The guy is saying that the bearing tabs stop bearing rotation. Someone must know the truth.

Kill me now. If a bearing is grabbed enough that it needs a tang (not tab) to keep it in place it's ******* anyhow. Bearings are held in by their elliptical shape and the tension in the shell. They don't need a tang to keep them in place - the tang was only to assist hand assembly early on. Bearings spin because the crank/conrod grabs them because something has gone out of spec or oil lubrication has failed. We know there are design flaws in the V6 engine that causes harmonics that can kill cranks in these engines.

It's of no surprise that LR have gone back to straight engines for future cars given the better harmonics of straight engines. That said, it's possible to make a v6 sing, just not 100% reliably seemingly LR
