Remind me how long it took Wastelands to develop a system for the Sea King that was already in use on the S61?...and had been from the mid 70's.
I am not standing up for Sikorsky on this, this problem should have been sorted out years ago.
Phil Kemp, you beat me to it.

Yes Wastelands were doing what they do best - waiting to see how much they could charge the customer for providing something that should have been there in the first place.

Either way, the S-92 'fix' isn't new technology and adds extra pipes and complexity that they claimed was what they had eliminated with the original design of the MRGB.

I think if you reached the stage where the AC Gens and 1/2 hydraulic pumps have mechanically failed due to lack of lubrication, you have really stretched your luck!

I can say, though, that during prolonged churning the AC Gens will trip offline due to overheating (being normally cooled by the MGB oil). We lost No 1 and I don’t know how long No 2 would have stayed online. This then revealed a stuck AC bus relay, so No 1 AC bus dropped offline and took the No 1 and Backup DC Converters with it.
