Hi everyone. With all the recent discussion about bearing failures in the 928 engines here on Rennlist. I thought it might be a good idea to compile all of the info in one place and try to make some sense of it all. If you have had direct experience with a bearing failure in a 928 engine, please provide as much info as possible. Information such as:

Which bearings failed:

What other parts were damaged:

Year of engine:

Mileage on engine:

Did the engine see track use:

Was the engine boosted:

Was the oiling system stock or modified. If modified, please explain:

What type and weight of oil were you using when the failure occured:

Any additional info that others may find helpful:

Thanks for participating. I know this is a morbid subject for some but information is power.
