[Shotimes] rod bearings

[David Schultz]

This is true.  I am in the process of rebuilding a 3.2l, and have replaced 
the main and rod bearings.  Where as the rods had considerable, but even 
wear, the main bearings had considerably less visible signs of wear and 
probably didn't need replacing.  The rod berings however, did not have much 
life left in them.  This on an engine '94 engine with 90,xxx miles on it.
