>A spun bearing is a catastrophic engine failure. Do you have that right! F combine engine ran hot for a few minutes, then it ran rough, then it made a _very_ loud bang and was totally quiet. Walked back to the engine, & saw the smoke curling out of the hole in the oil pan. When the connecting rod went, it shattered the camshaft at every bearing, damaged the head in that cylinder, hit an oil channel damaging the block, and took out the oil pan. When the mechanic dropped the oil pan, many little pieces dropped out. He looked it through & felt a main bearing spun, no oil to 1/2 the engine. --->Paul
