Message	It works fine for the complete championship. For the bearing I also use the plastigage and was ok. I run all the championship with 20 psi of boost and had no problem. Yesterday was the last training of the year on a very quick track so I wanted to try with more boost. Unfortunatly, that may be the reason why I destroy the bearings. Also, shouldn't I heard the detonation? The engine was running really fine. What boost is safe to run all the time?
