That video shows you how to do it. At the 58sec mark, don't select what they're selecting. Copy the link under 'message boards' and paste into your reply here.

If the bearings were that hammered, tuning or fuel delivery issues could be a factor.

Are you running a Procharger? Was the crank/balancer pinned?
