Default Re: Insert bearings

"One other thing to keep in mind is ensure you do not allow an insert bearing to roll or spin in the cap or in the block as this will distort the cap or block generally requiring both to be line-bored again."

Very true.
Most people do NOT realize that the tang on a bearing shell is there ONLY to locate the shell on assembly. It does NOT keep the shell from spinning. The crush holds the shell in place.
