Putting pistons in my 383. Seeing trouble with rod bearing
I can lossen and crack the cap and slide the bearing a bit but it slides right back over when tight.
ok heres the deal. they are supposed to be offset.
look at the step, they beveled that corner the exact same size it sticks out. then look at the corner on the opposite shell. its straight cut.
so that offset is normal or they wouldnt have beveled that corner. I just got off the phone with clevite 77 and theres nothing in the literature he has that says when or why they did that. It just dont make sense like everything else in 2024.
Thats my answer. "its normal" according to how that bearing came from Clevite. They made it that way for a reason.
