[Shotimes] rod bearings

[Ron Childs]

I don't think the auto makers care if you lug the heck out of your engine. They build 'em to last at least three years or 36k even if lugged.

I concur, lugging a car engine doesn't do anything to damage the bearings.
One of the points that I have disagreed on that is popular on the list is
that you shouldn't run it under 2000 RPM. Heck, 2000 RPM in 5th is barely
55 MPH. I can't believe that they would design a car that was "lugging" at
what the maximum posted speed limit was in those days.
