If you're not hearing any knock, I see no reason to swap any engine bearings. an ls7 with 40k miles, minor upgrades, and good valve guides is a pretty tough engine. I'd go all or nothing, pull engine and do a full tear down, or keep enjoying it. What is the oil pressure like? what oil do you run?
Being in Germany, Id expect this car sees high speeds all the time...?

My previous owner was an instructor old guy but I think he took him hard but he cared his car the heads were still up to 38k miles stock.

20k miles, btr stage 2 cam/heads/tune
hey Thanks a l lot i have new Valve Guides on my stock ls7 heads thats what i make first.
=leftI ask only because the Bmw engines such as the s65b40 or s85b50 rod bearings have problems.
Believe me I'm not in the mood for spending my free time in the garage I prefer to be with my children and my family.
But what does that mean if I have an engine failure due to rod end bearing damage and spend my spare time in the garage that would cost me a lot of money and a divorce? :-) :-)
Better care than aftercare, I thought.
But if you say never touch a running system then I'll leave it that way. I do not know if the LS7 engines have rod bearings problems so I ask here.
If any one has any experience with what mileage in which state they are ....
