On the back of the Glycos are what appear to be date codes. Nobody has provided any detailed lot or manufacturing date info in any of these threads that I've seen.
I have 2 sets of 3.2 rod bearings, both Glycos. 1 set I just took out of an engine to change configurations, and a new set of Glycos waiting to go in. Replacing bearings as good measure.
The set that came out of my engine is stamped 04-08 on the back of each bearing.
The new set is stamped 10-12.
We could surmise these are month and year...Walt Fricke, what are yours stamped? Flip the thing over and tell us.
I can say that my 04-08 and the 10-12 set have different sized stamping numbers, and slightly different relief stampings to orient the bearing to the rod. So they clearly did not come off the same manufacturing equipment, but that means next to nothing. Happens all the time.
We need concrete date code and country of origin data to start pinning it down. Otherwise you guys may be chasing a problem with bearings manufactured 2 years ago that have sat in inventory. Who knows.
