The first problem is that the oil galley plug on pre-2001 model year engines were made of aluminum and would unscrew causing a catastrophic loss of oil pressure that results in big-end bearing failure.

Thats quite an open ended quote isnt it.
That crank design started life in the pantah engines ... and must be in the f1, 906, 907, 851, 888.
Why have we never heard of the problem ?
Was it used _starting_ from a particular year too ?
