[QUOTE="NoVAGT5.0, post: 15428772, member: 182420"] Mile - don't let me scare you off from your car! One of the reasons that I created the thread was to better understand what causes a bearing failure. I was fairly confident that something I did (or didn't do) caused the problem. I don't really think it's typical for a bearing to spin unless there are extenuating circumstances. At least in my case, there was a fairly obvious audible indicator of the issue. I couldn't isolate it at first, but when I pulled a coil and the sound stopped, I knew I was in trouble. It sounded an awful lot like a sewing machine actually. Are you hearing any abnormal sounds coming from under the hood? I'd hate to think that I was scaring anyone away from their vehicle. These are great cars. I was heartbroken by this experience, sure, but I also realized that I've been pretty hard on it, and sooner or later something was bound to break. It's hard for me to wrap my head around the idea of a low oil condition causing the problem, but only because for all my shortcomings, I am normally pretty obsessive about oil related maintenance of my vehicles. I'm reasonably sure that it simply must've gotten low at some point, and all it took was getting behind the wheel under those conditions, not realizing there was a problem, and putting the hammer down (in a not so gentle kind of way).
