spun bearing=user error...as in low oil or contaminated oil....PERIOD. seems to me like after your bhg you didnt flush out the oiling and coolant system well enough...allowing it to contaminate and eventually give you the rod bearing problem.....thats a common USER error....
and a motor that has been abused and then you get it and mod it or whatever...a 3inch exhaust is enough to bump the boost almost double...from 7 to 10-12psi....thats definintley enough to push a ragged out stock hg to the limits....
it sucks you had a bad experience with a 7m.....but dont preach about the 1g being better in ANY aspect then the 7m because it simply is not....
