One inch wide insert bearings
Pulled and engine apart. Two observations.
1) It has insert bearing on the rods. The inserts were centered in the rod journal but were only one inch wide, not the usual width of the rod. 2) There is machined welds on each side of the rods and rod caps to replace the babitted side thrust portion of the babitted bearing. Has any one seen this before? Last edited by Mongo; 04-01-2020 at 09:48 PM. |

Yes, common before the AER and other replacement insert rods were made.

Yep, commonly done. The bearings could be Volvo?

Re: One inch wide insert bearings
I chose Volvo because they are thinner than most bearings so less material was removed from the B rods. They have held up well, 167 mph on the salt, bearings still look good.
