First let me give a little back history. I bought a truck CAT C13 ACERT this last February 2022 that had a rebuilt motor in September of 2020 The truck was then parked from December of 2020 till February of 2022 (used maybe once a month for that whole year it was parked.) I bought it with less than 200 hours on the rebuilt motor. In April I had it in the shop to put a new air compressor on that had burned up and was told there was some metal shavings in the oil pan. I didn't think much of it because it was a rebuilt motor. In July, 3 teeth sheared off of one of the idler gears and ruined all of the other gears in the motor compartment. I recently got my truck back and it was out of the shop for 2 weeks before the exact same thing happened again. I've been racking my brain as to what could cause gears to fail twice in a matter of 500 hours worth of motor use when these motors should go for about a million miles. Any help would mean. Much appreciated
