So here is a question I've been pondering since I spun a rod bearing...

The oil that feeds the engine is drawn from the oil tank. How is it that bearings can get damaged from particles originating in the engine (like when by bearing came apart) if they are supposed to go through the filter and into the tank before feeding the engine?

Shouldn't all oil in the tank be cleaned by the filter before it gets there?
