubrication. There are of course other things that can come into play but lube is by far the number one cause. This is not a new or even uncommon issue. Usually means that somebody didn't watch their oil level though. When just one bearing spins and the rest are fine (as we know from a couple of examples) that means the flow was impeded to that one bearing. There have been enough examples of small pieces found in the oil filters to know that at least some made it into the system. A piece not much bigger than the head of a pin blocking a bearing oil journal is more than enough to take out that single bearing very quickly. Add the stress of performance driving to that reduced oil flow and the result is sudden and catastrophic failure.

The oil filter is bypassed on cold start and under high pressure. Not every ounce of oil goes through the filter all the time. The big stuff caught in the pickup is the least of the worries as far as I see.

Toyota denied warranty. Goodwill denied as well. Reason: 1. Previous gen oil filter was used. 2. 0w30 oil was used. 3. Car hit 129mph at 8300rpm on 5th gear ??? Car saw 32 days with 14k total miles before engine failed. If I was at fault, I will own up to it. But wow...this is my 3rd 86 and have hundreds of days on previous 2 cars. |
