That's like saying clamydia isn't as bad as aids , while both are sexual diseases no one would want
Yes the s65 is worst at destroying its own bearings , but that doesn't make the S54 bearing issues moot
It DOES go through bearings , but as it is a high performance engine that revs to the moon, some might deem it an acceptable trade off
I'm neither a fan of the VQ nor the S54
Both are gutless in the early 2000s era as I was driving 450+ awtq Evos on ethanol
