Anyways like I was saying. Many Duratecs with low miles have spun bearings, been said here many times.

I havent heard of any new Hemis spinning bearings with low miles, have you?





Dumbest reply ever? Why is that? Because I told you exactly why you won't see many spun bearings on the Hemi's. You think that back in 1998, we were seeing a ton of spun bearings in the 1995 Contours? NO! As was also mentioned, having a motor spinning nearly 7000rpms increases chances of a spun bearing. I'm not writing off the fact that there's a flaw in the design of the Duratec oiling system, but we're also comparing apples to oranges. Give it a couple of years, you WILL be seeing common occurances with the HEMI cars, that you see with every other car on the road, whether it be spun bearings, blown headgaskets, etc..
