Message	It may not have initially KO'd the bearing, but I think it greatly accelerated the wear on it. It's obvious to me that Dee drives the car hard and probably doesn't know what to listen for as far as peculiar motor noises. I think the bearing in #4 neared death during the overboost and was knocked out at some point between then and now, probably from more detonation at some point. Dee makes no secret of his lead foot and taste for high boost. So at some point between the overboost and now, he gave the bearing the knockout blow. And the aggresive tune probably didn't help. Now I'm not an expert, and this is my opinon. So all you dumbasses licking Ash's scrotum can stfu. I don't know what happened. I'm implying everything while knowing nothing. Good luck with whatever you find Ash. And hopefully for Dee, it's not FUBAR.
