1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration
Was installing the 2nd piston and saw something odd about the new bearings. The bearing did not sit down flush on one side of the rod. Then saw there is an upper and lower shell!!! Very common on crank bearings but seldom seen on rod bearings. One shell is a bit longer than the other so the bearing split is offset from the connecting rod parting line.
