There haven't been any reports of rod bearing failure on S55 that I've seen yet though.
The motor is a torque monster, not surprised at all. My buddy at Zakspeed had N55 bearings out near 75k and were into the copper. Will probably do mine around 75k.

As for spun crank hub - I want to know out of all reported cases, how many resulted in actual engine damage? Sounds like most just go into limp mode and require a replacement hub, no other damage. I only know of 1 with valve damage.
