I'll add another data point. I have just finished assembling the bottom end on my '78 SC motor.

I used Glycos (standartd) made in south Africa.

I measured every shell to make sure they were not defective. They all measured the same at each end (near the parting line) and at the center. I measured each bearing shell in three places, at each end and the center. I also measured some of the original, used bearings that I removed. They measured the same as the new bearings, taking into consideration some very slight wear.

I confirmed the fit of my rods on my crank using plastiguage. Each rod exhibited no noticeable play, but moved freely.

I figured that if they did not measure correctly, I would return them. However they fit fine, from what I can tell.
