anybody else have any oil analysis data to share?
 
were these the cerakoted bearings? how many miles on these?
no those are going in my engine, this is a customer's 200,000 KM on them I'm almost sure they are original.
 
Almost certainly original IMO

Vast majority of 1hd-t in Aussie cruisers have never been opened up.
Guaranteed the average mileage wood be over 200k km

I wouldn't be so sure. I know several people who had HD-T's rebuilt at lower mileage. Oil consumption was the problem with one.
Australia was ground zero for the BEB problem because they can spend a lot of time driving in one direction at one speed. If that coincided with the speeds oil cavitation happened in the bearings then it was all over rapidly.

Here in NZ the driving is way more varied and we didn't have the same problem.

Low mileage rebuild are an exception, not the norm.
Do/did they happen? No doubt. Not disputing that at all.

One was a mate who bought it already rebuilt. I don't know the reason why and I don't think he did. Another bought one that seemed original and couldn't get on top of the oil consumption problem. He put a new long-block in it.

Both were before 2010. So vehicles approx 10-15 years old. The 1HD-FTE was a lot more reliable than the 1HD-T.
 
This was my report from about a year ago on my euro HDJ80 @ 336,000km. unsure if BEB's were ever done, but planning on doing them anyways in the next month or two
