Glyco vs clevite rod bearings - with data |
I, for one, will not be using Glyco bearings in my upcoming rebuild. But I do have a question about the measurements that onevoice did above on rod bearings that were installed. Could a contributing factor to the large various noted in bearing thickness have been the very fact that they were installed? I understand that bearings squish a little when installed and everything is torqued down. It seems reasonable that this may result in a some distortion on the ends of the bearing shells where they touch when installed (and where it appears onevoice measured) ... I am speculating here, and have no idea how much if any distortion is to be expected due to squishing.
