Default Re: Rod bearing help

You might find the bearings from Max VP. Fitting the floating bearings is a mathematical problem subtract the rod journal diameter from the connecting rod ID and that's the thickness of the bearing minis the Bearing clearance. I like to run .002 on the rod side and .0025 on the crank side. Your going to have to "Hammer" the bearing "round" before installing, I've never worked with this much mismatch, but it does work. Give these numbers to max and he'll fix you up, if he has them.
