Question N55 Rod Bearing replacements

Hi guys,

my MHD Stage 2+ tuned n55 is approaching 190K km (118K miles)... engine runs great and pulls strong.

been reading that rod bearings can be an issue on these engines particularly tunes ones. I know the effort involved (mine is F34 335GT).

question is?? how do i know if I need to replace them? is this a maintenance item or more of a address when XXX symptom(s) appear... I've heard people talk about rod bearing knock; but to tell if I have it?

Thanks!

If replacing; preferred brands?
