Rod side clearance

[1972ho]

I only have one rod bearing for now I’m just checking things out and trial fitting to see what else needs to be done.Thats why if you know of a narrower rod bearing I try one of those.

Post a pic of that bearing in one of the offending rods and a pic of the filet radius on the crankshaft rod journal.

Things like this make me glad that this speed talk forum is here with lots of cooperation from all all over the country.
Things are looking good this morning the rod is now moving in both directions and the crank rotated with ez.Between removing the rod and reinstalling the bearing I think I may have had the bearing in wrong meaning the tang orientation upper/lower.

Those bearings should be labeled upper and lower, FYI. That doesn't mean the rods were correctly, though. LOL

I've got an application where they will actually require all upper shells, meaning I've gotta buy two sets of bearings to get one...
