It would be pretty sad if this would really be the case of somebody just missing inserting both of them. First of all their parts counts would have had to have been way off because they should be issued in sets. Unless somebody slipped them in their pocket and took them home there's gotta be a lot of leftover thrust bearing somewhere..
You may be giving GM too much credit here. I think they just pull these parts from a big bin and stick them in and when the bins empty, they bring them another bin. If it was really done like the way they build aircraft engines you are issued a specific number of parts, the correct amount of parts to assemble the engine correctly, and if you don't have enough of something or something leftover you have made a mistake and must go back.
Either way, it's a mess. The LM2 was pretty bulletproof.
It's seeming more and more that it's only a mess if you are missing one and that seems to be getting less and less attention anymore. If you are all put together you are and have always been in as good of shape as any LM2. This problem, while a problem if you have it, is nowhere near in the arena of the 6.2 issue.
