(it's the other way around here but we're closer to Japan than the USA)
I wiped a set of NDC Rod bearings but it was during sustained 8000 rpm and 30 psi boost runs with tight clearences!
Only just running the new motor in so it hasn't been abused yet!
The NDC's in the motor before the 8k/30psi effort looked good when pulled!
