Perhaps the most unfortunate aspect s that the very expensive big ends of most of the cars affected will now be loaded with abrasive debris. Or perhaps there has not been time to circulate.
I am surprised at the degree of wear, especially as one gear remained unchanged. I presume material and the sparse lubrication is the basic cause. Has anyone encountered a similar conflict in any other device?
Perhaps for the next API rating they could add the Seven Dynamotor test. But not much chance without ZDP.
