Full floating rod bearings

[Andy]

I am having a time fitting the floating rod bearings. Is there a procedure that someone might share on how to measure and fit them?

 

[kurt v]

Do you have Ol' Ron's book NOSTALGIA, that should help you do the bearings?

No. How can I get one?

We have them in stock. You can order through our website or call the office next week.

Here is a short video showing Bored&Stroked (Dale) test fitting floating rod bearings for his hopped up 41 Mercury engine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyVLsPdbhS8

Thanks 38Coupe: When you say you're having issues, what exactly do you mean? Give us some more to work with --> including crankshaft dimensions (done with a precision barrel mic), bearing sizes, bearing thickness, etc..
