Sounds attractive, but I scoured Clevite's catalog and don't see any bearing that would work with the 2.125" big end on the rods. Looks like that would involve new rods...and that ain't gonna happen!

Paul, I figured 'ya for a small journal guy!

. Clevite and King offer .050 and .060 undersize.....maybe that wouldn't be a bad way to go? -Al

I believe back in the day some creative racers built spacers held by dowel pins to get down to smaller journals on the crank to decrease bearing speed. Tech gave in and now we have Honda journals. BTW I was running 40 over king bearings with no problems but I don,t think you can get them in a full race bearing. Tom
