[Superman]

Bump. Speak to me, oh wise and learned men (and ladies) of power. Share with me the secrets of bottom ends (keep it clean). Can I just slap new rod bearings in the car and assume they are not too tight? Or should the time-honored Plastigage ceremony be performed to ward off evil friction-spirits? And does this hold true if I have the rods reconditioned? And share with me the mysteries of wrist pin bushes (again, keep it clean).
