[Shotimes] rod bearings

[Ron Porter]

Probably the latter.

It's for folks that spend the week before the Convention putting nice new
stuff on the car that will all have to be redone when they get home!!

Is that the advanced group, or the glutton for punishment group?

Yes, we should leave it alone.

BTW, if the two "unsaid individuals" end up in the Advanced group again next
year, my old Boy Scout knife can slit sidewalls really well!!  ;-)

Let's not bring up certain people in the advanced run group this year...
:-)

I just couldn't resist, must be close to Miller Time!

That's interesting. I've only examined one 3.2 engine rod bearings during a
conversion at 45k miles, but they were in good shape by Plastigage checking.
The larger pump must be to compensate for the increase in reciprocating mass
since the atx can't be lugged. Too bad that Yamaha didn't retrofit the
larger pump design for the 3.0 and make the 3.2 pump better.
