With a little digging, I found a Clevite book that specified 0.0003 tolerance per bearing shell. These Glyco's have over 30 TIMES that amount.

Some of them have reverse eccentricity, where the shell is thicker at the parting line than at the middle. As far as I have been able to determine, there are absolutely no engines designed that way. There are only 3 shells out of the 12 that belong in an engine, and they are marginal. There is no possible way a bearing shell should vary in thickness 0.011 between it's own parting lines. How in the world did it make it through any sort of quality control?
