: Just had the crank replaced in a Kohler 321. After
: running 1.5 hours the rod bearing siezed. The shop that did
: the work said it siezed because I was using 10W30 and not
: plain 30 weight. : Are they handing me a line?? YES - Their is no way in hell that a good quality 10W30 oil
will cause the rod bearing to sieze in 1 1/2 hours. I could see over time that different oil's will cause
the engine to wear differently and shorten it's life. My bet is that the shop forgot to put oil in the engine
and then ran it. You got it is their fault and I would settle
for nothing less that a new short block and push for a new
engine all together.
