Re: Bad rod bearing
Werner Yes I was sure you meant that. I was worried someone less knowledgeable would think you were grinding just the insert shells.
If you leave the shells in the caps and surface them on a stone, you will remove the protrusion of the shells and the crush which is important for tightness and bearing shape. That is why I stoned the caps without the shells in place. I could have then removed 0.0005 inch from the shells to retain the same crush, but did not bother. So my bearings have a very slightly bigger lemon shape than before I resurfaced the caps.
