Good to know Tom, thanks...
I noticed they are wider in the center oil band
On th rods I noticed they also taper that unlike teh clevites I have....
They seem hard as holy hell for a trimetal bearing, maybe that why they maintain thier crush ?
Thanks a lot, its nice to know now from more than one source "they are right" they just look odd...not that odd is bad, but never having seen them prior to being put in an engine taking them out with low runtime well...they still look "odd"
Tearing it all down for the last time and back for final assembly all is well in the world. Had a hell of a time getting a cam (of the 3) setup right, but well it is now....the reasons it wouldnt are stupid beyound belief (and good in a way) So my NEW cam will work. Im happy.
Should be "on the road" Friday Morning.
Cheers
Chris
