Spun 360 Rod Bearing

Get high quality steel shell aluminum bearings. We use King Bearings. heat treated they look blued. The locks are stronger and they don't squash the centers out as easy from timing being advanced to far or High boost up to 60 psi. I'll bet they are loose in the rod. I have seen bearings you can spread with your fingers or when stepped on. A good bearing will go through a rubber sole of a shoe. Junk bearing you will flatten out.
Hi Steve. I hoped that fire isn't affecting you.
I hear you on the Kings. The bearings in it are Clevite 77's. Would you happen to know if they're comparable? I just did a little searching about bearings; there's a bunch to learn!
I'm curious as to what the machine shop has to say. I would use your son, if it weren't so far. I still might if I don't hear what I want to hear!
you should get the rod resized before reassembly too, now the bearings have been spinning in it.
On my list, as mentioned in the last sentence. I have to check all of them.
