Years ago there was a Caravan that dead sticked onto Lake Burbury in Tasmania. The first indication that all was not right was a chip detector light. Not long after the engine stopped and they were all very lucky that they were not over the mountains. That was caused by a starter/generator electrical spike making its way into the main bearing causing pitting. The chip detector light was the first indication that the bearing was about to self-destruct.
