I've read the entire thread and couldn't find if this was asked.
If there is metal in the oil pan and even if things like the pan, oil cooler, oil pick up lines, banjo bolts, AVCS solenoid are replaced and the motor is flushed out; would it be a good thought to replace the rod bearings anyways?
My 06 LGT turbo died while I was on the road to pick up a new aluminium radiator and since this is my daily I want to know what would be the best way to not have issues post new turbo.
