## Discrepancy

MASTER ROD BEARING FAILED AND SEIZED TO CRANKSHAFT ROD JOURNAL ON GROUND AFTER START-UP.  LACK OF PROPER LUBRICATION.  SUSPECT CAUSED FROM NOT PROPERLY PRE-OILING DURING START-UP.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTS THIS ENGINE IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO OIL STARVATION AT START-UP, ESPECIALLY AFTER SITTING.
