I do not have any B58 engines with a stuck lifter or scored camshaft bearings and I have many of these engines out there. The engine output was increased, and with that increase, premature wear is always a possibility. As a result, the policy will always be that ANY DME manipulation will result is a voidance of warranty. Our oil volume and pressure are electronically controlled from the DME. That algorithm which controls the oil volume/pressure has many inputs that are monitored to ensure that the correct calculation of oil volume/pressure are achieved. Turbo boost is monitored and is part of this calculation since the turbo is fed with engine oil supply and I know that this signal was manipulated with the Dinan software. This would most likely explain the failure and why I have not seen this failure before with this particular engine.
Basically, Dinan is increasing the boost/load on the engine without adjusting the oil volume/pressure to accommodate it.

This leads me to think that there must/should have been quite a few engine failures due to Dinan's V1 piggyback. I wonder if there were.
