Default crankshaft shell broken.. why??
what could cause one to break? my brothers 2.0 fiesta spun a shell the other day and when stripped it down last night it appears part of it has broken down and left him with lil bits of metal all over the place..
just wondering what could have caused this as there was plently of oil in the engine..

lack of oil pressure, blocked oilway, filter element broken down, faulty oil pump.
