Also known as bowed rotor syndrome and affects the IAE V2500 series engines fitted to Airbus A320 series and some McDonnell MD90s. This is known to happen particularily after use of Reverse above idle followed by short taxi to stand and shutdown without allowing sufficient cool down to stabilise the core temperatures.
