I have an blown up engine in the shop (we didn't build it) that I think died a slow death from all of the fairy dust being sent through it from the needle bearing upgrade. This engine had a mild performance cam with .600 lift, it had 12,500 miles on it.

Here's one of the trunion shafts out of the engine
