Remove large BB from engine
I've got everything out of my F4.6 except the large ball bearing. I baked at 275 for 15m and got the front bb out but the back one won't budge. Any ideas?

How can that bearing "blow?" If the motor is taken care of, then it is always lubricated by the fuel, so could it only go by neglect?

I don't recall him saying it was blown.
There's this little thing called friction...
it makes metal-on-metal parts, like bearings, wear out. Then they get play in them. This means they should be replaced.
the engine in your 1:1 car is well lubricated...but that doesn't mean it doesn't see wear.
