Blackstone Analysis - 60,000 Miles S54
Here is my oil analysis from 60,000 miles on an S54 coupe. This is also with 8,000 miles with the Rogue engineering lightweight flywheel. Everything appears good.
Any comments are welcome.

Steve, congrats on the good oil report. However, I'm interested in hearing about the Rogue flywheel.
1. Did you do the install?
2. What clutch disc and pp did you use?
3. Are you getting ANY gear rattle?
4. How's the clutch engagement, like stock?
5. A flywheel change is usually not enough to notice a performance difference, but does the car feel like it accelerates quicker?
Thanks in advance for any info.

The VIN is LK60034 which I believe is April 2001 build date - I can look at the car tonight to confirm if needed.
I assisted a mechanic I know pretty well (read: tool gofer but I did learn a lot doing it!). The tranny is a real pain to get out but the flywheel/clutch was pretty easy.
Here are some comments I made about the sound previously - It's post 6 on the thread
Rogue
They engagment is similar to stock but you just have to be a lot faster since the revs fall quickly. It's not a problem on 1-2 or 3-4 but 4-5 can be tough - I've adjusted to it and like it now though.
I know this is a bad scientist of me but I can't comment on the acceleration difference since at the same time I did a 3.73 diff swap. I can say, however, it is nice during heal/toe downshifts.
