There is a lot of discussion on here about engine bearings, oil clearances, bearing materials, surface finish, etc., etc. I found a very interesting/informative site written by an engineer at King Bearing Company so I decided to start a new thread so anyone interested can check it out: substech.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=enginebearings Then click on: Engine bearings [SubsTech]
more on bearing clearances

Are you sure that is a good link? Is this the link you are referencing?

That's the same guy but your link is different. Apparently he has another company called SubsTech where I found much more info. I'm not real swift on computers so once I found the link I have to type it in and do a search.

If you like to play around and design a bearing to see what different values and materials do you can get the ENSIM program from KING.
I think Subs Tech is more like a tech site for bearings then a company...The founder is working for KING.
Found he still does custom consulting work...So if your going for the records and don´t mind having a KING sticker on the side of the car...maybe thoose custom flathead bearings aren´t to far away...
