I doubt this will happen again with the MWR bearings.

As long as the rods are still within spec there shouldnt be a prob.

depends. rod bearings don't fail by themselves normally- my guess is he probably has a bad oil consumption problem and has not been checking the oil regularly - tell him to keep a close eye on the oil level.

Yep. If all was within spec he probably was running low on oil and maybe hit lift, starving the rods.

He couldn't have hit lift in his GT but you are right he probobly he ran his car low on oil and starved his rods.

hehe rigth you are. I think GT-S by default, need to kick-off that Lift addiction.
