For example, if just one main bearing and the rod receiving oil from it show lack of lubrication, the problem is most likely a restriction in the oil passage which feeds that main bearing. If only the rod bearing is oil-starved, it is possible that the restriction is in the drilled passage in the crankshaft leading to it.
