I have one friend with a 2.7 and a 3.6 track car. Both suffered rod bearing failures first time out. This is the reason the Clevite bearing was developed.

I am building a 2.45 for my '70E street restoration and will be using the Clevite bearings on the advice of the local Porsche engine guru here in CT.
From my research it seems clevites are only made for American cars - how can you apply these to 911 engines?
