[Shotimes] rod bearings

[Jim and Debbie Leyden]

On my '93 #4 was the only bad one.  It had spun but didn't mess up the
journal.  That was 30,000 miles ago and still running like a champ!

On my  '93 cylinders 6,3 & 4 were the worst.  The front three showed normal
wear.  Mr. Porter surmised the rear cylinders are furthest from the oil pump
and get less oil.  One of the reasons I choose to go the Auto-RX treatment
way to get the oil passages as clean as possible.
