It may also help to install better rod bearings. Clevite 77 seems to be the higher grade bearing of choice. Main bearings are not a problem.

I'm an agressive driver, but with a bit of common sense, I have avoided the problem without any modifications. I avoid hard acceleration or high revs on sweeping right hand turns (freeway on ramps) and use 6 quarts when I change oil. I have 205,000 miles on it and it still runs strong.





I've started to make sure that my oil is 2-4cm's above the fill dot as people have said ...

Either way, I'm still going to move my battery to the trunk and try and get a 2qt accusump in there ... 2qt's should be a lot extra. Maybe a DMD too just in case.
