Doesn't the connecting rods put more pressure on the crank than the mains do ?
If the oil pressure would drop suddenly, wouldn't the centrifical forces on the rod mains,
cause the oil to be pulled off faster than it would leave the Main Bearings ?
I understand Terry's point, but the bearings don't seize immediately after the oil pressure drops.
It takes a few seconds for them to heat up to point where they melt.
Where the pressure is greatest, should be where heats up the fastest,
due to friction and pressure, and that would cause it to seize first.
Please correct me if my thinking is wrong.
