ski-doo rod bearing failure possible cause

[curt234]

I notice that the fitting for the oil injection inside the lower crank case is block with iso flex grease. It just happen to be the same side that my rod bearing failed on. Pto side fitting isn't plug and that bearing is fine. What do u guys think ? I can see premixing in the future.

I take it that the mag side rod bearing (big end?) failed? Just put one back together after same thing happened. Did not look at injector fitting (new one came with short block) When I split the case it was the crank bearing on mag side bearing lost the spacer and allowed the crank to wobble that took out rod bearing. I have read other posts of same problems.

I did this to my 02 800 when it was brand new, still on the same crank.
