Thanks for the edumication captain obvious. I know what causes bearings to spin. However, when it comes to the Duratec engine, there are two philosophies ... I subscribe to the one less believed.

If it where an oiling issue, you could spin a bearing driving it home from the dealership or shortly thereafter. Yet, time and time again, these bearings are being spun with many miles (>20,000 miles) on the clock. Funny how that works!

Anyone heard of a spun bearing with less than 20,000 miles on the engine?
