Received my FG90R3 on Friday; I'm very impressed with the appearance and machining of external components. I was very curious to see the internal workings, so I removed the rear cover to have a looksee. The machined internal components are also impressive, but there is an obvious problem with "my engine" that my lead to a catastrophic problem if not corrected. The moving components, master rod, connecting rods at the connecting points are what I consider dry with very little sign of lubrication used during engine assembly. For anyone who has not run their engine for the first time, for goodness sake add lubricating oil to the crankcase before you even consider starting the engine for the break-in procedure!
