Do you reckon that is just true for the FA20 engine or all engines.
(or did I misunderstand?)
If it's just for the FA20 engine, why is that so? Isn't their enough residual oil on the rod bearings to give sufficient lubrication until the engine builds up enough oil pressure to feed the bearings?
If you figure that's true for all engines, how come I've never had a spun bearing in any of the 40 some vehicles I've had over the past 50 years?
