car eating throw out bearings.
So about 8 months ago I replaced the clutch, flywheel, and both pilot and throw out bearings. so four months after that the timing chain. hopped and valves smacked the pistons. soon after I swapped motors everything works fine, but the bearing is screaming again
Why is the bearing toasted so soon?

That's a bummer,considering how much work is involved. I suppose that it could be out of adjustment,if it doesn't have the standard factory cable set up..Some of the forum members think that a Ford OEM TOB is the only one to be used.

Even doing that (factory TOB) may not resolve the issue. I went through no less than 3 new ones (replaced by the dealer) after I had my clutch replaced. Never did get it to stop until I just ignored it for a few thousands miles...then..it just stopped making noise one day....
