has anyone had bad bearings in a remanufactured engine
Fellas, make sure when you do an engine swap that you make sure your oil pan and oil cooler is flushed out. I purchased an engine from Atkins rotary, it lasted about 30 minutes before the bearings were in the oil pan. I believe that the bearings were not properly installed, but Atkins says that it was oil contaminants, and if it happens again they will not cover it. I know that my oil cooler and oil pan was clean, but i cannot prove that. Atkins REPAIRED the engine, but im scared that it will happen again. does anyone have any ideas?

well in this case you can't win. You say your pan/lines/cooler were clean... and they say they were not. You also can't prove that there was anything wrong with the internals of the engine since you never saw them.
