Ball Bearings

Can the wrong transmission fluid effect ball bearings?
A friend of mine had his Nissan repaired recently. He had the timing chain and water pump replaced. A week later, the car dies. He returns to the shop that fixed it. They say his ball bearings are pretty much gone and that he needs a new engine. When he asked what could have caused this, they say that somewhere along the line a previous shop put the wrong trans fluid in his car and that that is the cause of this whole thing. Is this possible?
WHOOPS! Not ball bearings, just engine bearings.....sorry!!!
Something is very wrong with this. The engine does not use ball bearings, but sleeve bearings that are lubricated by oil under pressure. Bearing failure makes a terrible racket and can soon lead to catastrophic engine failure - the engine dies with a horrendous bang, bang, bang, Bang!
That shop is unwilling to give your friend an honest answer. He will have to take it someplace that can tell him why his engine quit. It is hard to avoid the suspicion the timing chain was installed wrong and the failure a week after the shop worked on it is the reason for the bogus explanation. Timing chain failure will definitely cause the engine to quit, and often does serious damage to the valves.
