Lol! Those BMW V8s and their rod bearings though
LS7 certainly has valve guide issues, agreed. At this point, anyone who denies it is lying to themselves.
LT1 as compared to the 5.2 Voodoo because of early failures - that's a stretch as the LT1 failures occurred early and were addressed immediately by GM. On a production percentage basis, the LT1 is far more reliable than the Voodoo, which Ford has done nothing to correct the issues aside from warranty rebuilds with the same parts/setup that failed in the first place.
