Spun bearings survey?

GeoNV · Yesterday, 02:41 PM

Hey, I've heard lots of different reasons people spun bearings and lots of theories on how to prevent it- but I'm hoping people who've spun a bearing wouldn't mind doing a survey for me- if we get enough responses it would be pretty cool to see what common threads are there!

Looks like a great idea, I would also add if it was a stock block or built, was it forged internals? Maybe also add the company who put the block together?

I added some tick boxes at the last question to try to capture that- with a free survey I'm limited to 10 q's! people could put it in the comments i think. Thanks for the feedback.

Good idea but nothing is concreate. I do have a couple of suggestions. You might want to add 5w-40 oil since that is very popular. Also maybe change the engine mod section. Stage 1, 2, and 3 and reduce alot of those other options. The power levels for example can go.

There are SO many reasons why an engine can fail and so many possibilities as to why and how a spun bearing occures.

made some changes- I wanted to leave the power levels in there so if people know them they can put them in. I did add stages though, thanks for the suggestions.
