Insert bearings
Hi Gents,
I have looked at the web sites of some of the Model A parts suppliers and it seems as if loose insert conrod bearings are not available. Main bearing inserts are available, however it seems as if conrod inserts only come with NEW conrods and not separate. Could anyone please shed some light on the subject?

Re: Insert bearings
Check Snyder's. The new rods do not come with bearings you buy the size you need.

Re: Insert bearings
Original rods are rough-machined, then babbitted. In order to put inserts in them they must be re-machined to fit the insert, likely just as economical to make new rods and be assured of new parts, old rods often have weak threads.
