I have a 99 XK8 with 48000 miles and I think I spun the bearings on it. Has
anyone heard of any factory problems that would have caused this? The car is
well maintained with regular oil changes and garage kept. It had great oil
presure until this happened no warning signs just driving along at about 60
mph and the tap started.
Thanks Mike

I'm not aware of any bottom end problems, there were, I believe problems,
about that year with cylinder liners
